We made a rain barrel! I've been trying to find a reasonably priced & useful featured rain barrel, and got tired of expensive prices. We had an trash can which we don't use anymore, so why not, I bought some parts from Lowes and John helped me to assemble it.
Ok, I might need to trim the mosquito net little bit more, but hey, doesn't it look good? It wasn't so hard to make it.
Spigot on the bottom. This metal parts was the most expensive, but still like $5 or so. I bought some O-rings and rubber rings, $2 the most. I was not sure if any of them would work, but we left the container full of water but it's not leaking so I guess it's working!
Inside view of water going out parts. Doesn't it look good? I'm so proud! I can't wait to set this on our garden, then I will be so happy for rainy days :-)
Awesome! I look forward to seeing it work.
