Very nice use of PVC pipe and conduit.  I would venture that one of the piping companies could probably pay your royalties for displaying all of your uses of PVC.  I love the trap idea, I just got done making some arches for fans and I wound up using epoxy re bar for the bottoms so I could get a bend for the center (luckily for me the re bar "fell off the back of a truck" from one of my jobsites).  However, if I saw those prior I wouldn't be nursing a sore back right now from bending the #5 re bar, I think I will be freebasing some Bayer for the next week.

I still love the candy cane poles the mostest!

Specs on your truck would be good too,  size of the bucket, how much reach, how long it would take for you to drive from your house to my house around holiday season so my lights could reach new heights etc...  <res.

I am getting ready to design a PVC Bellagio/ Barber Pole out of PVC using smart strings as lights.  I can then make it look like a spinning Barber pole, spinning Candy cane or a fountain.  It will be 6’ tall made with 2” Sch40 with 2@2” to 4” reducers on each end.  I will screw hooks into the reducers to hang the Strings on.  The whole device will slide over a 5’ Fence post driven into the ground. The reason to go with the 2’ PVC is to give the round barber pole effect.  Let me know what you think masters of PVC.
