Rain gauge project


I installed my 6" x 6" hemlock post 6' long into a 2'+  deep hole today and filled the hole with rock. The hemlock has 2 coats of Land Ark Wood Finish.  This is the orange scented "Jesus Juice" that Envinity used on the house.


The plastic rain gauge is held on with 3 screws in the base plate.  The rain collection cylinder can be lifted up out of the base plate for measurements and to empty the gauge.  Now I can tell how much rain we actually get up here on our little mountain.  All it needs to finish it is a beautiful copper top.
