    So I acquired this flagpole a few months back. Buddy said it came from a bank and was headed to the scrap yard. Price was right at free. Finally got it in place yesterday. 20210809_174741.jpg 20210809_180806.jpg

    That is the year and month we moved there. Parents built the place in 78 so its always been home. They went full time to their place in Florida in 17. I'm grateful to have been able to purchase it.
