The Process of Installing Rain Barrels

We thought it would be interesting to chronicle the process of installing about 3-4 rain barrels at Unity Urban Community Garden. Donna, a neighbor that lives directly adjacent to the garden has agreed to allow us to use a part of her property to gather rain, which is at the back of her yard where her garage is. Right now we're trying to create the best way get the rain into the rain barrels. This means we'll have to build some sort of attachment to her existing gutter that will lead to the rain barrels. First though, we had to clean Donna's gutter and reshape a pretty beaten up gutter as you'll see below. Here are a few pics and be on the lookout for more as we continue this process.
