Mike is right! Thanks for the correction!Back when I was working at Boeing I specialized in wing structures. As you all know (or do now), the interior of a jet’s wing is used as a fuel cell and, it was there that I became familiar with the rule of thumb that led to 7.5 lbs/gallon. You see, fuel is lighter than water … hence, oil slicks and gas that sits atop water. I believe the actual weight is less than 7.5 lb/gallon but, as I said, it was a rule of thumb.Anyhow, I’ve used 7.5 lbs/gallon as my go-to weight for water for years … most often when determining how much weigth I’d have in my pack. Now that’s where I feel bad about making the mistake!As for the water barrel weight capacity … it’s almost laughably strong. Considering two adult (US) men would weigh about as much as a full water barrel … and you’d have a hard time piling enough men on that platform to cause problems … we’re probably pretty safe. Safer than having a pile of men laying around, at least.But, I do appreciate the information, Mike!

Hello, I'm the author of a new book, Our Appliances: Home Improvement Repair, which I thought would be of interest to your blogging community. It's a satire of life in suburbia as told through a discussion of the family's appliances (suburban Connecticut). Anyhow, I have some unique perspectives that may be of interest. Thank you, xavier a cronin

Thanks for the info. I wasn't aware that the warmer water in the barrel makes for better gardening. This would be perfect for my town since they do limit the amount of water available to water lawns and gardens.

I've missed your blog! I finally remembered to add it to my blogroll so I can follow your posts again. I look forward to catching up.
I was blessed by this line: Shawn pours out love like an overflowing rain barrel, and that I am soaking wet.
That's how my heart longs to be: absolutely overflowing with Jesus's love and splashing it all over everyone. I just wish I could let Him work in me that way every day.

No. He did not know about the process of photosynthesis. He did not figure in the carbon dioxide into the equation. The water supplied the H+ ions to run the process but the Oxygen was given off as a waste product.

The bottom line seems to be this. If someone is deprived of clean water, he or she expiriences lack of fruition of the right to water. And, given that clean water is “produced” by policy, then extant policies are in violation of rights and should be reformed. The argument is the same for all consumption that is covered by ESCRs. Thus if someone is deprived of health care, health policy is in violation of the right to health, and so on. The question then becomes: which policies would better promote the equitable fruition of the right to water, health, etc.

Thank you for your query! The rain barrels are not weather treated, chemicals would have contaminated wine previously held in the barrels. There is no treatment for the rain barrel as this would also contaminate rain water! It would not be necessary to take your rain barrel indoors during winter or inclement weather. Covering your barrel with a tarp or something similar would provide some protection. All oak barrels can be custom made! Feel free to ask us about special orders!

Last night the city planner said that the cities water supply is big enough to supply 12000 people within the city. So why is the cities comp plan “planning for a population of over 25000″? Are you feeling thirsty?, I am. The city only has water rights for so much out of the Molalla river, and it is the only supply. Who will take the last drink of water? Where are you planning to get the additional supply?
