I got a 55 gallon steel drum at North Shore Scrap Metal a couple of days ago for use as a burn barrel.

After doing a little research and with a few DIY modifications I burned the brush in the yard pretty darn efficiently.

Before you attempt any of the you should consult the city website and Fire Station to be sure you pull a permit and are burning on a day the City allows burning.

First drilled holes using a half inch drill bit about 4-6 inches from the bottom of the barrel and about ten inches apart.

Then go up about six inches and over three and make more holes going around the barrel.

Also drill some holes in the bottom so water can escape and the burn barrel won’t rust out as quickly.

Next use a sawzall or jigsaw to cut the Barrel from hole to hole diagonally.

Next stick a hammer pulling end into the slot and pull it so there’s an opening for air to stoke your fire.

Prop your barrel up on bricks, make sure you are far from structures and keep a hose close by, wet down the surrounding area and start a small fire.

Rockport School System goes Solar!

Rockport Public Schools is proud to announce that sufficient funds have now been raised to install a pole mounted solar array system at the site of their new greenhouse, wellness and sustainability center on the school’s campus. The solar project will also include an internet based monitoring software system which will allow students in their classrooms to visually see on a daily basis the benefits of using solar energy not only financially but in the future preservation of our previous environment.

“ I am so pleased to be able to spearhead this project. The students all hear and see solar systems going on homes and businesses. Now we will be able to teach then about the concept of solar and how it is good for us today and in the future” – Rob Liebow – Superintendent of Rockport Public Schools

“ We are grateful to work with Mr. Liebow and the Rockport Public Schools on this special project. We will continue to work with the staff and students to give seminars on the benefits of solar. Mr. Liebow initiative should be commended as he is bringing the teachings of new emerging technologies to the students of Rockport.  What fun we will have working with the students”. – Tim Sanborn, owner of Cazeault Solar and Home.
