    not sure if it is a cheap thrill but we have taken such a large market share of our business that the only other "competitor" called and asked us to buy them out before they have to lock the doors. This would give us about an 80% share.

    This might fit the "what are you proud of" thread too ?

    My hand made genuine redneck cherry tomato trellis that actually looks cool. Made with genuine Chinese zip ties, ripped down pallet slats and shelving wire. Lol

    Those tomatoes got big this year and I love looking at that setup. It looks all artsy fartsy! image.jpg

    I found these left at the dumpster at work. They are cast iron pipe fittings, before they were machined out. Each one weighs about 12 pounds. I know they are basically scrap, but they will be new mini benchtop anvils for small metal work. A little grinder work and a nice wood base and they will be good to go. Free iron. :dex:

    That's a pretty neat find and a good repurpose for them.
