I finally finished it!!! My rainwater harvesting system is up and running. =0) I just got it finished yesterday, and today it rained, the first time in a month. Hooray! We didn't get enough rain to get the tank water level high enough to reach the spigot, but it's a start.

It's an 1100 gallon tank and right now I'm only collecting from one side of the roof. Theoretically we should get enough rain each year to run two of these tanks--one for each side of the roof--but I thought I'd just see how reality meets theory and see if the one side is enough to keep a tank fullish while I use the water for the garden. If it does, then I'll get another tank for the other end of the house and do the gutters from the other half of the roof to it. Otherwise, I'll run both gutters to the one tank.

But this is a project that's been years in the making, and it's nice to finally have it up and working. Now I can tackle another unfinished project... hmmm, let's see.... so many to choose from. LOL
