Default Coal storage problems

I store coal in a 55 gallon plastic drum that is covered with a plastic tarp. It would seem that I do not use coal from the storage bin fast enough, and things grow in the coal. Click here to see

That is cute. Might want to think about something heaver than the tarp if you want to keep the cats out. Of course that is once mama moves them.

Looks more like a cat storage problem to me.

My mom always said "It's good luck for a cat to come to your home"

By my count, you're gonna have lots of good luck!

I must admit this *present* is much better than the last *present* the cat left in the coal bin. (grin).

Glenn, if you need to find homes for those kittens, I'll take one of the orange ones. I'd even name it "clinker"!

That's going to be some smelly smoke...phewww!

We have gecko lizards laying eggs in my coal bin by the hundreds. I try not to break them when I have to go shoveling but some seasons there are simply so many that I break a few.

I had a momma cat to have a litter in my coal bin this year as well. They got big enough and I moved them and low and behold what I had thought were black cats were actually grey striped
