    Default Where do I get "My" Buckets ?

    I used to have at least a dozen of buckets. But thanks to those who wants to borrow and did not return. I am now getting frustrated every time I have to look for a bucket to use

    Actually, I know where to get some and to buy some cheap. Honestly, I am just hoping those who "borrowed" could be gentleman enough to return them.

    This is really affecting the availability and my willingness to lend out any of my buckets to anyone else who may be in real need to use some temporarily.

    You know who you are and thanks for your consideration for me and others.

    I only send off buckets I know I won't need. Been there, done that, got the white hairs to prove it

    Gordon a good guy. Hopefully those who borrowed his buckets will make the effort to return them.

    Good luck my friend.

    Yes, I've also heard that big food buckets are safe to use.

    Once I clear out the gravel from my spare bucket you are welcome to that...but we know it is too far between Tsaw and Coquitlam.

    Hope everyone returns them to you! I hate it when people "borrow" my stuff but never bring it back...so I don't loan stuff out anymore (sad to say).

    Thanks for all the generosity. I know where to get them. $3 from HomeDepot 5 minutes from me won't harm my wallet either. That is not the point here I love this forum because there are a lot of generous people here.

    Guess in the future I have to take a $10 deposit each to demonstrate sincerity of returning). When people ask to borrow do they really mean to take FF I know in some cases, it does take some effort to return them - but that is just life.

    Thanks Sliver, with all the nice people here, I know I could have 20 offers if I ask FF

    The problem is it will cost me more to drive to Mission then to pick up from HomeDepot - I practically live there and darn LeeValley is across the street

    Well, if you are around my neighbourhood. I will trade you a few for long fin BNP
