Reporting from Vancouver today with something I’ve never seen before – a 5 gallon bucket parabolic microphone!
I stared awestruck at this proud recording equipment today, cursing myself for not bringing a camera. This would have been the first bucket parabolic microphone on the internet.
A parabolic microphone looks like a satellite dish. It’s primarily used to collect and amplify ambient noise, such as the stadium noise being collected here.
We store about 25 Wall of Water individual plant greenhouses in a single 5 gallon bucket – that’s enough to shelter hundreds of pounds of tomatoes.
Back in the 1800s, everyone knew what these bright red buckets meant. They were as easily recognizable then as stop signs are today.
Out here in cattle country we’re warming up into grilling season out and I’ll admit – I’m developing meat envy. I’m hoping to hop on the steak bandwagon with my own DIY BBQ grill. Of course I’ve got a reputation I’d like to hang on to, and I can’t show up with anything but a bucket barbecue.
We’ve already covered houses for Chickens made from 5 gallon buckets on this site, but what if your favorite feathered creatures are smaller and capable of flight?
Then lucky for you that Mimi from Blue Roof Cabin has put together this 8-unit bird condo and published her entire building process.
