Here in Brazil, especially in the poorest areas of the NE region, harvesting rain was the way many families found to get out of water shortages and even thirstiness. it is an amazing resource and I'm so glad that you are using it on your home! more people should do it, even if they have full access to secure water supply
I AM CRACKING UP! Hi neighbor, I’m in Encinitas. I literally just put out large plastic bins with open upside down umbrellas that I cut the centers out of on top😂 another large bin that had a hole in the corner balanced at an angle to drip into a bucket. But hey! I did it when we had that storm and filled 2 5 gallon sparklett water bottles, however the wind was INSANE so umbrella didn’t last long. I have not one rain gutter! Think I’ll try installing a few by myself. A few foul pans from the dollar store etc. Using water on my seedlings in my little green house I put in my kitchen. Wish I could post pics because both situations are hilarious. Thanks for being my go to gardening guide!
I like the idea of putting a cistern in the ground. You know, they used to do that in the good old days. However, cisterns that are above ground have the added benefit of using gravity for watering instead of a pump.
I love how enthusiastic you are about the gutters! I just had gutters installed on a little garden shed, which I had been dreaming about for two year. I am so happy, too!!!!
Wow- love that copper!! Here in Oregon, we also use it as anti moss. Helps keep roofs clear and drainage active. Down there I don't imagine that problem. Can't wait to see your collectors!! Coming along very nicely.
How gorgeous! I've never heard of copper gutters before. They're beautiful. They'll keep their beauty when they patina too. So nice you can capture all that water from the rain. Excellent!
Hi Kevin, regular viewer here all the way from the Philippines. I understand your sustainability and longevity goals for choosing copper, and I'm pretty sure you've done your research about this material. Aren't you worried about copper-contaminated runoff and its potential impact on your plants and soil? Read a couple of studies that reveals the negative impacts of copper-contaminated rainwater on plants and soil.
Above ground cistern probably won't require a pumping system. Surround it with a trellis/berry system and it wouldn't be very noticeable. Congrats on everything, looking great!
I love copper! My dad worked the copper mines and I have a piece of copper splash, from him. I think you could consider unique custom end pieces, I've seen amazing ideas on Pinterest. What I am also wondering about is what is the energy around your home going to be like? Copper bracelets are said to help with body pain and energy. I am so happy for you that you are totally loving your home! And you share with us! Many Blessings to you, thank you for loving Gaia and doing your own things to spread the love!
I can't underestimate how much I appreciate you have been captioning your recent videos. It's one of the main reasons that I follow you, as many others either don't bother or don't care.
Awesome setup for water capture! Exciting to see in SoCal where water is a pretty precious resource. When we bought our house over a decade ago I wanted to run all of our gutters into a central collection location. I'm still determined to make it happen! We have an abandoned septic system, it probably hasn't been used in 30 yrs. I was hoping to convert it as I found guidance from residents in the Florida Keys that converted old septic tanks on their property. I think it's a 1200 gallon tank but maybe we'll dig it up and go even bigger!
I have rain barrels on most of my downspouts. The rain barrels all have fish in them to help keep the mosquitos down plus free fertilizer and then the spout for this is 2/3rds down on the barrel to allow the fish to always have some water. There is a drip system setup for all the plants around the barrels. It's a really good system that you really don't need to do much to.
I hadn't thought of capturing water in garbage cans. I have strategically place 5-gallon buckets around my property to catch water. They fill up fast. I don't have gutters at all, but wish I did. That cooper is sweet-looking. 😀👍🌱🌻😍 - Liz
Kevin, the gutters are gorgeous! Try checking out for gutter guards. They are mesh type screens that fit over the gutters to keep leaves and other debris from clogging up your gutters and downspouts. Saves time and water when you don't have to flush out your gutters after big storms. Also, consider mosquito control mesh screens for your water collection vessels. Summer and mosquitos will be coming along in no time.
I think people in the comments are confusing Copper wire with copper piping or drains its a totally different price when it comes to scrapping. Im an electrician and you can get up to almost 3 dollars a pound for stripped copper WIRE! (Depending what the price per pound is at the time) Thieves prob wouldn't waste their time trying to steal these drains. You Wouldn't get no where near as much as you would for wire. Not to mention that shit would be so loud trying to demo lol. But aside from all that. It looks super clean dude! I wanna do this to my house.
I wish I had a gutter system and collection set up for the past week in Chile, when we had record rainfall for summer with floods, could've saved so much water!
The copper looks wonderful & I love your enthusiasm about the water capture for the garden & being more self-sufficient at the epic homestead. Congrats on your efforts Kevin, I get lots of inspiration from your videos for my little patch of earth, thanks heaps!
IGreg the Pond Guy and Aquascape do ecosystem ponds and wildlife conservation, but I think they're also experts at a buried rainwater harvesting system. That would be a cool collab, especially since their specialty is to make it would look natural and beautiful.
Totally worth adding a larger system. I can only do above ground so we have 2 larger (330 square tanks). We built platforms for one and hoping to move the other closer to the garden to use with drip. I will definitely need a pump but its very little cost.
Copper gutters!! Your home is going to look gorgeous!!! Urban homestead= gorgeous as well as highly functional!! Makes total sense to lay out the $ now and have it last.
I'm in Florida and we get a ton of rain. I've been thinking about digging for a 275 gallon tank and place a pump in it. I barely have to water my plants with all the rain. But the tank would help with compost teas mostly
