New Composter

Just picked up a new Suncast Compost Tumbler at Lowes for $99.
It took me 45 minutes to assemble (while watching TV) . The tub is sturdy, 2 pieces bolted together with 20 nuts & bolts. The frame stand may be questionable. I will use it as is but eventually I think I will find myself building a new one out of pressure treated lumber. We'll see.
I also noted that the main bolts that hold the drum to the frame may fail in time. If it does stainless steel bolts will be used .

Here's a few pix.
