We just put ours in this summer for the 1st time. It doesn't look as neat, but it does the job. I think we'll be up to 2 RBs for next summer.

Our shop building is right next to the garden, and with 1400 sq ft (horizontal plane measurement) of roof, we'll have a decent capture area. (Too bad most of the rain comes during the winter in Sacramento. Maybe I need a *really* big tank...)JimVhttp://www.houseblogs.net/community/account.php?u=1980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10090026.post-86577621734187571992007-09-19T12:51:00.000-05:002007-09-19T12:51:00.000-05:00awesome... i might have to think about doing that at my house too.Mike Ramireznoreply@blogger.com
