Step 8Get Your Mind Out of the Gutter! Part 2
With your barrel modified to accept the tubing, the last step is to attach the tubing to your downspout and start collecting free water from the sky!
Using two small screws I found in a junk drawer of my workbench organizer (hint: they're mostly ALL junk drawers), I attached one end of the tubing to the downspout. I then stretched out the tubing to a length of about 6.5 feet and placed the other end into my newly cut hole.
After one night of solid rain where 1/2 inch of water fell on my tiny town, I was able to collect 55 gallons of water!