I have 2 330 gallon tanks above water. I collect from my sump pump and then rain and use a pump to then water my garden and yard. Its not enough to water everything all the time in Missouri but at least 30-45% depending on the water rainfall. I had to drag a lot of hoses everywhere to water my lawn but hopefully with the Hoselink I can just get a hose to that system and then either use the city or collected water.
I have plenty of barrels which last me a week or more. But we get enough rain here no matter what size I get it will fill up quickly. 55 gallon barrel just on my porch fills up in 5-10 minutes alone
Hey Kevin, great content! I love to see your excitement about saving water and using it wisely and creating a buzz around the topic in general! I do want to bring something to your attention though. I’m a homeowner of about 5 years who has a similarly sized garden to your lot and I am wondering if you actually need and will be able to utilize 5000 gallons a year for garden irrigation... Drip systems are extremely efficient and I’ve found myself not incurring very much excess water usage costs despite the ‘old tales of warning’. And although I live in a different climate than your San Diego heat, 5000 gallons just sounds like so much water to store and keep clean. I know it must be really hard this early to estimate irrigation usage but I was wondering if there might be any pitfalls of storing TOO much water and having it sit still for extended periods of time. I am imagining you having to treat the water to keep certain un-beneficial living organisms at management and such if there potentially isn’t a constant turnover rate, as well as level of water required to keep a pump effective. What do you think about those possibilities? I know you’re a researcher but cross-talk is important so here’s my 2 pennies! Thanks for your documentation, again!
it's a very good point! I think you'll be pleasantly surprised by what I plan to do though, I'm going to have the system filtered through a natural pond
That's an interesting point! I believe rain water can also be used as non-potable tap water, for flushing toilets for example, or even taking showers with, so that could be an option.
i see a lot have commented already about the possibility of these copper items stolen from your property!! my first thought exactly! what if you go on vacation?! ....
I'm going to set up security for sure! this will also patina relatively quickly due to my proximity to the ocean, so I'm thinking it won't look as attractive pretty soon
I’m so glad you did this - I just had to replace my roof and gutters are next... I had rain barrels on my list to research and your work just supports me pushing forward! Thank you! The new place is looking great!
Looks awesome. Being a home owner and being able to make these decisions like choosing copper over aluminum is what makes it worth it, even if it seems inconsequential to others.
In retrospect you'll be thankful your neighbour got rid of that overhanging tree, that'd just fill your roof and gutters with leaf litter you'd need to clean regularly and be annoying. Another cool addition to the house 😎
Make sure no one comes by and steals it! Lol like they do copper pipes 😅 but it looks really great! Edit: I see everyone and their brother had the same concern 😂 I’m sure you’ve thought of all the pros and cons! 👍🏼
Hi kevin ! this is sooooooo cool ! You do live your dream life and I feel so gratefull that you are sharing it with us ! Solar, and now water harvesting, I totally understand why you are filming at midnight, i could not sleep either hahaha ! coper is so beautifull, I totally agree, you made a cool choice ( hope it won't get stollen ). Buried cistern could be cool if you want to have a big system. Maybe think about having a greehouse before ? Water can act as a thermal balast ( not sure this is written like this in english sorry ) and be very usefull in a walpini system. you could bury a concrete cistern then build this over and optimize your space, but this is just a random idea, not sure you need a greenhouse with your climate. I trust you to speak with people working in this field ! ( especially about the size of the installation : if you can have x gallon a year, you don't need to stock them all, you would use w each day and you need an estimation to have a good fit ) Anyway I wish you the best and will continue to be exited everytime you are talking about your epic project !
I'm a sucker for rain water collection systems. Those copper gutters look amazing, Kevin! Huge fan of it. Please keep us updated on the collection tanks! I don't know if you have a water collection system in place for your mini split system, but they can also condense quite a bit of water from the air during summer.
Good luck and I’m sure the water district appreciates all your conservation efforts. Water 💦 Hopefully they make you a case study for others to follow.
IBC containers are a great choice for several hundred gallons (275gal for ~$100ea). For >1000 gallons one of those huge cisterns/tanks is probably the way to go.
the copper looks amazing. where I live (the Netherlands) they would steal them, they even get the copper from tramlines or anything they can get their hands off as it commands a high price even second hand. I hope yours are safe! looks fabulous
Great planning and design on the gutters. If you allow me to give an opinion regarding the portion of roof where the gutter “dumps” onto the adjacent roof (5:40 min). Although the “drop” from gutter to roof is probably less than 6 inches it would be prudent to ask your roofer to recommend a small “splash pad” that will protect the roof from the dropping and/or falling water.
Aluminum can last a long time. It’s incorrect to assume copper lasts longer. I removed the gutters of my home because old construction of gutters was poorly done. It had to be modernized. So 20 years from now, you might need to update it because your needs change or something else. Your copper installation appears inadequate in case you want to sell your house. You need downspouts that reach the ground. The back splash in a few spots will ruin your wall if you don’t get your rain barrels installed soon.
Check out Rain Brothers diverter. Allows you to put the rain barrels anywhere. Dont have to keep your barrels next to down spout and overflow goes down normal spout.

