Rain Barrel Project: holding but not finished

From 6/23 - 6/28 we received 6 - 8" of rain. The downspouts, barrels and overflow worked as designed. I did notice some water dripping from behind the gutters at several places which will probably involve a call to JA who just installed them.

Tasks remaining:

  • Seal the overflow port
  • Install fence boards (already purchased)
  • Install some 4x4 timber to retain gravel
  • Finish and install the filter/screen bucket
  • Cover each barrel tightly with mosquito proof screen and secure w/ bungee chord
