I have one pell at work and one at home.

At work I have 4 chairs, 2 columns of 2 back to back and I put them on the table. I used them for targetting as I move around them.
At home I have a cement bucket with a pole in it.
If I have not seen as far as others, it is because there were giants standing on my shoulders.

This is basically what I plan on making, but I worry about water collecting in the tires if left out.

Water does definitely collect in it. I'm pretty sure a couple of holes drilled in the low points would solve the issue.

Such an easy solution I never thought of it.

Hah... it was dead,... but then with all that clothe material and rains... it grew life forms.

But these postings have helped me greatly! I've moved on to wood and tire. Pics... oh yah... pics...
