This is a rain-water collection system.. like the one we are planning to build for our log cabin in Colorado that will be "off the grid". Rain water runs off the roof, through a filter, and into the storage tank, where it goes through another filter before being used inside the house.

Jude in a rare "eyes wide open" pose. In order to get him fully awake, so he can be fed, you have to take his shirt off and cool him down... He went to the Dr. yesterday and we were happy to learn he is actually gaining weight! He's closing in on 7 pounds!
