Frugal and Energy Efficient Living

I did notice my rinse water was somewhat dirty itself but I could cut down on that by using my coveralls when doing outside work.

Your idea would save on hauling that water upstairs from the basement as I'd just be transferring water from the storage container right next to the washing machine to the washer when I do laundry.

I certainly need to replace my older 3.5 gallon per flush toilet with a newer model but I'd have to save for a few months to do that.
