Real men of genius

@eddieC thanks. I stole it too. It gets it out of the way.

I had a real men of genius moment tonight. I am remodeling my bathroom to help the house sell faster and I needed to move this huge cabinet inside from the shop by myself. Well the dolly is busted and I was going to just bear hug it and walk it in. Then I remembered the old pressure washing cart that I had kept in the shop for moving things around. Like a glove!

One of my hose reel handles fell off going down the road. So I had to improvise this weekend since nobody was open to buy a replacement lol. This was the best I could do with that I had but hey it worked!

Where do you get your H stakes? Best I’ve found has been a seller on amazon for a little under $1 per piece

I hope you sanded the edges. Maybe get a pool noodle to wrap the inside edge? :smile:

I looked all over a few weeks back for stakes. I ended up getting the 30" and were about $.80 a piece if you buy 100.

Next time I’m getting the 24" “H” style because I think they’re a little sturdier since they are 10" wide versus 6". You can get the 24" for about $.75 a piece. I thought the 30" would keep the sign closer to eye level while driving but you only gain like 3" compared to the 24" just because of how much more goes into the ground. I got mine on ebay but the same seller sells on Amazon.

Thanks. What’s the sellers name? Is that with shipping?

As I type this I’m realizing just how much of a cheap a** I am. This type of stuff does add up though. I rarely make it back to pick them up so they get trashed mostly.

I hear you. It’s not that big of deal if you buy 100 but, for every 1000, you’re talking about saving hundreds of dollars.

The seller on ebay is savadi138 but that was for the 30" with the 10" top and 6" base. I’d recommend the 24" “H” or even the 30" “H” style. Don’t get the style of the picture I posted above. Don’t just look at the height because a lot them are only 6" wide. Make sure you get the 10" wide. Seems like all come out to around $85 whether they charge for shipping or if they offer free shipping.

I’ll be getting these next time. They are $80 including shipping. You’re closer to TX so shipping might be even less for you.
