Yes and unless he's got that ladder locked to the wall, it's an invitation to any would-be-burglars!
We don't have a single water butt yet. It's on my list to get installed before winter. I've been researching rain water harvesting system which can be plumbed into a toilet and outdoor tap, but it's out of our budget at the moment. The cheapest system seems to be an above ground, direct feed system. For example: https://www.rainwaterharvesting.co.uk/d ... system-106
Ha ha! I have ladders above mine too,and yes,they are locked.

Our ladders are in the garage, but the main doors are the 'barn door' type, with a hasp & staple lock, so quite easy to break in with a good set of bolt cutters. I considered locking the ladders to the wall, but instead I've installed 2 tail bolts to each door and a horizontal 4 foot security bar. So now the ladders and my food pantry are much more secure. Of course, they'll probably just break in through the side door
My drum doesn't have a garage.Mind you,thieves stole a rather valuable motorcycle from my BIL's garage.They moved his Landrover first! But I digress.
Some years ago,a neighbour was locked out after a marital row.Called police,who established that she was entitled to enter her house.( This was 30 years ago),there was an open upstairs window,but no ladder.She says, " Neighbour has a ladder" so Plod asks to use them.When I unlocked them,he commented, " That padlock and chain is a good idea! " No sh#t Sherlock! I told him that I was following crime prevention advice! AND I told him to hang them back up and lock them when done.
Back on topic,I hooked up the 3x 50 gallon barrels at the back of the Summerhouse today.Its a big old roof that one.

We use these upturned pipes to grow catfish for market
That looks fascinating Spike. Can you wander over to the New Members section and tell us a little about yourself please? Where you're based, what you are prepping for, the price of catfish on the market sort of thing? Ta.

I have managed to nab a water butt for free off facebook's buying and selling pages in my area, nearly got another 2 but was pipped to the post! The one I got for free is down my allotment which I keep topped up with water from the water pipe so I have a store on my patch. I got very excited that I got one for free - little things … I am now obsessed in looking at the buying and selling pages for more that are cheep/free.
