Dear Spiro:
I would suggest a trip to your local scrap metal yard in search of a solid
steel shaft that would fit down in the pipe. A solid shaft which is a couple
of inches in diameter would leave a large dent in any vehicle which attempted
to run it over.
Yours Truly,
Clifford Wilson

Subject: [BlindHandyMan] clothes line pole
Hi,
I have a ?heavy? metal pipe with a 4 spike cap that is used for a clothes
line.
My neighbor across the drive likes his alcohol consumtion; and he has quie
dented another neighbor's fence. He got a big SUV and ran down the pole.
It is bigger and heavier than the 2.5 inch in our chain link fence in
front.
But I've not measured it yet.
Here's what I want to do; check it out and let me know if I'm on the right
track.
There's a pipe in the ground, cemented and flush with the driveway. The
pipe with the 4 spike cap, fits down into that. Part of this is broken off
into the bigger pipe.
Somehow I have to get that out.
I then want to get a piece of the same size, 2ft down and 2ft above ground
and cement it. I'd like to then get the same size as the pipe that is in
the ground, and cement that. I could then drop the final clothes pole into
that and have cement and double piping up to about 4ft and make it more
durable and memorable than the one he destroyed by driving 5 feet onto my
driveway and breaking it for me.
Wife says that hang dry is faster, and is obviously cheaper; so I need a
very durable solution.
Wife wants to wimp and drag a solitary standing unit in and out every day.
Not good enough for me.
Thoughts, advice, help?
Thanks
