One Day at Faith Homecoming
I will have Raw Honey for sale from my hives on the Eastside of Des Moines.
We will have a limited number of 2 and 3 lb jars. Most in 12oz and 16 oz.
Come see some of my rain barrels.
Feel free to ask me about my barrels and bees.
The Fall Harvest Festival is designed to bring the community together in a fun and festive environment. We are calling on alumni, church groups, student organizations, and community members to get involved by setting up a booth. Whether you want to sell products, share information, run a game, or just join in the fun, there’s a place for you.
There will be a Homecoming parade which is always a highlight, and this year Faith is expanding it to be bigger and better than ever before. This is a wonderful opportunity to show your spirit, connect with others, and be part of a cherished tradition.
Faith Address:
1900 NW Fourth St.

We started building rain barrels back in 2012 as a home project.
Now we custom build and install rain barrels for your home.
A lot has changed in the twelve years.
All the parts are replaceable - so if something breaks, we just replace the part.
I grew up on a farm, so I learned about hard work and doing your best.

It would be a privilege to custom build and install rain barrels for your home.

FAQ:
How much rainwater can I collect from my roof?
Take the Square Foot (SF) and multiply that by .623. The SF is length times width. Formula would be Length x Width X .623 = Gallons of water. 250SF would be 25x10x.623=155.75gallon
Where should I place my rain barrels?
I would recommend put them close to where you will use the rain water, but make sure the water level is higher than where you will be watering or invest in a pump. We catch rain from about 500 SF of the roof from two of downspouts.
How much does 55 gallons of water weigh?
About 459 pounds plus the weigh of the barrel and cinder blocks so about 500 pounds per barrel.
What do you use for a stand?
We use 8x8x16 cinder blocks and four to each rain barrel.
How does the diverter work?
See diagram and video below. There is an easy access door that allows you to clean out the diverter.
We recommend keeping the gutters and downspout clear of debris.
