I just got up from taking a few more zzzz’s. The yard guys are here and doing their thing.

I have watched our drains from the roof gutters and we never have a very good flow. We have the gutters blown clean every 2 weeks during leaf season, but still the flow would not fill a small plastic pool in a year, so it seems. I was amazed that you filled your pool so quickly. I may try to catch rain and see just how much I can get.

I only have half of the back of my house guttered, and that is just for catching water. I could fill more containers than I have. I've got 2 each 55 gallon drums with screens, and a hard plastic wading pool. All are currently overflowing from yesterday's rain.

I'd like to get a 1500 gallon black ABS tank, but those cost $$s and unless I find one on the side of the road, that's not going to happen. ;)

Well, you do have to have a decent rain! We are getting rain today a bit slower just have half and inch so far, but Hubby diverted the flow to it wouldn’t go into the pool.

How much does it cost to have someone come in and clean out the gutters? We are talking about getting the mesh covers so that the leaves don’t even get into the drains. Hubby was going to check and see how much it costs. He does the clean out himself so far.

We just put gutters in last year in preperation for getting more water storage, before that we just had the rain barrels under the edge of the eaves where the most water came off the roof.

I have to go to Walmart today to pick up some tax software. May try to get Hubby to do it so that I don’t have to get out and be tempted to spend money.LOL
