...Dude down the street wants $10 each for the things. I need about 20
Is that what they normally go for?

that's how my dad encloses his garden. works great. keep an eye on them though, they can rot prematurely from frequent garden watering (by prematurely I mean they can still last over a decade)Just sort of enclosing the garden I tilled in actually.
[Maddenvoice] Now here's a guy who knows where to find a deal on railroad ties [/Maddenvoice]I just picked up some at Ace for $8 a piece.
I just redid the garden edging at my parents house. I didn't use railroad ties specifically, but 6"x6"x8' lumber. Home depot charged a little more than 20 apiece. If they're a lil worn, and shorter than about eight feet, then 10 is about right....Dude down the street wants $10 each for the things. I need about 20

It'll be fine.Don't use them in a veggie garden.
Creasote is bad, Mmm'kay.
i don't often like emo music, but their 2nd album was great!a railroad funeral for gary coleman
the song "lowrider" just started playing in my headI got ten of them in one load check out the truck.
Mud flaps dragging the ground. Good thing those leaf springs didnt just shatter. It was a little squirrely to drive that way.
He's in Tennesseee. North Carolina gets grossed out just being next to them.i hope the petroleum product they treat those ties with doesn't contaminate the soil if you plan to use any of those plants for eating.

Jesus, what a bunch of pvssies.
These railroad ties are used and probably 20 years old...anything that was going to leach out of them probably did so long ago. No reason to get all chicken little about some hippie mumbo jumbo.
Oh no "creosote" is going to get me
F*ck.... garden's in.
I need a beer and a nap!

According to urban dictionary, no. Or at least I haven't hear too many complaints.
It hasn't but the act has crossed my mind. The retards in the shack across the street mounted that beauty on a 2x4. It deserves something.That mailbox looks like it too has been violated by a drunken Burly.
I've thought about getting one of those huge mailboxes, placing a smaller one inside and filling the gap with cement. I wouldn't care if some redneck kid broke his wrists playing mailbox baseball, I just don't want to be responsible if someone crashes into it and gets their head ripped off.my uncle had his mailbox smashed a few times by kids driving by with baseball bats. he's handy with the tools, and a crafty old stote, so he rebuilt the mailbox on a spring-loaded hinge. the next time the kids took a crack at it, it just moved out of the way and then returned itself to the factory preset location.
you could just put a plastic bag full of dog crap on the side of your box, then put a false siding bit up to cover it. then when they whack the box, they get splattered with crap. i suppose you could use pink dye too, if you wanted a less smelly option.I've thought about getting one of those huge mailboxes, placing a smaller one inside and filling the gap with cement.

or put it over his mailbox.....you unzip his pants to check the mail.Now all B.S. needs is a scarecrow, which seems like a good photoshop op. Somebody chop this into his garden.
