I know where to get one, but it has a boat on it…

62

yeah there’s a nice one in my driveway.

I think I’ll just make it modular, that way I can store it easier and borrow/rent a trailer when I want take it somewhere.

63

I’ve got about 10 gallons of heating oil and sludge I need to bottle up and dispose of. Got any milk jugs, coolant bottles, etc, I can have? You’ll be invited to the meat fest when I turn the tank into a huuuuuge smoker. :tup:

Tonawanda, North Buffalo, Amherst area…

I’m just about to finish a gallon of milk at home. It’s got your name all over it.

65

You are a bro among men. :tup:

66

Ill ask the gf parents they should have like 10-15 milk cartons laying around.

67

I’ll see what I have in the front room. I’m sure we have some milk containers, we go through it like it’s water here.

EDIT: I got 4 here now if you want them they’re yours.

68

Just use a 5 gallon bucket twice. I’ve got an extra if you need it.

Dispose of by back yard fire… at Justa4doors

Man points.

I’m sure 2, 5 gallon buckets from lowes/hd would be cheap enough and easier than trying to fit it in 10 milk jugs. Unless of course there’s a clearance issue with the larger buckets.

EDIT: beat me to it

Hmm, the buckets aren’t a bad idea. 3 buckets would be a lot easier than 12 jugs.

Way to think outside the jug guys.

71

I’ve got probably 15+ of the nice windshield washer and boat anti-freeze jugs in the garage you’re welcome to have. Only problem is they’re all full of used oil because I’ve been a little lazy about recycling my used oil.

72

Sterling has volunteered it’s resources to help move and fabricate this behemoth.

we bring to the table an alcoholic ex-army dudebro, an alcoholic chemist, and an alcoholic wireless expert.

73

I can prob drop a few laundry detergent bottles off. I’ll check later.

74

I have a HF “industrial” chop saw in stock.
probably needs a new blade though.

75

I actually may need a hand wrestling this thing out of the basement once I get it drained.

Wait, who lives there? You, drew… Who’s the chemist?

76

Horse.

77

My wife’s birthday is coming up. I bet she’d love a sawzall.

Or I can just see what kind of blades I can find for my circular saw.

78

Oh right. I’ve met him before I think. Is that the dudebro that was out Friday night that wasn’t Mongo?

79

Well, I guess this isn’t a classified ad anymore. Jeff work your magic and merge it with my oil tank/smoker thread. :headbang:

Will empty 12 oz. cans work?
