stevasaurus 23,063 #8051 Posted yesterday at 09:19 PM Mike, as you may know, those are used in phone company and power company implications. Lucky for you, those companies usually through them out, but some states reuse them and log the reel numbers and seek out where they have dissappeared to. I have had a couple of them and have had Security show up and inquire about how I received them. They took them away and did not press any charges...but the warning was there. I'm sorry, I can't scam you any longer! The reel looks great and will last a life time. I did work for Ill Bell and the ones I have came from Com Ed. No one will visit you and ask about the reel. They do make excellent lawn furnature and last forever. The cardboard ones had drop wire and such on them. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HyperPete 487 #8052 Posted yesterday at 09:28 PM I bought the wood for the "frame" for Donna's garden. Ouch! It cost almost as much as my 414-8 and the tiller for it, combined. The 4x6s were wet, and the Honda Ridgeline was squatting a bit carrying them home. Tomorrow I hope to cut them to size, and then till the lawn that will become garden. Finally, I'll bring in topsoil & mushroom soil & till that together with the soil under the grass before framing the garden with the 4x6s. My shoulders already hate me! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Snagged this small wooden wire reel the other day with a real wood core, most of the time the reels have a cardboard core. Found leftover stain in the basement and slapped some on.! She’s ready to hold my cold snacks next time we do out sittin thing Your not a true electrician unless you have a "Spool Table" once in your life! Friend of mine's Dad was a commercial electrical contractor. Did mostly factories and plants. Built large control panels. Well my friend got an apartment and the only furniture in it was his bed a couch, 4 lawn chairs and this giant wooden wheel table. 8 guys could play poker on it! Well as time went by when he came home from work he would empty his pockets of wire nuts , screws , wire ties ect onto the table. Eventually there was so much stuff on it yo had a hard tie looking across it. One day I came over and it was all cleaned up. I asked him where everything went and he said his father ran out of wire nuts at the shop! 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 70,710 #8055 Posted 13 hours ago Been super busy around the house the last few days as usual. We've been talking about cutting the sides down on the trailer. They are now 26 inches tall on the inside. Trina took the opportunity to try out her new spray gun. Definitely a learning curve but she's adapting to it quickly. Since this picture was taken she has repainted some of the black areas and we've replaced the lights and wiring harness. All new Grote brand LED setup. NOS from ebay. This tree is something we've been talking about snapping off for a couple years now. Sits right beside the house. Yesterday she sliced It Off a few feet above the ground and then built a platform feeder for it. She also reset one of our house guards in place. 3 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
