Sometimes, you find some really random things that just might come in handy!
So, sometimes you can find things abandoned in fields or in the woods. Recently, I found something in a cow pasture, that I’m sure the cows weren’t using. I’m still not sure what it is, or what it was used for, but here is a photo of it.
From the looks of it, it seemed like it could help me with a problem that I have been having. I inspected it and it seemed worthy of my efforts. All it needed was a little modification.
For my modification process, a Sawzall was all that I used, so that made it easy. After all, a sawzall isn’t just for making porkchops!
Soon I began making my cuts, which did not take very long, which was nice.
Eventually I had three pieces. One was the base with the wheels on it, which I did not need. The other two pieced were basically the same, but I only needed one, so I blessed @bluerthangreen with the other one.
Once I carried the heavy object back home, I set it up and it was ready to solve my problem! Just look at it, isn’t it going to be great?
THE PROBLEM
I guess if you don’t know what problem I’ve trying to solve, then you probably don’t realize how great this thing is going to work. Please allow me to show you the issue that I’m dealing with.
Yeah, with all of those @little-peppers running around and riding bikes, their bikes wind up everywhere… mostly because they have no “home.” If these bikes has an assigned parking spot, the yard would look a lot cleaner.
Let’s see how it works!
Just as I suspected, it works perfectly. The @little-peppers now have a great place to park their bikes, and the free makeshift bike rack is solid enough to last for decades! Some random junk has been recycled by repurposing it, and my yard looks a lot cleaner.
Here’s to reusing scrap items and finding great uses for them!
STEEMIT LIKE YOU MEAN IT!
Great idea way to go @papa-pepper ! It looks like it used to be a display rack for something ! Steeming on ! 😉👍
That's what I thought, but it works for bikes now too!
I had already voted on your post, so another one goes here
Lol cool thanks !😉👍
@little-peppers... What a perfect parking place for all of your bikes. Will my motorcycle fit if we bring it?
We can modify it if need be! Glad you like it Dad!
Another for you just because you are a great bloke!
Thanks!
Bravo, repurpose, recycle, and no more bicycles dropped in dirt on purpose. <3
That's right!
A very rewarding achievement!
It sure was @bitsy!
I see happy kids. Great job, dad!
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Brilliant recycling job there well done :)
Thank you, it worked out really well!
Ahh, I was gonna say bike rack,....
Good guess!
Good stuff. Your creativity posts are second to none
I heard that there is a box somewhere, but I try to think outside of it.
Did the previous paddock owner feed his cows hay /silage? . The original looked like a feedout rack. Now you can start one of the hardest things to teach kids. Tidyness is next to godleness. Without that teaching the bike rack is doomed to a short life. It is always too far away, in the wrong direction, I was late for tea,the novalty wore off etc. Have fun, don't let them see you laughing at their excuses to often.
I won't be laughing at excuses!
We will have to ask grandpa-pepper when he comes on line about some of your "perfect"excuses, reasons for not doing something. Give your kids a few years in school, they will learn how to try and b.s. dad. You have the job of not laughing at tne same things you said at their age.
One more reason to homeschool!

Nice work @ team-peppers!
Thanks, it was a great success!
All the kids' fingers, toes, noses and ears still connected?! Good^^
So far, so good!
12 fingers, 3 toes, 1 nose and 2 eyes each!
That's good to hear.
Hey wait, something doesn't add up?! What'dya do to those poor cat-paw-chicken- legged kids?!
#farm-life
Great idea! You can use the second part for barbecue))
So creative @ papa-pepper I love to repurpose goods everywhere you can
It is more fun and cheaper, plus you get to clean up someone else's mess doing it!
Ahhrrgh! I never saw that coming, Creative! I'm sure the little peppers will be excited at this new invention.
Good Stuff!!
Nice to catch you off guard, and it seems that my little ones understand how it works!
Pure genius! Nice post @papa-pepper!
#genius!
That's a fantastic re-purpose project @papa-pepper! Great find and your little peppers look so happy with their new bike rack.
They really did like it, and they helped too!
Re-use, recycle, repurpose! Well done! We should all do this and help declutter the world!
There is a lot of potential out there in junk piles, dumpsters and landfills...
True that. That's one of the things I love about living in Cambodia, nothing goes to waste here...
Great idea!
Thank you!!!
Lol! So it's we city dwellers with only 10 fingers who are missing something!
Yep... bunch of inbred city folk with 10 fingers and 10 toes... what a laugh!
Ya?! Well... Well...
Have fun shopping for 3 toed kids shoes!
So there!
Ok, you win... time for me to sleep.
Jk's^^
Take care :)

Thanks, repurposing can be very rewarding!
