Handy Devices

Barrel Replacement:

When replacing a frost-proof hydrant, Joseph Barnett, Rockville, Indiana, buries a 35-gallon drum, both ends removed, around the new hydrant. He fills the inside of the drum with white rock, the size used in driveways. The rock provides drainage for water and makes replacement of the hydrant a simpler task in the future.
