I'm working on the following projects around the home:
Brewery
My brewing equipment is spread all over the place. I need to clean out my GarageOffice (pronounced Garagafis) and get things back together. My target is to brew on or before September 1.
I want to pick up the following equipment.
Ferminator - 14 Gallon - 1-3 weeks delivery - http://www.northernbrewer.com/ferm-std.html $584.99
The Ferminator is the high priority, although I would love to throw down for the Therminator as well. I'm completely over the fun of moving beer and cleaning, always cleaning. I've been looking at buying a fermentor for quite some time now. The chiller is is awesome and I'll get it eventually. I'll need to borrow a chiller though since I blew mine up.
Fountain/Pond
I want to replace my current pond (which is a rain barrel in a baby pool) with something a little more elegant. I purchased the following from Amazon.
I think between me and my brilliant friends, we should be able to come up with a water fall that's at least as effective as the current rain barrel with holes drilled in the top.
Rain water capture
This is a little tougher. I'm still in the design phase. My two fountains and the new pool can hold about 250 gallons of rainwater, so I guess my best bet is to just plumb from my eaves to my pond. Sounds like a job for my friend Kip (Journey man plumber and scotch drinker extraordinaire)
