And we're happy you can post pictures too. I think I am going to have to check out that picture site and do some posting of my own!

BTW - The rainbarrel is kinda cute sitting in that corner all by its lonesome, just sitting there and waiting for rain.

Guess what, guess what Vanessa!!! :bounce: I bought a rain barrel for DH for Christmas! He'd been eyeing them all summer, so I ordered one! My friends are keeping it at their house right now, so DH won't see it.

Now, how do I wrap the darn thing? ;) :)

Maybe I should wrap myself and jump out of it! Just like those giant birthday cakes! ;) :) :)

Now that would be a surprise! I have lots of comments but they aren't appropriate at all for this board.;)

Now...you just need rain...We didnt get much last year at all! Mine is safely tucked in my shed for the winter. Do you have a good downspout to stick it under?

LOL!!! KIM you WILD thing you! So creative too... it's not good enough to pop out of a cake... oh no.... you come up with a RAIN BARREL instead! LOL! :tongue:

[Snowwark]

ROTFLOL! Vanessa!!! :teeth: You are a nut nut!! :)

With my luck, I'd jump out, give poor DH a heart attack, the barrel would tip over, and I'd go rolling down the stairs with it.............:p

I'd better think of a Plan B! :) ;)

Too funny Vanessa...:) :)

How far are you from Niagra Falls?
You would be all ready to go for a ride!

OMG! I just found this thread! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

I am humming....

Roll out the barrel!

We'll have a barrel of fun!!!!!

Roll out the barrel!!

Why the heck does it weigh a ton???

[Snowwark]

About 40 miles WMA, but that's a bad idea. All the mist at the Falls plays havoc with my hair! :p

Weigh a ton Gina? :P I'll have you know I just did a dry run. No problem getting in or out of the barrel, if I use a little step stool.

My friend Peter (of Stinky Tree fame), brought it over yesterday, and I've put it in the spare room. I made a sign and posted it on the door, as a warning to DH. It reads:

Open this door, and I will have to kill you!

.....too subtle?


This is going to be great!!!! :bounce:

Amid Chaos - where did you find the rain barrel. I looked for one for DH at a few local shops and they didn't carry them. I appreciate any assistance you can provide. Annmarie

[Tulirose]

Snowwark!!! What did hubby think about his rainbarrel??? Did you do the "pop out of the cake" routine with it???

[Snowwark]

Hi BCVOwner! :) I don't know where Amid got her rain barrel from, but I bought mine at Lee Valley Tools (in Canada of course, :)). Here's a link (in US dollars) for you.

Tulirose, unfortunately Mother Nature played havoc with my rain barrel surprise. :( It was a washout, or rather, a whiteout. Christmas morning we woke to find that a snowstorm was well underway. We had to hurry through our gift opening so that DH could shovel the driveway (the snowblower was at the shop :rolleyes: ), then go shovel my parent's driveway.

I told him about my plan (in my best sad little face..lol), which he found somewhat amusing. :) He was very pleased with the rain barrel however. :)

We need a new wheelbarrow this spring, maybe I can plan something special around that. Hmmm.....:)
