Last spring I found a 55 gallon drum of disinfectant at an online auction. Thinking we could use it to clean the barns at the fairgrounds I put a 30 dollar max bid on it. The auction ended and I received an invoice saying I won.... with a bid of 50 cents.

We used about 4 gallons of the drum, so I’m sitting on about 50 gallons of cleaning supplies. If anybody wants to swing by I would be happy to share. Bring your own jug.
