Thought you would get a kick out of my bosses latest find. He was checking out a job that we are getting ready to start in a couple of weeks. (The two story vault move.) The place they are moving it too is also getting a new refigeration unit. They are cutting the concrete floor up for the refrigeration lines and getting rid of it. He gladly took it off their hands.
I thought of you as soon as I saw these slabs. Your one of the few people that would apreciate a find like this.I was at the shop welding up a safe for myself today and thought I’d take a couple of pics for you to drool over.

So, those are slabs of concrete all stickered up? What will they be used for?
Stickerd up? I think he's going to use them for fill on one of his farm.

Precast garages!
lol dude you kow it... they would be at my lake house. new flood wall... might even make a precast ramp...
the coast guard has a system of bank stablization that consists of concrete slabs connected by wire cable.. they "roll them up" then roll em out on a bank
i have passed on things gifted for the last year or so ..just so i can get my deal finished up...

I think he's going to use them for something like that. He has some sort of project going on with a creek. I don't know anything about it but he had some old island ATM's that he wanted to get rid of they were the old ones that are reinforced concrete. He took them out there and dumped them. He may be building his own creek for all I know.
I'd like to see the archeologist in a couple thousand years that dig that stuff up. Talk about a puzzle of stuff that doesn't fit. LOL

with floatation they made a great floating dock... all the really nice floating docks/boatslips are usually cast concrete...
i think the weight makes them more stable?
I have learned i need to use it before i have to move it 2x or it just ain't worth it..usually
p
Makes sense about the stability.
I've adopted the same clutter policy. Works much nicer in the garage.

He doesn't pack rat anymore he's learned to do something with it right away. He used to store it and forget about it. Then he finaly got wise and figured out he had to keep it moving or it would consume him. LOL

Now I think I'll keep on walking.

I do, and she has an adorable craftsman cottage.
The real Laura
Well, invite her over here then.
A cottage is sometimes just a fancy shed.
It was a cute little craftsman shed - F. doubled it for her a few years back. Now it probably just makes the "cottage" cut.
Is she single?
Yes
2.) Has she been known to be a dumpster diver?
She has been known to partake of the fruits of other divers' labors, but, I regret she hasn't been begiled by the actual diving, herself.
alas, and I had such high hopes.
To be involved in the eclectic collectic community is not for the faint of heart or one disposed to a bridle of blinkers.
Yes, I understand your disappointment. What is any relationship not built upon a firm foundation of dumpster diving?
It is only true.
Reminds me of a few years back where a lady I was working for was driving me to a bank or somewhere when on the way back she asks if I would mind a quick stop along the way for a second.
I said sure no problem and she whips in this alley behind a store where she knew the owner,
proceeds out of the van and hangs in over the side of the dumpster to check for any new goodies.
Cracked me up. Still does just thinking about it.
I suppose you just stayed seated and didn't offer to help the lady ??
yep, just sat there like a bump on a log enjoying the view.

My oldest was very embarrassed once when I was trolling around in one of the big dumpsters by her school. It had great new construction material, nice long 2x for my garden.
F. tends to get over enthusiastic. I've had to send back kid toys covered in not nice stuff occasionally.
I've found that hitting an auction at the right time can usually keep my yayas occupied
and this past year haunting the neighborhood Lowes for bargains has managed to cut back the auction endeavors quite a bit.
But sometimes auctions become unbelievable.
Unbelievable I say, unbelievable.
I'm not cross, I just have pouty lips
