I scrounge. Like a cur that can't be broken of raiding the cat box for cat
nuggets, I scrounge.
A local dirt pit went out of business. They have a boneyard that is
amazing. I wanted some industrial screen to make a garden sifter out of.
I
also got lots of plate, pipe, and various "stuff". Rollers, pillow
blocks,
good "stuff".
They had some collars that are galvanized steel, 40" in diameter, and
about
18" wide. They band around galvanized lightweight culverting or tem****ary
pipe. There were about a dozen of them. I returned with one load of
plate
and screen and various steel, and one of the collars.
Well, Wifey saw it, and wanted all the rest to make tree rings. They're
split and easy to use for tree rings. Weld two together, and you have a
raised garden bed. So, she changes her clothes, and off we go to get
another load of scrounge. While there, someone had cut down a large tree,
and made the rounds about 18" long. Much of it had been split. So, we
filled the bed of the truck with firewood in every little nook and cranny.
There's a lot more left, and there's always tomorrow. I need about eight
foot of eight inch pipe for my 4th of July and New Year's propane cannon.
This canyon is gonna ROCK!
