I'm guessing that this Monkey Solution is not up to current California Earthquake Code.
But at least the damn thing is no longer hanging at my exact head height, taking up half the garage, and spilling sand all over your face when the wind sways it the slightest bit and some earthly force compels you to look straight up at it.
BTW - does anyone want a kayak? It's yours for 100 bucks or best offer. You pick the thing up. And get it off that shelf somehow. Without breaking my shit.
