Wonder if I can make this work.
« on: June 27, 2014, 08:19:49 pm »
I bought this at a yard sale today 5 bucks. I think with a little modifications I can make a uncapping tank. It has a drain in it already.

Yes it was an ice chest.

It's new life will be an uncapping tank, even has a beer bottle, i mean, a soda bottle opener on the side. ;D

She said she had a top to it and would call me to come get it. The duct tape is just on ther for the lid. Nothing wrong under tape.

5 bucks.

very nice and get the top so ti will be easy to keep the bees ants and dust out of it when not in use. And on a nice stand as well. Good find and seeing its potential to be used for something other that its organelle purpose. Did you check out that a frame would fit or just thin it might and at $5.00 you could not loose?
