Should I use this for water storage?

Tom,
Do you have any pictures of the barn build process yet? I'd like to see them. LOL...I figure there's a real good chance my barn will end up looking exactly like yours... (since you gave me your plans)

Rod,

I'll take pictures of the progress and post on my barn pics thread here. The estimates from contractors were way too much for a barn. For some reason, they think that we are millionaires from the city with a unlimited budget. The building boom in the area is keeping them busy with no shortage of work. So, they are charing a premium to build anything right now. So, I decided to build it myself. It will be slow but I know it will be done right. I'm making a few changes to the plan. Add a balcony and separate entrance to the 2nd story with potential to convert into an apartment or guest quarter later.

um.....550 gallons of water weighs about 5500 lbs. I hope u don't have a half ton pu. I think a one ton pu would be needed for one container.. I once put a pallet of used railroad ties on a half ton GMC. It layed that thing down but it was a rental and it made it 12 miles...Hair loosing day.......that was....

I now see some guys did a better job of calculating then I did previous to my post. Still the point is your truck will prob only be able to haul one at a time and u may not be able to fill it all the way.....

I have several barrel that were used to hold orange drink. I have never been able to get the orange smell out. Water is fine to drink but does have a slight orange smell.