Here in Brazil, especially in the poorest areas of the NE region, harvesting rain was the way many families found to get out of water shortages and even thirstiness. it is an amazing resource and I'm so glad that you are using it on your home! more people should do it, even if they have full access to secure water supply
Everyone should!
I AM CRACKING UP!
Hi neighbor, I’m in Encinitas.
I literally just put out large plastic bins with open upside down umbrellas that I cut the centers out of on top😂 another large bin that had a hole in the corner balanced at an angle to drip into a bucket. But hey! I did it when we had that storm and filled 2 5 gallon sparklett water bottles, however the wind was INSANE so umbrella didn’t last long. I have not one rain gutter! Think I’ll try installing a few by myself.
A few foul pans from the dollar store etc.
Using water on my seedlings in my little green house I put in my kitchen. Wish I could post pics because both situations are hilarious. Thanks for being my go to gardening guide!

Wow- love that copper!! Here in Oregon, we also use it as anti moss. Helps keep roofs clear and drainage active. Down there I don't imagine that problem. Can't wait to see your collectors!! Coming along very nicely.
Man, that is *so* gorgeous! You are going to enjoy the sight of that copper every day, totally worth the extra money.
How gorgeous! I've never heard of copper gutters before. They're beautiful. They'll keep their beauty when they patina too. So nice you can capture all that water from the rain. Excellent!
Watching that rain go into the gutters was very relaxing. Sometimes I watch my rain barrels fill and it’s so chill.
Same here!
One word for the gutters "gorgeous!"
We plan to add rain collecting barrels, need to watch how you irrigate from barrels and down spots are added
Looks great! I appreciate you telling us the cost of the project too.

