  • Poor man's 2 bucket system

    Well, I didn't want to spent a bundle getting my two bucket wash system set-up so I looked to see what I could do. I came up with this.

    Supplies:

    2"x2"x8' pine (.97 cents)
    4 caster wheels ($10.00)
    various screws ($2.00)
    stain (had)
    varnish sealer (had)
    2 buckets (free) (3.5 gal versions)
    2 grit guards ($16.00)
    red spray paint (had)
    white spray paint (had)

    Anyway, here is the result.

    It might be time to change your sig line - apparently you actually are pretty good at crafts!

                          Looks good.

                          Only thing about that is our driveway has huge expansion and contraction joints. I would be wheeling them around and flips my buckets.
