Rain Barrels, Decks, and Rails....

in homesteading •  7 years ago 

Today on Homestead Homebodies it's time to set up our rain barrels for gardening season.
We start by removing a length of downspout, and leveling out the gravel base. We place some lumber, set the first barrel on it and install the connector. This is followed up with more lumber and the second barrel. We also attach an over flow hose that will steer water into an underground drain we installed.

Here you can see how the barrels are attached and here is the overflow hose.

Next we screw on the lids, attach an angle to the downspout and were all set for watering the garden this summer!

We also hooked up the garden hose and picked up our daily but dwindling supply of eggs.
We stained the rails for the front deck, stained the rear deck and removed the old, rotted rails from the from deck.

With all of this weeks chores completed, it's time to play with Candy who has been waiting patiently with the ball in her mouth.

Welcome brother ☺

If you have a lot of work and until now everything looks great, I always say nothing better than doing things for yourself.

I laughed a lot about Candy with her ball in her mouth to play so cute I missed seeing her

Candy tries to make sure she is in every video!

Candy is very patient and knows how to wait for you to finish your work that has been a lot on the farm.

Do a great job send greetings to @anise and Candy I hope you have a lot of fun I'm glad to see her @brimax

Many thanks

It is always busy on the homestead! Looking good and getting everything ready for summer. Have a great day!

We certainly will, and thank you kindly!

Hello brother @brimax how are you ?. Fantastic indeed that you always manage on your farm to develop and build things that are very useful in the short and long term, what you did seems great to me, besides that the best thing is that with this construction everything is ready to water the garden this summer, practically something that was built for winter, they rebuilt it to take advantage of it in the summer and I like that. You always show us some incredible ideas, brother, that are very useful and practical. I assure you that if I ever visit a farm that is as wonderful as yours, I will give many ideas that you have shown us. Thank you for the teachings that show us in each publication, your farm is pure intelligence of yours. regards

You are very welcome Brother, and thanks for you support!

Very interesting the work done by you friend in your house @brimax

Thank you
