Dang! That is cheap! These sell where I'm at for $70-$125!

 

I saw 400 gallon honey tub bringing 50.00 yesterday at a action that I was at, if I would have had the trailer with me I would have bought all 6 of them.

Just bit the bullet and snagged a 250gal barrel, already set up for $125. They are just hard to come by and I knew a 50 gal was too small.  I guess we'll be covered for the ducks, garden, and a back up for the zombie apocalypse tongue.png

Check out my water system on my profile page.  You might get some ideas.
