Title: Got a big Vat. What used for? Post by: Creighton on May 23, 2012, 10:17:37 pm Hauled this home from a tree thicket at the neighbors. It will be my rain water collection system.
Wondering if anyone knows what is was for originally. 4'5" tall with a 2'6" aluminum tub inside. Thanks! Creighton Title: Re: Got a big Vat. What used for?

Back after fire but before the wheel I did land survey stuff. That's an expandable 25' carbon fiber pole marked in 10 ths of a foot. Used last to knock the snow off the Dish antenna :-). I'm thinking wash tub or dry cleaning. There was was a hinged lid at some point. Thanks all! Creighton Title: Re: Got a big Vat. What used for?
