The first steps:
1. figuring out where to put them
2. figuring out how many I would need
3. finding clean, food grade barrels for a reasonable cost
4. getting them delivered
The 275 gallon tanks ($125 each) will eventually have some sort of fencing in front of them -- probably bamboo - and shade cloth over the top to prevent growth inside the tanks. Water from the roof will run through PVC along the fence into the tanks.
The smaller 55-gallon tanks ($20 each) will be set close to the house
on blocks with a single access point either from a rain chain or downspout.
(I am not necessarily going to use these exact plans - I will post what I use)
