Well, while I couldn't care much less about the elegance of the installation, my kids are still young and I'd like to find someone to buy my house when I'm ready to move into a smaller space. Also, as I've mentioned several times, I would like to help others with solutions like solar hot water. And frankly, I live in the U.S. where things are supposed to be both sexy and puritanical simultaneously. A big metal trash can is neither. Furthermore, I would like to continue living in the house with my wife once its all said and done. I'm pretty sure that my wife would be just a bit leary of our drinking water getting anywhere near a trash can.
