KCM --- The grocery bag is a good idea, but what if she waters a horse with the bucket. The horse would eat the bag, and the place would become covered with grocery bags full of road apples!!

Them rubber buckets are $18.00 in my neck of the woods. (noticed the price a few weeks ago when I was browsing the local farm store) I came home and started treating mine like they were gold! Has anyone found a cheap online store to order them? (somewhere they don't charge an arm & a leg for shipping?)

I had no idea anyone else on the planet had ever heard that ridiculous song! It is so insanity causing, I eventually took the cd away from my daughter.

Love that song. My husband thinks I'm nuts for even remembering it. Good ol' Sesame Street.

Anyway, can you melt the bucket and put a new patch in it? How about saving this bucket to cut patches for other buckets? Whatever you do, please be sure to use something NON-TOXIC if you are going to use it to feed or water animals.

LOL about the song! I wondered if anyone knew what i was talking about.
So far I have not done anything with the bucket. Oldest ds, who is at least 50% responsible for the animals went out and purchased 2 new buckets. They are $9.95 here but for some reason, they changed him $9.95 for both?? Good deal for us. www.princessauto.com I would like to try some of the suggestions you have made here. Thanks all for your help!

Thats the kind of bucket's I use, when they start leaking it's time to buy a new one. You will probably spend more on fixing it then what it would cost to replace it. Use the old bucket for feed, salt or make a tool/nail bucket out of it.
