I finally got some pieces to start working on finishing up one of the many projects i have going on.
I got some more barrels like around the beginning of the year or last year, i cannot remember.
I picked this way of making the barrels so i do not have to drill any un-wanted holes in the barrels in case i need them for something else.
Also if i run low on water there is still always some in there with out going out of the hose ends.
So here is some pictures to show the progress.

Don't know (Can't tell from the pics), but you did tilt them slightly. so they will fill completely, and have a reservoir that will allow solids to settle out, and not run into the Draw Piping, right?
That is a reasonable tankage - gonna do that at the end of all of your gutters? +1Christian4Israel
