Love it.

Was there still beer in the Hamms box?

[Mike Lamb]

I didn't look but it was one of my more interesting crawls. The interior structure was all held up by barrels and whatever else was handy. Some had concrete in them. Some didn't.

Not barrels, nail casks. At one time, they were as ubiquitous on a job site as cardboard boxes are today. I also occasionally see them filled with concrete & used as piers

Now that Jim has mentioned it, I remember following my father into Wilson & Eaton's hardware in Amenia, NY as a small child and watching the old man grabbing handfuls of nails from rows of those casks lined up and labeled, dropping them onto a scale where the clerk would then dump them into a cloth sack.

S'funny how certain words, phrases, photo's can trigger long-lost memories.
