Already in the planning process! I already have 4 or 5 blue barrels-my DH gets them from work. They look really easy to make. We have used cut in half barrels from large planters(great for patio tomatoes with basil), a place for ducks to take a dip, and feeders for pigs! We also use them to store grain in-keeps the mice out.
I can see some from my office window. The one in the chicken yard is upside down because the duck may like it but I'm not hauling that much water every day!!
