I payed for it by collecting pop and beer bottles for three months.
I also have a lovely set of matching boat anchors, coffee table supports, book ends, planters etc. etc. for sale cheap!!
All of the blocks I have are drilled for the three oil gallery fittings.
The two spare blocks have to be pressured washed and magnafluxed.
As much as I hate beverage bottle deposits now, there was a time when I too got spending money a nickel and a dime at a time. In Saskatchewan, the province assigned a monopoly on processing to one of the dominant disabled communities, developmentally delayed (I think). Jobs and responsability plus income when people bring in their buckets and bins of cans and drink boxes. Quebec and Ontario have deposits on beer, wine and liquor bottles, and various collection streams.
