    The caps in the top that unscrew for cleaning out are threaded would spicket not screw into where the cap was installed?

    Very clever, thanks for the video!
    I'm putting one of these on a flat roof to let some squash go wild up there, out of the way. My barrel had german ginger ale concentrate in it, smells delicious. :)

    Thanks for the smile @ 7:33 😊 I was going to say you are wrapping the thread tape the wrong way. It is interesting watching young people doing the same things I did 40 years ago. Well done guys. Happy New Year. Best wishes Bob.

    Super helpful! Great video. We don't have water in the barn and we are starting to winterize. I've been trying to figure out the best option to keep water over there because the hose we run to the barn is going to freeze. We've got 2 drums lying around and now I feel confident about using them!

    Question do I need a vent for the top of my 56 gallon barrel? I'm going to use it to refill my dog's water but I'll just fill with a water hose when needed.

    Great information. Im now thinking about putting one on my duck pool now just for easier cleanings.

    • @OurOrganicLife
      @OurOrganicLife  6 років тому

      I've heard ducks can be really messy so I'm sure it would be a huge help!

    Awesome I love that bulkhead fitting that looks nice. We can score those barrels for about $5 a piece at a local canning facility. Using them for waterer is a great idea.👍

    • @OurOrganicLife
      @OurOrganicLife  6 років тому +1

      Ooooo I wonder if I could find a canning facility near us!

    • @ourselfreliantlife
      @ourselfreliantlife 6 років тому +1

      @@OurOrganicLife or a bottler. I used to work for Coca-Cola and a lot of times they give them away for free. Especially if it's for water purposes.

    Timing is everything. Of course after I rock out Heather's Honey Do List and before we plant our orchard in May I am going to have to come up with a solution for watering the trees because we do not have a well yet. We were maybe thinking of pumping from the pond but I worry about it getting clogged so I was thinking of some type of collecting rain water system. You got me thinking.
    You guys do a great job. You communicated well. We look forward to seeing more videos.~Kevin

    Nice score for $7! Those are hard to find for that cheap, especially ones that didn't hold something caustic etc in them. Great job on the project!

    Where did you get the drums? I've been looking. In Florida big bend area.

    • @OurOrganicLife
      @OurOrganicLife  6 років тому +1

      We got these drums from a dairy farm, they originally housed iodine teat dip they aren't for us to drink, but they are recyclable and we thoroughly cleaned them out numerous times before using them. :) Look in craigslist too, we got ours near yeehaw junction area west of Vero Beach.

    Hey, the music is a bit too loud making it hard to hear, although I do really appreciate you making the video!