Good call on the surround!
Def can’t do copper in my neighborhood. Copper thefts are everywhere
Same. Over here people even stole copper from a railway
yeah there's no way in hell this would work where I live too. It looks gorgeous though and I hope these hang around for a long time to come.
@@danellemalan we can still appreciate his water capture system though :)

Beautiful!! I love copper! Perhaps some pretty copper rain chains to cut down on the splashing? :)
Beautiful, functional, and just so satisfying to look at!

I'm remodeling my grandparent's house and it will get copper gutters. They are beautiful!💕🌱
It looks so good, once it get's green it will give such an interesting effect!
I am so happy for you! Your excitement is palpable! Congratulations Kevin.
Nice...those gutters are beautiful.

Love your enthusiasm for collecting your rainwater. Greetings Shanna
Copper is known to kill pathogens as well! Maybe not alot since the water is moving but its something lol.
For 45 years all we have ever used is rainwater for our gardens. Saves on the well and it is free!
Copper gutters that's pretty cool

You are epic. Just as I was thinking that "is that many rain gallon capture barrels to much for SDCA" you answered it with "I did some calculations."
Sweet! I love copper! Indulge! No need to justify that!
Oh my, now I want copper gutters! Those are fabulous! I have maybe 40 feet of gutters on my house, so it wouldn't be too bad.
Gorgeous gutters! Would love to see a video of the water barrel process and how you're weighing the pros and cons of an underground cistern!!
A creator I watch has copper guttering also. It goes perfectly with his timber deck and cladding.
Great, now I have to save for coper gutters!!!!! They are gorgeous! I need new gutters so badly..
Excellent choice Kevin!! They are beautiful and will last forever!!
This has made me more water conscious. I feel guilty for not saving any water during our two days of heavy rain
I never knew there's chopper gutter! Looks beautiful
I’m so glad you did this - I just had to replace my roof and gutters are next... I had rain barrels on my list to research and your work just supports me pushing forward! Thank you! The new place is looking great!

I work in plumbing wholesale and yes you need to use brass with copper, certain metals will react with copper
I'm a sucker for rain water collection systems. Those copper gutters look amazing, Kevin! Huge fan of it. Please keep us updated on the collection tanks!
I don't know if you have a water collection system in place for your mini split system, but they can also condense quite a bit of water from the air during summer.
That brass looks amazing!
Gutter’s got the drip.
Pay more now, but pay less in the future.
Oh wow, they look beautiful

Good luck and I’m sure the water district appreciates all your conservation efforts. Water 💦 Hopefully they make you a case study for others to follow.

That gutter looks really nice with the tiles.
love your excitement about gutters at midnight! Haha! Looks amazing btw.
ive never seen someone so excited about gutters!
It looks really nice!
Beautiful. I need to get motivated to get my gutters up to capture water.
The copper is just beautiful. Worth the extra cost if you can afford it. 👍
the copper looks amazing. where I live (the Netherlands) they would steal them, they even get the copper from tramlines or anything they can get their hands off as it commands a high price even second hand. I hope yours are safe! looks fabulous
Great planning and design on the gutters. If you allow me to give an opinion regarding the portion of roof where the gutter “dumps” onto the adjacent roof (5:40 min). Although the “drop” from gutter to roof is probably less than 6 inches it would be prudent to ask your roofer to recommend a small “splash pad” that will protect the roof from the dropping and/or falling water.
Idk why I hadn't thought of it sooner, but you should call the epic shed, "The Epic HomeShed"
The copper looks so nice!
Aluminum can last a long time. It’s incorrect to assume copper lasts longer. I removed the gutters of my home because old construction of gutters was poorly done. It had to be modernized. So 20 years from now, you might need to update it because your needs change or something else. Your copper installation appears inadequate in case you want to sell your house.

As mentioned in the video, this is going to rain barrels so length should be fien
Very nice gutters.
beautiful...have a good time in your homestead
That scupper drain absolutely needs a gargoyle.
Check out Rain Brothers diverter. Allows you to put the rain barrels anywhere. Dont have to keep your barrels next to down spout and overflow goes down normal spout.
