Able to get the rebar for my art project
Until just recently I didn’t suppose that rebar was a upscale resource for artists & sculptors. I don’t suppose anything about art, I am a red collar type of lady. I prefer motion pictures & TV of course, however never cared much for plays or museums. I had a opportunity encounter with a lady named […]

Almost didn’t get my rebar rods and wire ties
The lifeblood of this country can be found in the trucking & shipping industry. The two of us don’t get a lot of press or attention, however quietly behind the scenes the truckers are the people that keep this country working.

The plastic coated wire ties are great
The supply chain is so vital to everything we do in this country. When I say everything I mean every last little thing.

Where should I put all the wire tie

Wire ties available
To me treasure comes in all shapes & sizes! A few weeks ago I was down in the southern end of the state, a few fourths from home, & I found the biggest treasure yet. When people hear the word “treasure” they no doubt conjure up mental images of gold & jewels. In the real […]

Our chicken could use some rebar
My family regularly kept chickens in the backyard. Just a dozen parakeets or so, enough to supply us with eggs & keep the yard looking well groomed. Eventually I decided that they deserved a chicken coop. This would be more convenient for the parakeets, help them supply more, & better, eggs, & allow us to […]

How did we find rebar
The home was a fixer-upper, & we knew that going in; Jessie & I had been yearning for a home of our own, so we could stop renting a tiny apartment, & we got our opportunity at a local property auction. For a fraction of what a home costs we were able to purchase a […]

Looking at wire coils
Anyone who has cable TV, has entirely watched Forged in Fire, or at least heard about it. People use rebar, stainless steel wire coils, & any other type of metal they can find, to forge knives in a 1000 degree forge. My granddaughter saw the show & continued to watch it every day on Netflix. […]
