Friday again

Installing my rain barrel.

Well i got dun installing my $25 rain barrel our region sold us. Built a nice small cedar deck for it to stand on and mounted it up against the side of the house. Sank two of those 3 ft metal 4x4 post holders for the legs to go on. Broke my 4lb hammer handle in the process of knocking the spikes all the way home. Then ran to the shop, knocked out another handle from a scrap of jatoba i had and quickly routed the edges and made it much longer but by the time i was done that handle had cracked too.

Its not the job that takes long its the side trips down different paths to fix the unexpected.

Ran out in the rain this morning to have a look and voila the barrel which holds 200litres is already over flowing.:D

Must say my back and arms are feeling it today.

It will be a light duty day in the shop today.:) Finish up some other projects.
