Perry and i are thinking you had the honey buckets on the floor so you could reach and get honey from them, Squirt. :laugh: :laugh: Jack

   I worry about her slipping and falling IN one of those buckets head first...      :sad:   Dont they have warnings on them nowdays?

LOL!!!! .....some very funny comments here........... :D

naw i didn't fall in head first, but if all of you can claim you have never had to clean up honey off the floor from a mishap, i say you are fibbing!

an unattended grandchild wandering in the house to the kitchen. curiosity led to opening a honey gate on a filtered bucket of honey............

i won't mention who, but SOMEONE tipped over a full 5 gallon bucket of honey sitting up on a squirt step stool  ready to be strained on the kitchen floor.....

.............. :D

jack.....you first.......give it up!........ ;D

Never dumped honey on the kitchen floor. A pot of melted beeswax however, is a different story. :-[

Good Gravy! I don't know which one would be worse, honey or wax.... let'see, at least the wax would harden a bit, that would be helpful....  I cannot imagine!

Wait a minute!  I thought people put wax ON the floor.  Besides soldering, the main thing I learned how to do in the Army was to run a buffer!
