Massive earthquake rocks the US!

If I had money to burn, I'd install a big cistern in our back yard. We get plenty of rain it could gather, but the nearest water to our house is in a small polluted stream 8 blocks away. We have bleach to make it potable, if yucky tasting.

Ha! We're lucky, we have a spring right in our basement...

A bucket of it will flush the toilet, however.

We have a cistern. It's not being used at the moment so it's probably pretty gross in there, but I guess it could be made operational again at least for non-drinking purposes.

We have 2 wells on our property too, also not in operation, but installing a hand pump is part of our "get a round tuit" plans.

I volunteer to help LJ take on Walmart.

I think you'll have more trouble with like minded people, than walmart management.
