Long story short: I met Andy and his wife when they came to look at rain barrels. We got to talking and he had a large rain barrel at the family farm that he wondered about the possibility of restoring it to a working rain barrel.
Hey!
I love antiques. I love interesting challenges and this sounded like something fun to help them with.
Take a look at this Rain Barrel! Homemade? Andy has had this in his family for generations. He borrowed my trailer and brought it over, we looked at it and, by golly, it looked to be in pretty good shape.
The wood was dry, but solid (oak, of course!) and we figure it will need minor work before we start to soak up that wood for holding water. We cleaned out the dirt and debris that it collected over the years and rolled it into the barn where it will rest until spring, when we start our work.
We'll keep you posted.
