I donated my leftover rebar to the university’s art studio

When I quit my part time handyman dealer to go back to work my old dealer full time, I had a lot of old equipment in a storage equipment that I needed to find uses for so I could get rid of the expense.

  • A lot of the storage locker was filled with containers of paint & stain of all colors, mainly from tasks I would do for local residents.

Aside from paint, I also had a lot of roofing materials because those tasks are in high demand as well. Coincidentally, my cousin was interested in becoming a handyman himself & I called him & told him to acdealer me to my storage equipment to discuss donating my remaining supplies to him. To no surprise, my cousin was ecstatic with this news & the two of us arranged a meetup time later in the week. He was amazed by the boxes of tools, paint cans, roofing materials, & wire spools that I had ready to go in the dumpster. The only supplies he didn’t take were the extra coils of rebar tie wire & the double loop ties that are stored next to them. I have traditional black carbon steel rebar tie wire, stainless steel rebar tie wire, & galvanized rebar tie wire. I even have 14 gauge up to 18 gauge rebar tie wire. After he left, I realized that I could donate the additional rebar to the local university’s art studio. When I was a student myself, my friend Jonathan used black rebar to make these amazing geometric sculptures. He used welding equipment to bend & conjoin sections of rebar, ending in appealing pieces that caught the eyes of people as far north as Toronto.
