Every connection on the roof also received a 'Simpson' Hurricane Tie. Tales o...

http://offgridarmy.blogspot.com/p/rainwater-harvesting.html
On a homestead, water can be a big issue. I'm located in the Sandhills region of North Carolina, and water is plentiful. For me, the choice came down to two options: rainwater or well. I live on a high bank near a small river, and a modest well 20' or 30' deep would have produced clear water. However, I decided to go with rainwater collection for several reasons, including:. It CAN BE one of the purest sources of water possible (this depends on how we handle the water). I hand wash dishes. A parts list, ...

http://offgridarmy.blogspot.com/2011/10/first-post.html
Tuesday, October 11, 2011. Welcome to my very own blog! This project has been on the back burner for a long while, but better late than never! This project has special meaning for me in that it's about my life.
