I usually just read and don't post on journals either...

The wooden spools can often be found for free by looking on Craigslist or in your local newspaper. Also, you can call cable companies to see if they have any of them laying around. I saw some in a field one day and stopped at the business next door (who owned the field) ... they gave me all I wanted for free as they just wanted to get rid of them. One of the things I've learned regarding the wooden spools... get the ones with wooden middles, not paper/cardboard ones. The goats love to eat the paper off them and the weather slowly deteriorates them.

I have different sizes of them with 2x10's nailed between them making 'bridges' for the goats to walk across. For the taller spools I have 2x10s with cross bars nailed to them attached as ramps. The goats can easily scamper up with the cross bars/wood if they can't jump up onto them.

Start calling around. My company loves it when I take things like those wooden spools and big wooden crates out of here. They have to pay to have it hauled away.

....It's past your birthday. When's Hank's? Or Elf's? We can get one for one of their birthdays!! :lol:

Unless YOU want one to play on...then you're going to have to wait a year until your birthday again. Sorry.

Do they make the spools out of rubber or that heavy black plastic? I wouldn't mind one or two of them. It seems to me that they would really last!
