As a kid, I remember our parents always having a galvanized bin sitting in the home office! Dad would fill it with coal & bring it in at evening, so every one of us could keep the home office fire going. He said that galvanized buckets last longer because they are pretty much moisture proof. Now it seems that you can buy entirely little that is galvanized, except galvanized rebar tie wire. I was curious if galvanized rebar tie wire was what made ties stiff. My dad had a tie that stuck at the top of his color. I knew I was entirely being a bit facetious when I asked him; The complication was that I never saw him smile anymore. Ever since mom passed, he was always sad, but although I was sure I new what galvanized rebar tie wire was since our partner & I owned a farm, it made our dad smile. I asked him if he wanted to come to the farm over the weekend. I could use someone to drive the tractor while I threw the hay bales up into the wagon. My partner was away on maneuvers, & someone had to bale the hay before it rained again. My dad joined myself and others that weekend, & together every one of us brought over 100 bales of hay into the barn. He looked at the wire I was using to tie the bales & told myself and others that was galvanized rebar tie wire. I congratulated him on knowing, & went for a shower, by the time I came back downstairs, he had dinner started, & looked happier than I had seen him in months.
