Last week, I sent out a message to some local eco-groups asking if anyone had 55 gallon drums kicking around.
A guy I know is getting set to go totally hard-core on building a bio-diesel processor. He was asking about barrels for taking to restaurants. We also need barrels for the processing and storing of oil and bio-diesel.
One woman down the street said she had one, but would be out of town for the next week. Today, she was back home, and I had a chance to stop over there.
The barrel was in a back shed. We had to chip away ice to get the door open. I think the barrel has been sitting in there since the last oil crisis.
It came with a simple, but solid home-made stand. The barrel is now in my garage, (out of the rain and snow) and the stand is behind my garage.
Well, heck, it's a start at least.
I will be working on locating used oil and be helping build the bio-processor in the coming weeks and months.
