Dominic Paz 10/26/2016 12:48 PMI found some empty rain barrel containers and used gutters outside of a home that had been demolished. I used these materials to create a rain collection system for my home. After a couple of hours I had a rain collection system of my own! My veggies in my garden and in my home are gonna love the rainwater!-
