I've just had some junk mail through from Bricomarche and noticed on the back page Auge a Gacher 13litre for 1E95 and a Auge Plastique Noire 25litre for 3E45,their buckets are 99c. I think the auges are designed for painters or plasterers,oblong,low sides,but they look pretty robust,might get a few if I'm ever near a Bricomarche,will see what Gedimet have to offer tomorrow.
I had set myself the task of making a concrete one using a bit of shuttering and an old oil drum to make the mould,will wait til I'm next concreting and have a go. Any suggestions/tips whether i should treat the concrete once it's set before the pigs dine from it?
