Squirrels like to dig in pots of dirt. Guess they think they are burying a stash of nuts.
We had lovely rain the past few days in TX. Today I went out to turn the spigot off on my 55 gallon rainwater collection barrel. When I turned the spigot off, water started spurting out all around where it goes into the bottom of the barel.
I would like to kick the fool who must’ve done a lousey job installing that spigot..Oh, except I’m the fool who installed the spigot. I am trying to I am guessing the rubber gaskets rotted..or I should’ve used plumbing putty..
It’s not ever leaked in the four or five years since I made it out of a 55 gallon food grade drum..Guess, I shoul’ve checked it from time to time.
I see i’ve lost all my rainwater, and the barrel is empty. Sigh.
