No doubt the holes allow the water to drain out, which prevents the bucket from cracking when the water freezes. I don't have drain holes in my buckets because I most often use them to tote water around the garden. I just turn them upside down if they remain outside in the winter.
Otherwise, the water inside the bucket will freeze and I have cracked more than a few buckets that way.
Maybe it's the brand of bucket I am buying, blue ones from Lowe's (like Home Depot). On more than a couple the lip cracked, and then the handle broke off.
Mine are all home depot, tsc or butter cream icing from the bakery.
THat SAID, my blue buckets from ace are fine, my pink buckets from ace all had their handles fall off at poor moments, and the green ones, from menards are darn hearty!
I've used Black Salve on lots of skin cancers, moles etc that seemingly appear overnite, all with great success. I had a small, raised red-brown mole on my upper right arm. The GP spotted it and drew a big eye-shaped diagram on paper by way as showing me what she would do. I said I would be back .. as in not a chance of lol! The salve only eats unhealthy cells. It's no less painful than having them burnt and there are no stitches or scar tissue. A tiny white dot is all that is left. There is a lot of fear propaganda on the web about it - but it's just that - propaganda. Drs don't want ppl treating themselves, after all.Went to the foot doctor today for my wart. All along they told me they are not allowed to do surgery or burn off warts in the office. So last week they did a biopsy in the office. They took enough to require several stiches ( surgery ). I was told the wart would have to be cut out in the hospital. Lab confirmed it is a wart. Today they say come back in 2 weeks after it heals. They will then burn it off in the office.About 8 visits over a year plus. In 1964 they burnt them off in the office first visit. One visit and done.
