I looked into a source or two online that sells whiskey barrels/wine casks. They'd be perfect, have the look I desire, and it'd be fairly easy to tap them for a spigot. Only hassle is the shipping. Damn things weigh a ton! :)

Joe, Can you use old whiskey barrels or wine casks Not knowing precisely how a rain barrel is configured this is kind of a long-shot however it seems to me if you could build some kind of a capture system on top either one of these might work for you.? Besides, rain water that tastes like Jack Daniels could be a good thing. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Chanting Monks Sent: Sunday, July 27, 2008 4:06 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] Rain barrel suppliers? Hi Betsy, Moving to Cape Coral/Ft. Myers area, about an hour and a half south of Tampa. My wife just found out the town is very hot on rain barrel usage, apparently, and even offers classes on how to make one's own, but I'd just as soon grab a couple and worry about building 'em when I have time to practice. A leaky rain barrel next to the foundation or running off against the house is the exact opposite of the goal. ;) Best, Joe Monks Every day you haven't written is a day you've written off...
