Because I live on a small homestead, I understand the value of reusing things. It is the way we roll. I have 30 or so blue 55-gallon drums in my pole barn that are just sitting there. I was originally going to use them for rain storage but I do not need 30 rain barrels around my property.
Check out these awesome, fun projects that turn regular boring 55-gallon drums into awe-inspiring feats of your imagination. One of my favorites is the DIY beehive. I have wanted bees for so long but never really had the money to buy a hive. Now I can make one.
