Local guy here has his detached garage made of the 30 and 50 crates! Even has the wingnuts scattered about!

Some few nice anti tank mine crates

Ok, so they will be sold... I bet they are priced as though they are gold coated! Anybody know?

Hah, that is funny with the outlet dropped through the boxes. I have done a lot of creative things over the years but not that. Yet!

I'm never this lucky. I usually only turn up dried varmints when I demo a wall.

By the looks of it, the crates still have the two back strap hinges, but the two front and top latch/catch pieces appear to have been removed before the wall was built. Thats a bummer. (maybe they're sitting loose inside the last crate. Wishful thinking?)

But still, these are some very neat crates and a fantastic find!

what fun!
