First of all, let me begin by saying that we have had success with the new litter box. According to the Security Tapes (which is what I’m calling the laptop video) and physical evidence, they have been using it five times as often as the old box. No messes on the floor so far, which is a good thing. Y’know, other than this very, very wrong thing – there’s nothing wrong with them.
Ok, back to a real post. I’ve been toying around with the idea of a rain barrel for home. We have one at school, and it’s pretty cool. It has a screen so bugs and junk can’t get in, a spigot to get the water out for your plants, and it’s super-strong so that it doesn’t burst in the winter.
Before spending all that money, I thought it would be a good idea to prototype one. Then I got really lazy, so I just put a tub under the downspout. After a night’s rain, it was full! This water lasted a week, and I used it for the few plants that I water. If it weren’t going to be mosquito season soon, I’d just go with it.
Free water! Cheap girl approves.
