Good thing that you and the guy in your office didn't hear the things that I was screaming into the phone. THAT would have been embarassing ... remember what I was yelling out at the sports bar? :twisted:

Jamie,
Looking good bro. I'll have to reiterate what some of the others said, get some more room and add some more racks. You can never have too many food items.

Oh I remember...Vaughn nearly had to throw down. I would have protected the woman and Brad while Vaughn was defending your honor (or lack thereof)! :D

I just bought a bunch more tubs from home depot for a couple more rat racks, adn to replace a couple chewed tubs. They are a different brand than the ones I originally bought a while ago, but seem to be the same exact mold, and the same exact thickness of material. I haven't had any problems using them interchangeably with the old ones. I'm not sure off hand what brand they are, or if they will continue to carry these, but I know they are thicker than the ones at Lowes. Maybe I should go stock up while I still can.....

I've seen these as well. Do they have weird ridges along the bottom that make them not slide as well?

I noticed my original smaller tubs from Hd had a weak spot, a hole on one side for a hook or something, but rats would get a start on that and chew holes.

But then recently I've had rats chew through solid plastic without a starter hole, so it seems hit or miss.

The new ones have little plastic reinforcements that stick out on the edges. Yes, they do get caught up when sliding tubs in and out. I even tried trimming of the pieces of plastic sticking out and they still "catch" every time you slide them in. I since have quit building and selling rat racks, until I can find better tubs. I can only find "flimsy" tubs everywhere I look, maybe I was just spoiled with the other ones. :confused:

The tubs that Home Depot used to sell are available at Ace Hardware. They have the ACE logo on the side, and they charge extra for the logo. About $8.50 each.

Gotta pic? I'm visualizing a "lightning bolt" streak across the face?
