  1. Oh yeah almost forgot.. Joker you will want to filter the water you collect from the roof. It will have pollen, spores, leaves, etc in it. Get a smaller 30 gallon tank with the 2" outlet, some stainless screen door mesh, 40lbs of activated charcoal, a few bags of sand and pea gravel. The mesh keeps everything from being washed out the outlet, a couple layers of it held in place by the charcoal and sand will do the trick. Charcoal on bottom, then sand, then gravel, leave three or four inches on top of the gravel for space because the water will overflow otherwise. All you need to do to recharge the filter is remove the sand and gravel, spread it on your driveway, replace the mesh if needed, and put more charcoal, sand and gravel in it. A screen on top where the water goes in will keep leaves and twigs out. The roof you have will fill those 275 gallon tanks in ten to thirty minutes with a mild shower. You can build a filter like that very cheap, and it works great. Should keep the algae and moss out of the tanks. UV light in the tank will take care of microbial life like giardia. You can use it to shower, wash dishes, toilet, laundry, etc. Its also drinkable, but you will probably still want to use a filter again, though you might not have to. No need to stack them, put them side by side and connect the outlets together. Raise them up a bit, like 3 to 6 feet so its easy to reach the valves, and it will give some water pressure if you attach a garden hose to it for a power washer or something. The ones I have right now are for ethanol and methane, they had chemicals in them before, got them on a farm sale. Don't want to risk it. I am getting a couple more brand new ones later this year for the house and yard, they will be elevated so I can get some pressure from them. Gravity is your friend. Mosquitoes like standing water, they will lay eggs in buckets or tanks, so be aware of that and make it difficult for them to get in your water supply. Screens on the tanks help a lot. I found some traps at Lowes, they have a UV light and a fan, they pull the skeeters into a trap, and the fan prevents them from escaping. Round black things like tiny grain bins in a red and white box. There is a trap door in it so if the fan shuts off they don't escape. Four of them around my land made a huge difference for me last year. Used to be that end of May to mid July I had to fog insecticide three times a day, dawn midday and dusk, just to be able to walk outside and not get swarmed. The traps made it so I only fogged a handful of times, and the dragonflies and birds liked it much better. There are also tablets that supposedly only take out skeeter larvae, but I have not tried them. Some of those in buckets around your property are very inviting to the skeeters and stops them before they hatch. The traps work good for me, so I haven't tried them yet.

  3. Its all green there... I am jealous. Its snowing here today. Yeah I am not bothering with females at all, only the one who is my friend that helps me move vehicles and stuff gets any time with me. Videos on all the energy stuff are coming, my sawmill is on the way. Its a key to what I am doing here.

  4.  @happybike3823  living like you're off grid even when you're not can make living far more affordable. The only connections to the grid I have are electrical power and internet. I can do without both if I must.

  5. yeah there will always be a simp out there who thinks that validating her and showering attention will get his tab D moistened. What will end it is survival pressure, when life is difficult and survival is not easy, there is no room for that silliness. They cannot survive on their own, they cannot build shelters for themselves, grow the food, or defend everything they have. Currently they do not have to do any of that, its all done for them. So they think they are strong and independent, because men are doing all that work for them, out of sight. A society run and controlled by females walks everywhere and lives in mud huts.

  6.  @happybike3823  `my life is pretty minimal other than my car thing.... which has gotten out of hand at the moment. I need to scrap and sell some trucks. I got into all the homesteading stuff by trying to find a way to fuel my old muscle cars. Then the last divorce forced my hand a bit, and I had to rebuild. Since the power grid is unreliable here I have been working on producing all my energy. The less I have to give away the more I have to spend on what I want... which is parts for the old rusty heaps I rebuild. There are more car parts and stuff like that in my house than anything else. Its heat, food, internet, and car parts. No female would ever want to live like I do. Yes, its intentional.

  7.  @allenbanks910  thanks for the kind words, most people don't read my long posts. I'll have something I want to do, usually its expensive to pay others to do it for me. So I learn to do it instead.
