3. The Outlet System: Installing the Drainage Spigot 🚰

Advertisements

The spigot is your point of access for the collected water. A proper, leak-proof installation is non-negotiable.

📏 1. Determining Spigot Height

Mark the spot for the spigot 2-4 inches from the bottom of the trash can. Placing it too low will allow sediment to be drawn out; placing it higher leaves unusable water in the bottom.

🔧 2. Drilling the Hole

Using a drill bit matched to the size of your spigot's threaded shank (typically 3/4 inch), carefully drill a clean hole at the marked spot. Deburr any rough plastic edges from the hole.

🔩 3. Sealing and Attaching the Spigot

Apply a generous bead of 100% silicone sealant or use rubber washers on both the inside and outside of the hole. Insert the spigot's threaded end from the outside, screw on the retaining nut from the inside, and tighten firmly with a wrench. Allow the sealant to cure completely (check product instructions) before filling with water.

My Husband Took A Trip With Another Woman.

Finding out my husband took a secret trip with his mistress shattered me. It felt like the ground had been pulled from beneath my feet, and I was drowning in betrayal. I couldn’t believe he had been lying so easily, while planning a romantic getaway with another woman. It wasn’t just the affair — it was the audacity of it all. Fueled by heartbreak and rage, I did the only thing that made sense in the moment — I canceled his credit cards. If he thought he could cheat without consequences, he was wrong. I was done playing the victim. The consequences were coming, and I was the one delivering them.
