6-7 large boxes of masonry rock.

Looks like large, smooth and round river rock with a flat back.

Got some ideas for it, too. Like maybe a built in outdoor canning area complete with propane burners.

I got a FREE refridgerator/freezer this past weekend. I needed another one to use part of the year when the garden starts to really produce, but it is still too warm for storage of the produce in my basement and hatchway. I usually start to have a problem with the overflow beginning in September. I dont need to run the 'fridge but a few months a year for the produce and maybe again at Christmas. We do a lot of cooking and baking during the holidays.

i forgot till i saw this post today, but a few weeks back i got five 55 gallon plastic drums " out of the way" at the firestation. i have already added most of them to my rain water collection system. still planning to add the remaining drums to another system im making. I have become a scrounge fanatic i have recently scrounged stuff like mason jars, more angle iron than ill ever use, old clothes, used tires that are still useable, 5/4 deck boards that i have used to make raised beds out of, picked up a whole box of self tapping metal screws that contractors are to lazy to pick up, 2 red tick hounds that were being given away because of a family dispute and more but i think ive made out like a thief lately.

I found nice wheelbarrow along the side of the hi-way. A little beat up, but it cleaned up real nice.
