Anyone else a fan of this show? Have you ever been on the interstate and seen the huge cement culverts being trucked along or waiting by the freeway to be used in new road construction? I wonder what just one or two of those costs? Let’s say you had a spot of land…Would frost heave really move one of those monsters? How about standing it on end? Could you place it on its side in a shallow trough and pour cement inside the culvert to level off and still have the diameter/height of your average ranch home? Not talking suburban home here, just a DIY getaway? Can you drill thru the wall of one those? I’m just a dreamer, not a realist, but join me in speculating about this?http://www.il-concretepipe.org/sculver1.htm

It'd be great if you got it as a second at an auction. But then you got to haul the thing.
Reminds me of an auction last year. Very large new inground fiberglass pool on a flatbed trailer. Multiple auctioneers all going at the same time. All day. Had to leave early. Later on found out the pool sold for $50 bucks. Guy would deliver it for a buck a mile. I thought of my dream of a small lake out back.
Another auction story of the one that got away. In a redo and out of needed storage space. A household moving auction in the country comes up. Buddy wants me to help move a table he bought to his truck when the auctioneer moves out back to sell the rows of stuff. In the time it takes to walk that table to his truck I return to find out they had just sold an 8x20 construction/office trailer on dual axles, tires up,good shape, air conditioner in a window, two doors and wire cages inside floor to ceiling with locking cage doors. $150 bucks. I coulda cried.
