Wanna build a raft?

Misty Blue · 07-01-2012, 09:17 AM

Hi folks!

Here at my power plant in Tamworth I have four 55 gallon plastic drums that I have to get rid of. They are beauties! White plastic with two bungs. They are pretty much standard 55 gallon drum size and make great floats for a raft.

Their combined lift capacity is over 1600 pounds. The last raft that I built with similar drums only drew five inches after it was launched. It didn't require any special hardware, just lumber, nails. some rope and screws.

I will clean them up and can make a reasonable delivery on the Lake.

No charge. I do not check my e-mail daily so if you are interested give me a call at 455 7178 and maybe I can do you a favor.

Misty Blue.

Can you use them for potable water? Rain barrels?

I'll take one for a rain barrel if no one wants all 4

Short answer, Yes!

I actually have six drums to get rid of. Two are blue and four are white (the ones that thought would look good on a raft).

I will clean them up and they are yours. Potable water? Maybe not.

Let me know.
