Rain Barrels



We have been pretty busy the last few days, sorry for the lack of posts. I have been working on some rain barrels. Now we just need to get them situated in places that receive the most rain. We have had one that has worked for us, but we put in a place that really doesn't get that much rain and is not located in a convenient place. I am going to put one next to out little shed and put up some gutters up and put one at the corner of our house at the other rain gutter. Here are some pictures.
The barrel has 2 brass spigots, the top one for the overflow. I put 9 holes into the top in case of anything trying to get into the barrel, the screening would have some support. The screening is just to keep out debris and mosquitoes.
