Default 3D Home Address Numbers
I used to have 4 inch tall numbers at the end of my driveway,, NO ONE could see them,,,
I even tried different colors,, that did not help,,

We were at Michael's one night, and they had some 12 inch tall steel numbers on clearance,, PERFECT!!

I needed a 6 and a 5,,, they had the 5,, but, I had to settle for a 9,,, up side down,

Well, some one inch solid steel bar, some inch and a half steel bar,,, and an old backhoe bucket,,,
(yes, that is Valspar Cub Cadet yellow paint on the bucket,,)
I ended up with a 3D house address number that no one has missed when they drive up to the house!! LOL!!







I sill need some landscape fabric, and some mulch,,,

Do I need to add anything??

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
