Barrels everywhere!

It's been a while since I posted here.
Sorry for the lag, but I've been trying to get my supply of barrels for the coming season.
It proved challenging, but they're here. And there's a lot of 'em.
Supply is good folks! Is it ever!
Holy cow....
The spring and summer look promising for gardeners and outdoors people.
Remember to check the website for tips and tricks on maintaining your barrels.

Now I have to go back to making barrels...see ya soon!

Rob's Rain Barrels Update

Hi:

Well, made it through Christmas and New Years unscathed.The website is almost ready to go, with some changes and updates being added daily.We're preparing for our first home show at the end of Feb.The product line is expanding as I write this, adding new barrel designs and products weekly.

I'm drinking a lot of coffee as well.
Just thought I would throw that one in...

Anyway, maybe soon someone will read this and post a reply. Or not...
Either way, we're full steam ahead on the rain barrel business.
Stay close for more...
Cheers, Rob

How green is your valley?

HI:
Inaugural post here.
I'm new to this blogging thing, so be gentle...

I wanted to meet others and discuss ideas of environmentally friendly things we can do to reduce our reliance on non-renewable resources. What a mouthful...
In short, ways we can reduce our carbon footprint in our own backyards, basements, work spaces and the like.
I know where I live we have waste diversion in place by the municipality (green bins, blue bins).
I don't want to sound the alarm here, but I can see the effects of climate change in my own backyard.
I manufacture rain barrels for residential use to harvest rain water for gardening and outdoor water uses. (no, you are not supposed to drink it, so put down the glass.)

Anyone who wants to chine in on this subject, please feel free.
Maybe we can effect some change right here.
Thanks for reading.
