Team X water bucket idea
Those of you that know me know that I am always playing around with different items and ideas with my dogs.
One of my latest ideas that I am really happy with is my heated water bucket. I take a 5 gallon bucket put a strain of 25 old fashion type bigger Christmas tree bulbs in the bottom of the bucket that has a hole in it for the cord to come out of it.
Then I set another 5 gallon bucket on top of the first or bottom bucket with lights in it.
That has worked great for me. I am going to try a single bucket with just putting the bulbs in a capped off 2" piece of pvc next.
The Christmas tree bulbs should be really cheap in the next few days. I love the 5 gallon size compared to a heat water bowl and these are much cheaper.
I put my cord on a temperature outlet, so it only turns on when close to 35 degrees or so.
Happy New Year
