PSA: My rainwater barrel idea flooded the backyard

I wanted to save water for my plants, so I got some big barrels. But I didn't put a good drain in, and after last night's rain, my whole yard is soaked. The kids are having a blast splashing around, but I need to fix this before it ruins the grass. Any neighbors know a good way to set up rain barrels without causing a mess?

Honestly, after making stuff for ages, I'm sure hunting for the 'perfect' tool just wastes your creative juice.

I pushed the stick in without checking the slot properly and bent some pins. The motherboard was ruined and I had to replace it on my dime. Always line up the notches slowly now.

Any tips for using journaling during stressful times?

Backyard project has me stuck with a heavy load

I'm turning my shed into a workshop and need to move an old anvil that's really heavy. The path is gravel and has a slight slope, so lifting it isn't an option. Do any of you have advice for sliding big weights safely without machines? I work with wires all day, so this kind of thing is new to me.
