I have one of those blue plastic barrels that will be cut in half this weekend to become my horse's new out side feeder. Originally, I had planned to drop a tire or two over the barrel so that she couldn't tip it over. But then I found out that not a single one of the tire shops in my area has used (trash) tires that will fit over a barrel. So then I thought that I would put several inches of concret in the bottom and hopefully that would make it so heavy that she can't tip it.
Well then, I got this idea:
If I take the other end and cut a ring - about 5" high from the open end - I could use that as a mold for stepping stones. Has anyone done this? I've been searching google for a while and can't find where anyone else has done this. They would be heavy - so I'd pour them in place... but what I can't find is HOW to get the ring off for the next one. Would I have to cut a side so I could peal it off??? Or is there a way to keep it whole and still get if off the stepping stone once its hardened?????
geez... I seem to be just full of half-baked ideas.....
