Les Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 I have to look a couple of times before I realized what the cylinders were. There was approx 10 running feet of non bearing wall along a staircase. Nice recycle but not real strong!

Les Posted January 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 Ben, my boy you are far too young to know what they are. Could be that Kurt may not know. Bill K always knows and that is why we do not invite him to your house for dinner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Baird Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 When my grandaddy poured a concrete front porch on his home in the 1920's he threw a coil bedspring into it, to take advantage of the wire. You could see it from underneath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les Posted January 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 ya ya, but most were Ray o vac and couple were Everedy! This was on a job that another company was doing. They were mitigating all the awful lead based paint in the entire house (house value = $10,000) for a mere $13,000. No mention of the pure lead in the concrete!

John Kogel Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 Thanks, Bill and Les. I knew I'd seen similar junk before, but couldn't place them. Yeah, I hacked a few of those apart when I was a stupid kid. Probably am still packing lead, along with the mercury and asbestos from those days.

We used to take #12 copper wire, coil it completely around a 16d nail, and hook both ends of the wire to the dry cell. Made a neat magnet.

Les Posted January 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 What year was that wall poured? Likely around 1941. Just at the beginning of material shortages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
