Step 4Tap That!
Holes drilled? Lots of mess on the floor? Dont vacuum just yet, theres a little bit more mess to make.
Take your perforated polypropelene bucket and put it into your, up till now, unmolested bucket. Then get a torch (flashlight), turn it on and point it onto the bottom of the bucket. This iluminates the bottom area inbetween buckets.
Now you want to drill a hole for the thread of your tank connector to go through. A 15mm tank connector like mine has a thread diameter of about 1/2" (20mm)*.
If you have a fancy holesaw then well done you. I had to settle for a router bit on my cheapo dremel substitute (see pic 3). This is the more mess i promised you!
Once you have the hole cut , tidy it up and cut off any chaff with a craft knife or similar then thread the main body of the tank connector through the hole youve made from the outside**.
Screw that tank connector back together with the washer on the outside of the bucket making a nice watertight seal. (see pic 4)

*For those confused, I'm not intentionally mixing metric and imperial thats just england trying to be modern whilst preserving tradition... doesnt really work but i kinda like it!
**depending on where you get the tank connector, most have some sort of collar inside that stop a 15mm pipe going straight through. I took a small round file and got rid of this fairly easily. if you have a dremel or similar rotary tool you could use this aswell.
