Hey, gang - more about BARRELS!

"Hey! What's happened to this blog? Used to be, I'd come here and dude would be chastising indie rock standards or writing about imagined movie scripts where Stanley Kubrick eats a bad falafel or something - now it's barrels NON-STOP!"

Sorry, haters! If you are SO very anti-barrel, there is a whole internet just replete with items irrelevant to water holding and its machines! Go on, explore! And if you feel strongly enough about it, go start a barrelblasphemy.tv site or something!

MEANwhile, those thunderstorms yesterday? They were the first water-makers since the house-attached barrel was put in place. I was wondering just how much water we would get...it poured for 45 minutes or so, then was wet and sloppy for a bit after the downpour.

SO, fifty-five gallon drum, right? How full, I wonder...


















I dunno, let's say ALL THE WAY, maybe????

Now that I have all this free water, surely it will be mere minutes before I go all survivalist in the basement like James Cromwell on Six Feet Under, have a little bunker equipped with old Vanity Fairs and Wendy's chili seasoning packets! CANNOT WAIT!

So how does this work? Do you have to use 55 gallons of water before the next rain, or what?
