I found out that in my new area there is no such thing as a shallow well so it's back to plan "B". I can get plenty of blue barrels locally and my house and shop have metal roofs. I'm going to build a bank of barrels but I need to link the barrels together near the bottom.
Has anyone found any "bulkhead fittings" that will fit through the threaded holes on the solid top drums? If I can fish the nut through the bung hole (proper name for a hole in a drum) I can use PVC to link them - I just gotta find the fittings that will go through the hole in the barrel and I'm trying to avoid re-inventing the wheel. I know there's been a bunch of people before me trying to do the same thing.
Also, some of the barrels I've seen advertized were used for some kind of glycerine. Any ideas on how hard it would be to clean them out? I passed on the ones that had shampoo and hair conditioner....
Thanks for any info!
