It's so hard to blog sometimes. This is the time of year when I want to get so many outside jobs out of the way so I can sit back and enjoy my summer. I wish I was done half my to do list but things have slid by the way side while my husband has been off for the last week. He quit his job and has three weeks off and while he's been helpful he's also a distraction. I'm used to doing things a certain way and I have a routine I like to follow. That's what happens when you're used to being home. Anyway, one project is nearly done. The rain barrels that were supposed to have been finished a few weeks ago are almost completely operational thanks to my hubby.
The Home Depot drain and eaves trough
Hung on the shed
With the accordian attachment that gives us some room to direct water where we want
Barrel number one, aka garbage can with valve from Princess Auto
Nice and deep
Barrel number two with the only valve style Princess Auto had left
The lid of barrel number two with the cheapest nylon screen Home Depot had
Unfortunately, barrel number two has a hole in it that will have to be patched. Hubby will be using blue skin and Goop to fix the hole. With the rain we had on Friday we have a nearly full barrel number one. That's pretty good considering I only have eaves trough on one side of a small garden shed.
Now if I could just get to cleaning those darn windows!
