Title: Recycle old tires? Really?
Post by: Linda on April 07, 2013, 12:18:01 PM: Someone posted this picture on facebook...I think they look really cool. Would like to have some down the hill near the river by my place.

We just stacked some tires at the barn yesterday and pondered what to do with them. Off to send a photo to the boss. He'll love it as he is from the far south. He's also good at tinkering with things like this.

Oh man. I am already making plans to place these around the barns of friends. There will be a payback, but it will be worth it.

Very, very realistic!

She'd love it!

A pack of big black alligators would also make good deterrents, and obstacles, for two-legged varmints who might take an interest in my place.

I looked at the ones we have and think there are only two that would look halfway decent as alligators. I'd like to make some of the tree swings that are cut to be shaped like horses and give them to people with kids and grandkids.
