I had never seen such a construction before, but it was brilliant, so when I found a secret stash of unused rebar and wire ties, I was stoked about it! Rebar rods and the various kinds of wire and wire ties are all very expensive to purchase, so finding them all on my property was as good as gold to me.
When we moved into this place it was a handyman’s heaven. A nice twelve acre plot of land with an old, but sturdy two story ranch house surrounded by a half dozen outlying buildings. There was a lot to work with, but a lot of work needed done. The main house was still in terrific shape, but the other buildings were succumbing to the passage of time, and the elements. Several of the shacks and sheds were in such a dilapidated state that they had to be torn down before anyone got hurt going inside them. The chicken coop was surprisingly strong, thanks to a framework of rebar rods and wire ties.

Rebar rods and the various kinds of wire and wire ties are all very expensive to purchase, so finding them all on my property was as good as gold to me. Now I had the raw materials to rebuild and re-enforce several of the smaller structures, using the strength and durability of rebar and wire ties to replace the rotting wood beams. Rebar rods and wire ties are so expensive to purchase because they basically last forever. You get what you pay for, as the old saying goes, and when you pay for rebar rods and wire ties you get something that will last you forever plus a day. Except in this case, I got them all for free!
