Nice work jeeper! You build some well constructed stuff. I don't think I've ever seen one with a downspout coupler attached to the lid before. Does it have an overflow?
silly question.why didnt you create a diverter for the first flush off the roof which will contain bird poop and such?
Very cool ideas. This is one of my 13 Skills. I will definately use the photos for a guide.Not sure, but do you treat the rain water once it is stored w/ anything? Does it just cycle in fresh as it rains, flushing the older water? Not sure how that works.
Update. It has been over a year now and the barrel has been working fine. I did take it down and wash it out. The screen at the gutter worked real well in catching the debris. I only had very small stuff in the bottom of the barrel.
Finally got around to building mine.Thanks for the inspiration!More info on it here
