An aside is when a character says something out loud in the attempt of conveying his or her thoughts to the audience, with the supposition that other characters can not hear it.

Use a Pump for your Rain Barrel! The best way to accomplish what you want may be by not using a valve at all! Consider using a small pump placed on your rain barrel outlet hose. Most irrigation systems do not work very efficiently at the low water pressures typical of rain barrel systems.
Reattach the barrel's overflow hose when a storm is predicted so the barrel won't overflow into the home's foundation. Disconnect the rain barrel from the gutter downspout if it won't be in use during the winter months. Attach an extender to the downspout to divert water away from the home's foundation. Flip the rain barrel over away from the house's foundation and completely empty it. Store the rain barrel and accessories in a garage or garden shed if space is available. If not, place it upside down in a sheltered area of the yard.
