Makin' it rain!

So, step one on the experiment with rain water collection is complete!  Found a location in town that sells food grade 55 gallon plastic barrels for only $15 each!

And they are even green, how about that!  Next, a few more supplies from the local home and garden store, along with re-outfitting some of our downspouts and we should be in business just in time for the rain here in San Diego.  I will keep you posted on the progress, but for now, here is how we intend to build our rainwater collection system!  Wish me luck, photos soon!
