TOAK, The Thread of All Knowledge Part XIII

Really pretty simple. I had a friend who worked for a pipe and tubing company. He made me a deal on a length of 2" sch 40 pipe and 1-1/2" sch 40 pipe. Got a reducer and ordered a pully mount that fit the 1-1/2" pipe. Had a friend with a power auger bore a 4' deep hole and placed 3" PVC pipe in the ground with a little bit of gravel and some pre-mixed cement. Then had our shop machine a 2" hole in an end cap that was placed on top of the PVC pipe in the ground. Then machined cap onto the pole, then set pole into the ground and tapped the cover onto the PVC. The 2" pipe is 20ft, I cut the 1-1/2 to about 8ft. so I have about 23-25' tall pole. Flags go up the week or two before Memorial Day and come down after Veterans Day.
I have a question.... I just noticed the 5 small stars at the bottom of the TOAK thread. What are those and when did they get placed???

Having a machine shop make reducers for a flag pole assembly and having a 4 foot hole bored in the ground is simple?

The five stars is a thread rating score.
Has no one in the PNW told you that flying an American flag advertises your attachment to right wing values such as “America First” and the Second Amendment? You will be ostracized!

I had the wall mount flag for a while. But I wanted something to let me run all my colors up!!!
And, when I did this 25 or so years ago, I was younger and dumber and had the "facilities" available to me!! Still flying loud and proud!!
