Congrats, you have just saved, (depending on location) about $1.00 each.

I could (and did) have used 190 of then and paid easily $.50 each.
Blocked up the crawl space at "The Place".
Shoot around here new ones are almost 6 bucks each and used out of the paper are 3.50 each.

You know the responses to use them to weight down a body is kinda sick.

It is. I mean sticking the feet through the holes and chaining them for weight.

I entire idea to use them to "sink" a body in water. There are some sick folks on here.

Shoot we have wood chippers that handle a body fine.

LOL - where I'm from (detroit) noone bothers with even going through that effort. Just roll em up in old carpet and stick them out at the curb...the poor garbage men down there are ALWAYS seeming to be the ones to find the dead bodies.

I have another post on here about raised bed gardening with cinder blocks pics on that post.

Also dig into the side of a hill and use cinder blocks to make a root cellar. Works well and maintains a constant temp.
