I have received a reputation around my workplace as a Dumpster Diver. Many of the conversations I have with my co-workers begin like this: "Hey, Phil. We were going to throw this away. Do you want it?" Well this reputation really paid off recently when I scored these babies. Can you say, "Cha-ching!"
These are hollow plastic columns, finished to look like stone. They look awesome. These will be the posts for my cemetary fence this year. I will space them about eight feet apart with some PVC pipe panels in between. Because they are hollow, I can see myself wiring up lighting, speakers, and even fog machines inside them.
Here is a picture of one with my son added for scale. They are almost six feet tall. I scored about twelve of them. More than enough to encircle my small front lawn.
Being hollow, they make an excellent storage spot for all of the PVC pipe that I also rescued from the dumpster at work. You know, it's true what they say; it's not the pay but the perks that make a job worthwhile.
