1
Flip over your 3-gallon bucket and drill a 3-inch hole in the center with your electric hand drill. Let the drill work at its own pace; pushing will only break your bit or the drill itself.

2
Flip the bucket back over and line the inside with two layers of cheesecloth. The cloth must come up over the edges of the bucket like a trash-can liner.

3
Slip the 3-gallon bucket into your 5-gallon bucket. Tuck the edges of the cheesecloth into the 5-gallon bucket so it stays in place. The rim of the 3-gallon bucket should rest on the rim of the 5-gallon bucket.

4
Fill the 3-gallon bucket with street deicing rock salt. The salt will draw moisture into it. When the salt is soaked, the water will drip into the 5-gallon bucket. Empty the bucket every other day and replace the salt every three days or so.
