Remember the old commercials with the clowns climbing out of a VW.

Actually... they are great kids and they put up with a lot of crap from mine. Both of my kids just really love them.

I'm new... I don't get it.

I was just kidding though... I wasn't really drunk. (Just a little) It was my first one and I thought that If i drilled thru both sides in one shot... that it would actually be better. Not so much! Maybe with a drill press but not with my Ryobi.

Do you think they'll work good? Once I get the water flowing... I can just drill a little hole in the cap if I want them to flow better... right?

You're in the wrong thread to be talking about drinking...you should be on Jonathan's thread.

I can't remember off-hand if they are designed to have a hole in th etop, but probably so. The question is, how much noise will that generate? I am a little skeptical of the design just for the clogging issue, but so far I haven't heard of anyone having them do so. Easy to change out and experiment with anyway, so don't sweat it.

very nice... can't wait to see a finished product. I need to learn more about plumbing myself so I can do that when I move. Better flow, better filtration!

Don't spread rumors Barry, you're the only one that drinks over there.

I think you might be right... When I fill it over the holidays, I will have the necessary equipment ready. (drill, tubing & rum)
