    Uses for 2-liter plastic bottles

    Here is a neat idea of how to make a corrugated roof from soda bottles for a greenhouse Pretty much self explanatory.



    I am me,
    I am free,
    You can not change me.

    If you try, you will see,
    That I am unchangeable,
    Because I am me.

    Use them in a NOT Heated greenhouse. Paint them black fill them with water and place the proper amount of Chlorine in it, (To kill any growths from occurring and for drinking in a pinch) place them in the green house to collect the warmth of the sun. They will radiate that warmth in the evening to help keep your plants alive.

    Great Idea Taz!
    RELIGION IS LIKE A PENIS
    Its fine to have one,
    Its fine to be proud of it,
    But please dont whip it out in public and start waving it around,
    And PLEASE dont try to force it down my children's throats.

    An armed society is a polite society. Manners are good when one may have to back up his acts with his life.

    Awesome ideas above.
    I would like to point out one of the more obvious uses for 2 liters.... Especially for the budget minded, or Cheap, as my wife likes to call me.

    Water storage.
    The individual bottles makes inventory a very easy task, and if your water supply is contaminated, it will be confined to only 1 bottle leaving the others sealed and safe.Another good option is that in a bugout scenario, you can just grab what you can and go.

    Tips: Keep them in a cool place and out of sunlight.. Do not fill to the top, leave enough room for expansion in case they freeze. A few drops of bleach will keep them fresh if a treated munical water supply is unavailable. (i.e. you use well, or spring water)

    A friend of mine made this storage rack and keeps it in his garage. (320 liter capacity)



    Also:::
    A two liter with three small holes popped in the lid and laying on it's side dribbles enough water for a handwash, sponge bath, and even dish washing, without wasting much water

    I don't usually say this to guys... but "NICE RACK!!"

    I'd like to see a few more detailed pics of the construction of that bad boy!
    Give a man fire, and he'll be warm for a day!
    Light a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life!

    Cat's are food... not friends!

    If you're going to fight, then fight like you're the third monkey on the ramp into Noah's arc... and brother, it's starting to rain.

    He's been promising me the plans for a few years now.... I'm not holding my breath. Unfortunately, those are the only pics I have of the beast. When time allows, I plan to build a smaller version using these pics as a rough estimate of measure.
    At 2.2lbs per liter that thing weighs over 700 pounds with a full payload. If he has a caster blowout things could get interesting real quick.
