Campaign for Square Boxes

[frank_f15]

Back about 15 years ago i fooled my wife( did not intend to ) at that time we did not have a garage so every morning it was get into a cold car and brush the snow and scrape the windows so i bought a rathe new item(quite expensive at the time) and had a remoter starter installed on her car. wrapped up the little remote and when she opend it she said it was an odd KEY RING but very nice all 3 of the kids all thogh they were not reall kids any longer started laughing, she had absoulty no clue what that key ring was, once i showed her she was thrilled and we have had one on every car since, AND WE have a garge now but sill handy when at work and sub zero temps or in the summer, nice to get in a cool car.

I'd say you more than qualify... /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif I can recall being ticked off that the drywall contractor at my investment property used his mud buckets for trash - I wasn't able to clean them out to use them... /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif

Yep, I must be a red neck. Since one of my co-workers found <font color="blue"> these </font> I grab every bucket I can find.

several years ago i built an engine for a jeweler friend of mine, in exchange for a nice diamond dinner ring ( i love the barter system) he had made. when it got time to give my wife ( of 35 years) her present, i took her out in the garage to show her what i had MADE for her. i pulled the cover off the engine on the stand and started telling her about the features and benefits of this beauty motor i built for her. the look on her face was priceless. when she finally decided i was serious, she asked "what can i do with it?". after a few good suggustions i had i told her, " well if you don't want it, i know someone whos willing to swap this even for it" and handed her the ring. the boy gained some points that year. MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL AND GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR PRESENTS/DIVERSIONS................ /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

If you can't bear to throw away an empty 5 gallon plastic bucket, you might be a redneck.

</font>I never throw away a 5 gallon plastic bucket because no matter how many I have around I can never find an empty one when I need it.

They are so handy and have so many uses I keep them all plastic or metal


Why throw free ones away then have to go to wall mart and pay 4 bucks apiece for them.

Q-How do you stop a bucket with a hole in it from leaking?
A-Put something bigger than the hole in it.

<font color="blue"> can't stand to see the 55 gallon blue plastic barrels that get emptied about once a month go to someone else. I may have to build a storage facility just for the barrels I bring home.

Boy I wish I could get 55 gallon and 30 gallon plastic barrels free.
I need a bunch of them to cut in half to line ditches with.
Need enough of them to do 600 feet of ditches.
Got any idea where I could check on getting them free?

The chemistry departments of major universities buy large volumes of solvents. Many come in metal 55 gal drums, but ethanol comes in the plastic barrels. There are probably various kinds of companies that use ethanol like this, but I'd bet they save and sell their barrels, though that might be a source of relatively cheap ones.
