Been doing a bit of it myself lately - but my shopping list is a stainless steel eklectric double oven, extractor and gas hob.
Getting a bit sick of looking at them between that n adverts n buyandsell.
Any other sites i should be looking at?

spotted this one yesterday


Barrels in Waterford (http://www.donedeal.ie/for-sale/petaccessories/4116040)

Probably give him a ring over the weekend and pick up one for a grain store, if it's fit for purpose - air tight ,rat proof - didn't previously store acid or whatever ....
@Spud - I've heard you mention that you use something similar & store it outside is that right ???
I have a nice little outside spot for it - if such a method is a runner !!!

re: Barrels in Waterford ->
Contacted Dude today:

Only Seems to have 50 Litre ones Left at the Moment,
Reckoned that they might not be fully airtight- said a buddy put a tube @ the top then stuck on the lid and uses it in the water - something to do with kayaking - figured that made it watertight at least

Also, said they came from Some Factory & stored packaged tablets, so nothing  dodgy really touched the insides as such,
probably gonna drop over in next day or so and take a look
Also Said he'd make a call and see of he could get some more of the 120 litres 

tenner for the 50 Litre 
18 for the 120 Litre

So Guys - thoughts & opinions as to using it as a grain store ?

As long as they haven't been used for the storage of chemicals (solvents especially)or oils and there is no obvious smell when you stick your head right in :o. Try and smell one with the lid not taken off.
Those HDPE bins can absorb smells/vapours if exposed for a long time, but as tablets usually have coatings to prevent migration so you should be fine.

Ah only spotted this now Damien, yeah I use a 60L blue barrel with a snap ring closer on the lid (made up that term just now) Keep it in the shed and not had a bother with it.
Mine was previously used for pharmaceuticals.
I leave the grain in the bags anyway.
In the 60L barrel there is room for a full 25kg sack a few bag ends (5-6kg) and what ever specialty grains I have, with ease

 cool - thanks shane - gonna drop by that dude over next day or so - some random thought went through my head what wit hthe frosts and what not recently - thought that outside might not be good for the grain - then remebered someone mentioning a chicken run !!!
either way the 30 odd kilos of grain need to come outa d closet so to speak !! ( really gotta brew more often !)

Anyone know what the blue barrels are made from, i.e. are they food grade?
Could they be used as frementors?

Saw a post on Jims where a guy was using one as a HLT, not sure what they would be like over 80C as they are HDPE, wall thickness may help?

picked one of those drums up just now - one of the small ones @ 50/60 litre capacity I'd say  sticker said it had metformin in it previously an antidiabetic drug,
Didn't get to chat ti#o the dude he wasn't there so I might give him a ring to see if he's getting in the bigger ones and maybe get a price on a bulk buy ?
Anyway - they're PetWorld  (http://www.petworld-waterford.ie/index.php?page=Contact-Us)Over in FerryBank in Kilkenny (sorry Derek, couldn't resist !!)
HDPE with a 2 inside teh recycle thingy

The cold will be good for the grain, on the same principle that keeping it in a fridge would be good if you could do it. Anything (almost) kept colder will degrade slower as chemical reactions are slowed down.
