About 10 years ago I began construction of an extensive rainwater collection and storage system to support our efforts in organic gardening on our urban homestead. We are now pr-pairing for a full time RV lifestyle and that means the 1000 gallon catchment and storage system that I constructed will be dissembled and re-homed. Meanwhile I found this footage that I shot years ago and decided to share it with my fellow KZfaqrs in the hope that someone else can benefit from the solutions that I created. I found the blue barrels on my local Craigs list and all of the PVC pipe and fittings came from Home Depot, the rest had me running all over to find so I have simplified things for you.
Here is a list of the various “hard to find” parts you will need to recreate the wind mill and rain water system.
