Got out about 7:30 or so this morning and headed down into the basement and got after some much needed fall cleaning.
Needed to get the "Shell" barrels organized and ready to go when the crop come in and the shelling companies get to running again.
I posted an ad on craigs list looking to buy 10 more 55 gallon barrels with clamp on lids to store nut shells in.
The fact that the shelling season is short and the days that I can get out and get shells and not have it raining are few also.
I want to get a much larger storage capacity set up since we are now running 100% shells for heat.
Looked for a 5 yard dumpster but have not found any that are affordable.
Currently my storage is between about 10 55 gallon drums with lids and many smaller fiber barrels of various sizes.
The smallest is about a 15 gallon size, and are good for enough shells to last about 2 days.
The 55 gallon drums will run the large Whitfield for 5 days running 24 hrs/day.
Well back to work
