In my earlier shpiel about the water situation, I mentioned that rain barrels haven't entered play over the course of the past few years of worsening conditions. And, I'm gladly mistaken. Local news reports that some fellow over in Clayton County is making rain barrels (55-gal. variety) out of converted food drums. At least some folks still know what they're doing around here (even if they're a bit late).
These definitely beat hanging off the porch during a thunderstorm with a gallon jug and a funnel. |
