Found an interesting chart on water usage. It looks good for quick amounts on common usage items. http://www.wssc.dst.md.us/service/waterusagechart.cfm Over the summer I installed a bucket system that holds approximately 4 gallons. By turning on the hot water and filling the bucket up about 3/4 full, I'm able to get a decent shower with lower water usage. I still need to get better pressure from it, so I'm looking into that aspect, but if I sit in the tub, the pressure is just fine.

I'm still in need of parts for the VAWT, should be able to scam, er, locate the parts soon. Mostly I'm in need of sheet aluminum for the blades. There's a few people I know putting up some siding, so mayhap I can swipe, er, negotiate about 6 linear feet. I'll see...
