I got the 5 gallon buckets picked up this morning and they are all washed out and drying. Now I need to get "stuff" to put in'em. These came from a source I hadn't thought of before...a barbecue joint. They get their sauce made up in 5 gallon buckets and get all the pickles in the same. They even pre-washed the buckets so they weren't to bad, even the pickle buckets. I sat them in the yard and gave each a shot of dish soap and a double shot of bleach and added water. After setting for an hour or so I attacked them with a brush inside and out, then topped of with more water for another couple hours of soaking, rinsed and stored upside down to drain. The lids got the same treatment in the bath tub.

Here's one and here's a site that covers, basements, root cellars, pits and has some storage information..
