So if I set up the rain barrels under a gutter spout on the chicken coop, I can collect roof rain water. I was wondering, as a kid we all used actual wood coated with thick wax barrels, but nowadays they've got the plastic. One thing I noticed, when water is in plastic, it slimes up faster.
Would you add fish to a particular type of barrel? Also, what do you feed the fish? I mentioned this to DH & he shook his head...said I'm not a good candidate for that, he says I start out all logical & talking about efficiency & function, but in time my attachment grows, so all I'm doing is adding another "pet" to my menagerie to care for & worry about.
He may have a point, there, I used to have tropical fish tanks growing up, also turtles, newts, frogs...Do I get a bit carried away? Maybe.
. When we moved in, we gutted it, added a wall to separate (after removing a few unopened random pantry items that had fallen behind the old fridge) put in more solid shelves for much better pantry storage. Definitely better. It’s not quite deep enough for the fridge, but we might adjust that at a different time -such as when we decide to re-do the kitchen.
I thought us women were supposed to have all the clothes. 
So then where do cups, glasses, dishes, bowls & coffee mugs go without upper cabinets? On those ugly, bare, rickety shelves? So your plates & glasses are on display now, instead of being used? I just shake my head when I see stupid designs getting worse.
