A few weeks back we installed our second rain barrel. The first one we've had for a couple years behind the house, but because we now have a veggie garden in the front, we needed one around there too. One good rain fills each barrel. We put this new one up on 3 layers of blocks so we would have gravity to help us out, then attached a curly garden hose. So far it's working great!
The first picture above shows the view as you are walking down the sidewalk that goes to our front porch. You can barely see the rain barrel from this angle. It *was* completely hidden at first...but we had a little (ahem) accident when it filled up the first time, tipped over, and took out a huge bit of one of the burning bushes. But it will grow back.
The second picture is taken from the sidewalk, right in front of the rain barrel.
