Robert E. Harvey from Forest, VA wanted to know if I could make him a water barrel to replace his “60 year old concrete water collection box which is now leaking.” Here is an image of the new spring water barrel and the natural spring with Robert’s words:

Here’s the rain barrel that has replaced the 60+ year old water box at the farm. I still have to replace some of the old iron pipe, but it is functioning quite nicely.

Here’s a photo of the spring. It’s on a hillside about 3/4 of a mile away from the farm house and the water is gravity fed.

Robert would also like a replacement top for the springs collection chamber, he is currently using a tin that blows off. Making a nice concrete top with a handle would work to keep the the top on, the critters and debris out. Thanks for the great pictures, fun project! -Aaron
