So, the adults in our family draw names for $75 presents now. I drew my step-dad, and he would like a rain collection barrel. I checked with Lowes and Home Depot to discover that they're a seasonal item, and run from $100 and up. Ebay has a company that repurposes food-grade barrels that have shipped things like pickles and peppers from overseas, and they admit they may come with a scratch or two (definitlely couldn't care lss about that). They run $50 plus $20 in shipping, so that brings me in close to the $75 figure, after I include the sack of chocolate coal and tube of pistacios - AND it would ship straight to his door. Anyway, is anyone familiar with this or have any advice?
