Duck Pond Redneckery


and i'll just bet, you did all that in 27 months LESS than @Duck could ever build something.~!!!!
Ya I went to dry fit it after I got the thrower and the steel.... said Houston we got a problem!! That thing's designed for a wood post and they're 3 1/2 by 3 1/2 :bonk:

So, time to break out the oxyacetylene, burn a 1/2" outta all 4 sides and weld it back together. Been usin that setup at that range for about 20 years now :thumbsup-80:
 
Well that was a pain in the ass but I was able to do it myself.

I didn't get over 45 mph the whole way home because I didn't want too much wind pressure on that box.

Although I did do the requisite yank on the strap and say out loud "that ain' goin' nowhere".

Now I don't know WTF to do with the old one. Gonna call the garbage disposal company tomorrow.

Damn your strap is even color coordinated with the truck. You fancy.

Appliance companies will come get them from you. Free of charge.
 
Sure... its included in the delivery charge :headscratch2:
Actually talking about used appliance stores. I’ve always called them to come get my broken stuff. It’s a gamble for them. Might be able to fix it, might be able to use parts off of it, or might have to end up junking it themselves.

I don't know if we have used appliance stores around here. This isn't Arkansas.

But hopefully they will take my old rusted out water heater too. I'm sick of looking at it on my back porch.

It's a handy place to set my beer down when I'm taking a leak, and right now it's keeping my cilantro and oregano plants off the ground where they're slightly closer to the sun. But I'd rather have it gone.

Garbage man won't take it because he's too much of a wuss to lift it up into the truck.

There is more near you than near me. I would post the search results, but then people may be able to track you down
Enough places around there for 8X10 color glossy pictures with arrows and circles and a description on the back he doesn’t need to take it to a junk yard

1) call a junk collector in your area, they haul for free and reap the money at the scrap yard

2) take it to a scrap yard yourself, and get the few dollars

3) your state may have a metals recycling yard, strictly for appliances, where you can take it there as well
