At the allotment I’ve moved the water butt so it can catch rain off the shed roof, rather than not catching rain off the greenhouse’s broken roof.
The butt is quite old, the plastic has faded in the sunlight and the tap leaks. The first job was attaching guttering to the shed.
As it’s metal and about two millimetres thick I used rivets and they seem to hold it well enough.
I managed to build a little platform out of a paving slab and some highly dubious wood that isn’t entirely rotten. It’s straight enough…
Next door’s chickens were assessing the quality of the workmanship. There was some suspicious clucking but I think it passed.
Finally I had to glue the tap in to stop it leaking. I used some cheap pound shop epoxy, it should be good enough.
Now I just need it to rain!
