Title: separating 5-gallon buckets

Hi, Folks!

 

Thanks for all the good advice about pulling apart stuck  5-gallon buckets. 

 

Tomorrow, when I have my St. Gabriel’s group again, we’re going to try ALL the suggestions (except for the air compressor, which I don’t have, but obviously should be on some list of VITAL ITEMS NEEDED FOR SUCCESSFUL MARKET FARMING as there’s always *some* guy who uses his air compressor as a solution for just about any problem one could think of outdoors! ;-) and of course, the winter-related items [Gee, Jack – it’s almost May – where were you in November when I could have had the kids pour water down the stuck buckets, closed up the shed for the winter and then unlocked it in March and found all my buckets magically unstuck {but damp} all over the shed floor? ;-) and David and Sally’s suggestions about blasting caps and lighter fluid/matches [not together – even they aren’t that demented! ;-D].

 

The kids will think I’m nuts (but they already think that anyway – or that I should have my own show on The Discovery Channel! ;-)), but, by golly, we’ll have every single bucket free so that for Saturday’s Work Day, everyone will have their very own single bucket to do useful things like collect weeds or transport wood chips and then we will stack them with items in between them so we never have to do a GRAND BUCKET UN-STICKING again!

 

Agriculture – who says it’s not exciting? :-D
