My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

windshield washer rain barrels safe ?

17 years ago

I've got access to some 45 gal barrels previously used for storing windshield washer fluid. If properly rinsed out, am I ok to use them for rainwater collection and watering a veggie garden ? I'm guessing yes but want to make sure...
