Will this work?

Once I figure how to get this stupid light off I can attach my mill. Hey, maybe I can put one on the other side too!!

What's wrong? That looks like a sturdy tower and ladder to me...

After you're finished putting 2 gennies on your new tower, then you can put a third one on your ladder and mak some power while driving.

I have gone out to buy some more parts for the 34 foot blades I'm building, but I'm still having trouble getting the materials home

The stupidity of some people in this world
never fails to amaze.
This picture is real - not doctored in anyway - and was taken in Waldorf Maryland by a Transportation Supervisor for a company that delivers building materials for 84 Lumber. When he saw it in the parking lot of IHOP, he went and bought a camera to take pictures.

The car is still running as can be witnessed by the exhaust. A woman is either asleep or otherwise out in the front seat passenger side. The guy driving it was over jogging up and down on Rt. 925 in the background. The witnesses said their physical state was OTHER than normal and the police just shook their heads in amazement. The driver finally came back after the police were there and was getting down at the back to cut the 'twine around the load. They told him to get back until it was taken off.

The materials were loaded at Home Depot. Their store manager said they had the customer sign a waiver! Both back tires are trashed. The back shocks were driven up through the floorboard. In the back seat were 10 bags, 80 lbs. each of concrete. On the roof are many 2X4s, 4X4s and sheets of OSB. They estimated the load weight at 3000 lbs. The car is a VW Jetta with FL plates and the guy said he was headed for Annapolis.

JUST UNBELIEVABLE!!!!
(Are these the same people who couldn't follow the instructions on the FL punch ballots?)

I know what you mean about materials though woof. Everytime I go out I feel like I get more than I can handle. Especially for the horse power of my vehicle.

Strangely enough the first time I saw that photo it was posted at the loadout area of a Home Depot in Edmonton Alberta. Fair warning I guess.
