Make Your Own Rain Barrels

13 March 2010 No Comment

JOHNS CREEK, SANDY SPRINGS

Make your own rain barrel.  Then brag about it. 55 gallons of rain?  Yeah, we’ve got it right here, baby. Take home a fully functional rain barrel that you make yourself (don’t worry–it’s easy) made from a recycled 55 gallon barrel.  You’ll be ready to start collecting rain to water your garden or lawn–even in case of water restrictions.
