Hi Dick,

I almost didn’t recognize you at first. :)

This is a nice project. It is a straight-forward build and very practical. You could have just left it as it was but went to the extra step of painting it. Nicely done.

Thanks for the post and the story behind it.

-- With God's help all things are possible- even woodworking. Woodworking is not just a hobby, it is an (expletive deleted) expensive hobby.

I’ve lived in both the deep south, and driven through some of the less savory parts of New York City back in the day, and… well… that’d be good there, ‘cause to pick up one of those plastic milk cartons you’d have to move the wheel-less car that was sitting on it…

This gets me thinking… many stores around are offering bonuses if you don’t use their bags, and we’ve started trying to do that just to have less junk to manage, might be cool to make a couple of boxes that fit in the trunk nicely so we can just load ‘em up at the register.

It’s a good way to use up some scrap plywood.

I see were they’ve outlawed plastic bags in China.

I think this country better start thinking about that, or make them biodegradable.

When the snow melts it’s white with bags all over the place.

Looking much younger there Dick. Must be something in the milk. Great idea with the carrier box. I remember the days when the milkman would come down the road in the horse & cart and deliver the milk in bulk. We would take a container (a billy) to the milko & he would fill it up. How times have changed.

Hi Dick;

I have to ask this question. If Barb can’t carry one gallon, how can she carry two? Is it mind over matter? LOL

Good job.

Lee!
You must have stayed up all night, in order to come up with that comment. LOL

I don’t think you could pour milk out of 4 jugs at a time either.

A very practical way to solve your problem. The joinary is simple. Such boxes can be made for many other purposes.

I still remember when they delivered milk to our house in glass bottles and a little cardboard tab for a seal. Man that brings back memories. I’m not a milk drinker, my Dad was, he’d drink it right out of the cow, yuk. My wifes a drinker though, she’ll go through a couple gallons a week. Lowfat stuff. I could never develope a taste for it, funny, I sure developed a taste for whiskey at one time. LOL. Great Idea Dick as always. mike

I remember when I delivered the milk to the house, from the barn :)

I remember when I was a kid, my Dad would give me a Dime.

I’d put it in a milk bottle, & set it on the porch. In the morning I’d get the milk,

& there would be a penny change on top of the full bottle.

That would be my reward for the day. When I had 10 cents, I’d go to a movie.

A loaf of bread was 15 cents.
