Whiskey Barrel DIY Water Butt Build

Turning a whiskey barrel into a garden sink and water butt. Adding a tap to empty the water and sink so i can wash my hands before going back into the house. Using a old cast iron water pump, tin bowl and copper tap to make a garden water butt.

Like it...a lot. What type of soap are you using?

[@TheCountryCottageGardener]

Thanks. The soap is a a bacterial type made by a company called Fusion. I get it from my fixings supplier (it's just decanted into a old bottle)
