Single barrel hose connector

This rainbarrel has a hose connection fitting at the bottom for attaching to a hose.  
The hole was drilled slighly above the bottom of the barrel, leaving room for a little sediment to build up inside,
but not so high that a lot of water will be trapped in the bottom of the barrel where it can't be accessed.

A male pipe thread by male hose thread fitting (brass) was inserted into the barrel. Inside a washer and an
electrical pvc female adapter were used to create a water tight seal. The yellow hose shut off valve
was attached to the male hose thread side of the brass fitting.
