I didn’t realize there was protection on those. I know you’re smart enough not to mix electricity and water!
“Oh well. I can use it for storage.”
We have four (non-functioning) chest freezers in the kennel shed and that’s where we store all the bags of dog food for the hunting dogs. Beau buys it by the pallet-load. It keeps it dry and keeps the mice OUT!
Good luck on the job hunting. How is the economy by you? What are your choices for employment? Maybe they fired the jerk that caused you to leave your last job? Seemed like you enjoyed it and the hours.

Jobs out here are convenient/grocery stores, retirement homes and factories. I dropped an app at the machine shop that does military aircraft parts and will upload a resume to Hubbell, a big electric component mfg. This location does transformers like home electric service type out on the electric pole.
Looking at the weekend shift, Fri-Sun, 3 - 12 hour days. Pays $22-23/hr - 36 hours, 6am-6:30pm so about $800/wk. They have day and night shifts too that are 4 - 10 hour days, Mon-Thurs. Night shift is $25-26/hr and $1,000/wk but 4:30pm to 3am - yuck. Day shift is $20-21/hr so it would still be about $800/wk for four more hours in four days compared to weekend. Weekend or days, either would work and give me at least one weekday off which is nice.
They’re a global company and have many locations across the US so the benefits ought to be decent.
I can handle 12 hours on my feet if it isn’t a bunch of walking which was my issue with the last place when I was a tech doing 12 hour shifts. Having four days off would be cool and leave plenty of time for gardening and projects around here. When I swapped to the office job, then I had no weekdays off which I hated.
The machine shop is considered thee place to work around here. I guess it’s a pretty easy pace - fedgov contracts. Highly precise work. They prefer younger people that they can train and have work there for decades which is understandable. They turned me down last time but I had zero recent work history and have a couple of years now so we’ll see. I did good on the mechanical aptitude test, probably better than most.
The factories are set up for processes broken down to simple repetitive tasks that are quick to train most anyone on, Henry Ford style, so they’ll take most anyone.
