I searched our local Craigslist coverage area and found an inexpensive source for 275 Gallon IBC ( International Bulk Container) tote tanks ($50 ea.) which were single use food grade totes that contained liquified corn sugar (not corn syrup).

This isn't the first glamorous job the humble box-truck has held. It came to Nick's attention when he saw a picture of the truck on his brother's computer. The truck's sides had been cut out and replaced with Plexiglas. . © Compass Green Justin(Left). Put your stuff up in the air! Hanging DIY ideas & tutorials.

10 Simple Things You Can Do to Make Your Yard More Appealing to Wildlife. I get a thrill and a sense of well-being when I see wildlife around my home.
