A Friend of Mine...

...eats a lot of peanut butter. Not just any kind of peanut butter, specifically Adams peanut butter with nothing else in it but peanuts, and maybe a pinch of salt. Apart from the quality of the contents, the thing about this particular brand is the nice big blocky glass jars used to package it.
Yesterday when frantically washing up the dishes prior to the missus' return, I encountered an Adams empty myself (alas, we are also afflicted) and started pondering how many uses of these empty 1kg jars there must be. There are all the old classics like rock collections, nut and bolts and kitchen supplies, but the one I'm more interested in is the idea of using them to make glass walls in a greenhouse.
Before I fully commit to hair brained idea number 5,689 I'm curious about how many other Adams nut butter munchers there are on the island, and how many potential "suppliers" I might be able to line up for the next several years. (roughly 1,200 bottles needed for a single 8'x8' panel). This construction project won't begin for a couple of years, so there is plenty of time to build up a supply.
The design I have in mind would have two jars joined end to end to create a 13" thick wall with two separate sealed air chambers, so I am looking only for this specific jar.
Please let me know if you would be interested in helping with this project. I would need:
- Washed and dried Adams 1kg peanut butter jars AND lids. Labels removed would be wonderful but not necessary. Even if the paper is mostly off, I could remove the glue residue in a batch process later on.
- Pickup or drop-off would be organized 2 or 3 times a year. (Less if you are ok to store for me)
- Please respond by email or text message, and I will let you know if the project is going ahead or not.
Adams is available in at least 4 types: crunchy, smooth, salted and unsalted.
This is not an advertisement for Adams peanut butter. But it kinda is.
Thanks in advance
