Repurposed large heavy duty boot tray with drip grids

I got the jumbo version of this tray last month, and agree, it's extremely sturdy & well made.

It was also almost a perfect fit for the wire rack I got as the basis for my first real indoor setup :

The light I bought is this one

For $195 total, I'm very pleased! All of my tropical plants fit on one shelf, but you could outfit at least one, possibly 2 more shelves on this rack (depending on the height of your trees) for an additional $100 each.

He says you can cut any rubber with the right blade. You need a blade with a lot of teeth. But can't see why it can't be done.
A good trick in cutting material like plastic or hard rubber is to turn the blade around on your circular/table saw so that the teeth aren't aggressively biting into the material. This used to be common when cutting vinyl siding, but newer blades may make this obsolete. You can also try a masonry/tile cutting blade that has no teeth. Probably gonna see some smoking in this case though.

I find that an interesting tip...my husband a general contractor and all. Not sure he's heard of that one. Will have to ask him. He does his own siding...and doesn't sub it out.
 
Sorce is a city boy...don't want to be around when he drops pole and heads out to the farm to try milking a horse!

I ain't too city.
I just live here.

I rid a bull once. I'm country as hell!

Saw these at Menards (see new thread)
For 10 bucks...I think....

Thought of this Thread....

And how good of an idea this is.

I keep over looking the part in this tread attached. Of any mention of boot trays. Am I having very deep rooted blonde moment or what!?!
*That I'm an Auburn gal...makes it even more humorous saying that in my minds eye. A favorite saying of mine...had a guy friend swear to my husband I'm a natural blonde. From hearing over the years my statement...my husband in formed him...no,she's not a blonde,they went round and round on it....which he got the last laugh after saying..."I am her husband...TRUST ME...she is not,nor ever was a natural blonde." Lol they all looked at me. Let's just say I'm glad I was sitting down. Because my lap area was hidden by the large table we sat at or surely all eyes would have been cast downward where the topic at hand went (A table group of us...eating before we went to see TSO.)

SoOoOooo about those boot trays. :D
