Title: Squirt Cooler Post by: tkaz on June 23, 2013, 11:33:25 am Well, I got very lucky again this morning, I woke up and was checking out the antiques section of Craigslist and this Squirt cooler was on there for $30, 5 miles from my house. I emailed and got a response back and just went and picked it up. The woman bought it 20 years ago and had plans to turn it into a planter :darn: There are some people true to their word, she said she had about 50 emails for it and mine was the first so I got it.
Very little rust on it, the lid was dented in but a quick pull and it popped right back into shape. Title: Re: Squirt Cooler Post by: johnieG on June 23, 2013, 11:41:03 am Nice score! so, are you planting Petunias or Geraniums? :tounge:

Since she honored her word to you I think it only fair that you honor her intent with the cooler. :biggrin: All you have to do is take the drain cap off and it should drain nicely. I'll vote for petunias. Title: Re: Squirt Cooler Post by: Bigfoot on June 28, 2013, 08:31:25 am Nicely done. I used to see them all the time but the last 10 years they seem to have "dried up."
I would vote for a cactus..... |
