Unusual Uses for Everyday Items

Exactly. A 320 pound pot belly stove for the porch. It likes a tall chimney.

 

This pretty much covers my manicure needs.

 

I've been using this one for years. An old road sign, and a rope (or a long red battery cable) gives me a versatile skid. Over pine needles it pulls easily, even with a load of logs on it. I call it The Carolina Pine Needle Express. Size 15 boot for scale.

This was the second and last load of my bush trimming for today. That little oak tree was in the middle of a bush and had been giving me fits for years. It's drying on the brush pile now. ;-)

In two trips we dragged all the trimmings (thorny stuff too) 30 yards to the brush pile.
You can just see the edge of the sign under the leaves.

It also works great for keeping freshly dug sand from sifting into the grass when it's necessary to dig a hole.

 

we had an old road sign we used as a table in the rabbit pin ... it made a huge table top

 

Mmmm.... maybe not.

 

tires - Ho Chi Mihn sandals...or Art.


Nails and string is Art - how about just nails?


or, gluing together some old pencils?

 

"toolbox" grill. Kinda cool

 

street person BBQ grill?

 

old 'college' stunt to boil water in pot - maybe. Cook hot dogs? Not so much, but it would work. (and ruin the iron)\

 

Beer kegs. So much fun waiting to happen when full. When empty?




sailboat hull (Japan to US with no problems)


pontoon boat


grill

 

a sleeping mat for the "homeless" knitted from trashed plastic bags. I guess with these when the bum passes out drunk/drugged, they won't be sleeping 'on the cold hard ground".

Meh - bit it seems to be a thing and it is recycling trash...

 

plastic bottle greenhouse (I've posted this before in another rhtread0

 

"hog wire" was part of a wooden fence. Marginal, as hog wire is fencing, but used as an insert...

 

hog wire + hay bales+ tarp - just add pigs. Not so unusual for a farm, but an interesting mix...

 

carried one step further, a hog shelter as "homeless housing"


I guess the 'porch' and a not of paint makes the difference...

 

Aren't there a lot of chemicals in the surface coatings? How many or how long of fires does it take to burn all that stuff off?

 

Putting 2 adjustable shop stools together to make one tall stool.
I also added all 6 wheels to the base .
Works perfectly .
