  • since it was another rain day in the Kingdom, we did a little welding on the fire wood storage tanks. with everything be so wet, we knew there would be little chance of starting a forest fire. in this video i took time to explain how to reuse, recycle and repurpose these old petroleum tanks. there are lots of uses and lots of good steel in these tanks. we have enjoyed getting these tanks and bettering ourselves over the years. hopefully others get to recycle, reuse and repurpose old tanks too. thansk
    this is a daily updated channel from the Kingdom in Northern Manitoba Canada where every day is a struggle to survive in the new world we now live in. the life style of recycling, re-using, re-purposing plus living with no money is what the Kingdom has been all about for the last 28 years. we have been doing it long before it became a cool lifestyle. thansk

    Good morning from Cape Cod ⛵ with all the rain you guys are having it's a good thing you built yourself a couple of tank boats 😉 I hadn't realized that every damn tank in the yard was actually a shed, that's actually pretty cool, the best definition of recycling 👍 our town has several rollback dumpsters for a different types of recyclable materials, is a 4-ft retaining wall and if you look over it there below you. One for metals, construction debris, household items and one for wood. I got a long pole in the back of the truck with a hook on the end, I dragged all kind of good crap out of there. Got a brand new bumper with a scratch on it for a pickup truck that I knew was Chevrolet but I wasn't sure of the year, so I took it home and throw it in the back of a suburban that I used for storage 😂 picked up a 2005 Chevy Silverado to restore and the back bumper is right at the house considering we're in New England. Lo and behold the brand new bumper that I have was for this truck 👍 my 30X 30 shop is built entirely from recycled materials, except for the concrete and most fasteners. Keep up the good work and the awesome content Joey ✌️🇺🇲

      yes a lot of people don't realize how much get thrown away that can be reused, recycled and repurposed. 30x30 is a big building which means that was a lot of wood tossed away. plus most of the flat metal in the Kingdom were once tanks too, cut to be laid out flat. that is where all the materials came from to build the winter freighting skis. thansk

    All the info on the tanks was quite interesting! Back in the late 80s when I was hauling scrap, I was getting 3 or 4 of the 265 gallon fuel oil tanks given to me every week, people just wanted them gone. Awhile back, when I wanted one to build a smoker, I couldn't find a free one to save me. Hope your team came back Sir Rodney. 'Til tomorrow...

It's very interesting to see how you carry on in the far North Latitudes. OH, I think I saw lettuce; BLT's may be on the menu. Good going! ben/ michigan

    Nice use of the tanks. I think they used tanks in Siberia as cabins and they were quite warm when they fixed them up. As to the rain here we could use a couple weeks of dry weather. They said starting in April it would be warmer and drier than normal. Yeah right, they would loose all their money at the race track on their predictions.

    • @kingofobsolete4789
      @kingofobsolete4789  Před 3 měsíci

      yes in seberia that make good homes and quite a few videos here on CZcams showing them. we have recycled lots of tanks and gotten lots of materials out of them for our projects. thansk

    I LOVE that double tail airplane. No, I'm not going to buy it because I have no room at my house. Sorry. But it is a very cool air-plane. Or at least was when it was all together and flying until it wasn't.
    Love your videos, have a great day, week, month and year.

    More Kingdom history. Loved every second of it. What about Rustoleum? The storage capacity of those tanks and next to zero (zed?) maintenance costs.Makes me envious. 2 sheds of mine need roofs. Enjoy the game much, Rodney 😎
