On this episode, I pick up where I left off on the last episode and give you the last 5 of 10 ways to repurpose 5 gallon buckets.  No doubt there are many other unique uses for 5 gallon buckets on the homestead and as the saying goes “necessity is the mother of invention” so I’m sure when you see a need around the homestead for which a 5 gallon bucket will do the trick then you will put it to work.
