2 jobs that should be simple but... rain gutter and barrel rant.
Rain harvest system
Oh sure. Sounds real simple. Rain Gutters Oh Sure. Sounds real simple. Rain gutters are simple unless you have tilted fascia boards and you didn't know they needed flashing until after you install them. Even with youtube I seemed to make these two tasks as difficult as possible. The outcome was good, up to now, but required more effort than I imagined and I still have to put in another 20 ft of gutters. I'm trying to equalize the pressure in the 55gal poly sealed rain barrels (not stacked.) I have 1/4" vinyl tubing with grommets, elbows and tees, but its a sealed system so the pressure can get relatively high. not sure how high tho. Never put 1/4" vinyl tubing w/ grommets to the test. Anyone that worked with a sealed system? I'm trying to avoid an overflow. I could put an overflow on the 1st barrel if there is no other alternative thereby eliminating the water pressure at the top of the barrel. An overflow seems to be the simpler alternative. dw |
