Both my grandsons under the age of 2 have already figured out hoe to get past these so they are useless in this house.

tank will be filled in due time, I have a day job to deal with which tends to slow down my progress. By Jan 1 it will be full, running and finished ( i hope )

damn if I had to buy enough of these for the tank and the new kitchen it would be almost $1000. Since the boys have figured out the other ones already they have also learned that if they go in the cupboards they might get a little paddle on the arse and neither of them like that idea. without a doubt 2 of the smartest little ankle bitters I have seen in a long time, oldest one even knows what screw driver to use on almost all the different screws.

Do an eBay search and pick one with free shipping. I had found them for 10$ a piece when I got them

Hope this helps
