I bought one of those blue barrels off the side of the road a few years back on the way back to Fredericton from Macadam. $15 or so. I still see them for sale really cheap every once in a while. I originally bought it for canoeing but lately it has been sitting empty behind my shed. After reading this post, I think it will get cleaned up and use it to store some grain. Great idea DandyMason.
