FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- Don Searcy was hopeful he'd received positive attention for his invention the "Bottom Feeder," a custom paint bucket that minimizes water use and clean-up.

Searcy recently returned from the National Hardware Show in Las Vegas where he received a lot of positive attention.

"Home Depot came by and in conversations with them right now of possibly going to Atlanta and doing a demonstration," Searcy says.

Searcy has just started producing the buckets and he's also receiving some interest locally in the Central Valley. He's also working on getting a patent secured.
