Cheap Used Plastic 55 Gallon Drums, Not a Good Idea.
Been thinking about setting up a watering system for the chickens so I took a shot on a cheap plastic 55 Gallon Drum on Craigslist.
It looked clean, and didn't have any odor when I checked it out, but as soon as I started adding water to flush it out, it started to suds up and turn into a gray colored slurry.
After letting it flush out for a good while, the water was still slick to the touch, so basically I paid $10 for a new trashcan.
No big loss and a low cost lesson learned.

If you found this video helpful, and buy stuff on Amazon anyways, then I'd appreciate you using this link for your next purchase:

It will cost you nothing extra, and I'll make a few cents as a commission on your purchase, even if you buy something else.
