Rain Barrel (Extended)

We were going through the original rain barrel so quickly, that we wanted to extend it, so we bought a $40 "Brute" trash can cut a hole in the top, lined it with a screen and made an overflow spout with a hose attached on the side near the top. A short hose takes the overflow from the original barrel to the new "rain can". With the rain we had last night, we filled both. I think we got a little over 1/2 inch of rain...
