Rain Barrel Irrigation

Rain Barrel + Overflow

There was no irrigation to speak of on our property. And both me and my wife liked the idea of harvesting rain water for irrigation. It's free water that you can use without restriction and it's great for watering plants. So, nearly a year after we got our first rain barrel, we now have our front yard watered automatically by rain barrels. Here's how we did it.

Upgrading Our Shed For Conditioned Storage

Shed Exterior

Our 1920s bungalow has always been a little lacking in storage. But we’ve taken some big steps to change that by upgrading our shed to be on-site conditioned storage.

Why conditioned storage? We live in Florida where the humidity is over 90% most of the year and our proximity to the water makes the air both muggy and salty - not great attributes for storing things that you care about.
