One man's trash is another man's treasure.

I'd love to have something like that.
A friend in Canada has a Tudor in his yard that has been used as a planter for many years. It is probably too far gone now but I'd never have wasted a car like that.

I met a guy who after 400K faithful miles on his van, the final trip was to a scrap yard that crushed it into a cube. He brought the cube home, planted it at the end of his driveway and placed a mail box on top.

Make sure it looks like art and not garbage. Wayne

I always wanted a coupe body, minus cowl, for a COFFEE CAVE, in the front yard.
I always also wanted an OUTHOUSE, Pat (RIP), always said,---well you don't want to know what she SAID!!!

An 'A' converted to a sulfur duster (Ca.). Not yard art, but creative none-the-less.
