If the walls are thin, you are probably spinning your wheels though.
Some of my best "treasures" came from the dump! People throw all kinds of good stuff away, never ceases to amaze me.
And no....I'm not a hoarder lol. I just like repurposing things.

Agree, I have had some great finds at this dump, including a 20t bottle jack that just needed jack oil. I was looking for ideas on cleaning not whether to use it or not, I will make that determination, it is water tight so that is a good start.
