Building a Flagpole.

[gnihcraes]

So I've been a bad American for years, usually not putting up the flag on the days I should etc. I did find my flag though, and it's in rough shape. I'll have to get a new one. Guess it should be disposed of properly and I guess that would be done at (elks? american legion? VFW?)??

So...

I want to build a flagpole on my property. Hopefully the city won't find out and give me a bunch of code violation crap. I'm going to give it a shot with these directions and materials found here:

Not promoting the business, it's just nice to see they give you directions, material suggestions and kits to purchase to finish it up. I appreciate that.

and with this kit of parts if I get the rest of it up:

Thought some others might want the information to try it.

You're not in a covenet controled neighbrhood are you? They may harass you more than the city would.

no covenant, just old grumpy nosey people. Hopefully all veterans.... worst case, I just made a great hole in the ground to hide ammo.

... got the hole dug, got the concrete tube ready, just double checking my plans and will pour concrete in the next hour or two...

Ask a local Boy Scout troop to properly dispose of the American Flag. When I was in Boy Scouts, every year we would take a camping trip to the Air Force Academy and we would properly dispose of old American Flags there.


You should also put a light on the top so you can fly the American Flag all day and all night.

Doesn't have to be on top, The flag just has to be illuminated..

Solar powered garden spot lights work well for this. Not to bright to annoy neighbors. They are easily found at any local walmart type garden center.
