Yay. Glad it's working out.  Most of our water tanks have a mesh plate at top to stop leaves/twigs falling in and the spigot is usually 1-2" from bottom to let anything that does get through to settle on bottom so you don't actually get any gunk, people have been known  to put a filter on the tap to purify further.

Oh wow - another filter - didn't even think about that option, but we aren't going to drink it - just use for bathing, washing dishes and the composting toilett.  Saves us the walk to the creek.  Not that we are lazy, but there is just so much to do at the cabin site, that we try to minimize the unnecessary time it takes to do this.  Thanks!

sounds like a fun place

[ereino]

Other than all of the work involved in keeping up a second place, it is very relaxing and beautiful.  We got 5 gallons of water for the composting toilett last weekend.  My husband is going to devise a gutter system, V shape, so the water funnels better into the rain barrel.  Next time we go up.   What joy!

Take some pictures ,would love to see it

[ereino]

okay, i'll try to remember to take some pics.

Got eight gallon out of the water catcher this weekend.  AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[umpa]

That is so cool

[ereino]

It sure is - 1 gal of store bought water is anywhere from $.79 to $1.00.  And getting water out of the creek is too time consuming.  So this water barrel catcher is going to pay for itself.  lovin it lovin it lovin it! 

Bye for now Umpa and all.  Have a wonderful rest of the day and a jolly happy weekend.

The water barrel is FULL !      I think I have talked this water barrel thing through now - but I can't help it.  Hopefully this will be the last of talking about it.  lol!

[umpa]

That is so cool!

Well we do love to chit chat on here Ellie!!

[ereino]

we sure do, susie....it's fun and the people are nice.  How is your daughter doing these days? 

[o0OSusieO0o]

She's doing great. Her weight is up, but she's at a healthy size she should be at. She's 5'3" and 110 lbs and size 4. She is satisfied too. I told her that she gained because her body changed and it sure does for a girl at 15. Luckily she ate healthy during all this only going over once in a great while with fruit thankfully. She thanks me for changing her eating habits. She says she would be a fat teenager if I didn't. She has a tiny waist still so that's a sign of weight gain to growing in hips etc. She loves her figure now. I'm so glad to have a child happy with her looks.
