Every Tuesday, I'll be sharing some of the bigger projects that we've done around the house.
This is our rainwater tank. It's 150 gallons. Jason has most of the gutters in the back of the house draining into the tank. He has some sort of pump hooked up to the tank that allows us to water the plants, grass or whatever. BUT...supposedly this really isn't enough to do that much good. He's wishing for a 3,000 gallon tank. That's sounds more like a hot tub to me. Which I'm all for but somehow I don't see either one of those happening anytime soon. So basically, we spent money on the tank, the gutters, the gravel/concrete bed for the tank, the pump, and the fencing to fence in the tank to get very little in return. So for anyone planning to collect their rainwater, just go for the big tank right up front. Or skip it all together and just get the hot tub. Or maybe even a pool. There's bound to be something green about a pool.
