Very cool...back in the day, I used to spend my college summers and winters working for a company that refloored the naval ships moored in Norfolk and Portsmouth. I was a tile cutter and we had plenty of pipes, etc to cut around and we completed it using very similar techniques.

I figgered out the schtick, Stone...it's the half-toilet's design, which is not conducive to the traditional round plunger (see how it folds over ineffectually when applied). Not saying this guy's contraption won't work, but it ain't magic...MUD

BTW...all the fence boards I have ever purchased from Lowe's or Home Depot consists of chemically-treated stuff to discourage rot. Does this make this false advertising or clickbait?

I guess you have never bought the cedar boards, which that is.

#87: Mudboy Slim To: A K A Stone (#86)

You are correct...the lion's share of privacy fences built in Richmond, VA utilize pressure-treated, dog-eared, 6-foot, yellow pine 1x6 boards. Cedar fences exist, of course, but I'm not sure they are readily available at Lowe's and Home Depot. Definitely sure they don't carry cedar 2x4s and 4x4s for the structure.

Still, the dude provides value with his craftmanship more than the concept...MUD

Here in Ohio Lowes, Home Depot, and Menards carry Cedar wood. Menards is the only one that has 2x4's etc. They have the most and best wood.
