Step 3Holey Moley!
Ok lets get started. Take one of your 25L buckets and turn it upside down on the floor. This is going to be placed inside the other bucket and will basically act like a big ol' sieve to hold the grain. You want the water to drain through the bottom of this bucket, so job one is to drill lots of little holes in the bottom. Big enough to let a decent flow of water through but small enough to stop the grain. I went for a 2mm drill bit in a rotary tool but polypropelyne isn't a tough material so any power drill, electric screwdriver or similar would work.
Me being a bit of a perfectionist I wanted the holes fairly evenly spaced so I drew out lots of lines at 10 degree intervals then divided them up like you can see in the pics. then i drew the dots on in permanent marker so i could see them easily. The less anal way of doing this would just to grab your drill and attack that bucket like a drunken dentist! I guess either way is good.
I did this in my bedroom on a carpeted floor... 30 mins later, when I was ankle deep in little plastic shavings, I realised this was not the best idea of the day.
