Haha, thanks man for the slap. I truly appreciate that. Yea, we find its definitely alot easier doing it that way, and using a funnel to water with. We also bought a waterfarm blue tube kit, and installed the blue tube on the side. Then we put white electric tape to signify the water level by the gallon.. It's all been working out quite well. A battery operated water pump was also recently obtained in case any of the ladies get too top heavy to try and lift. The holes in the top aren't quite big enough, so some adjustments will be made for that in the future..
