Randy might be right. With all of your creative juice, a welder would get good use!
You are right about the 'junk'. I used to decorate for mom every year after she couldn't anymore. Although I'd store them every year, even Christmas lights became impossible to try to pick through and repair. I'd get all frustrated, put them back in the box with intentions to get to them in warmer weather, and pick up some new cheap ones. After the holidays though they'd end up stashed in the back of her storage cabinet never to come out until the next season. EGAD!!! They're in my basement now.
What a lot of landfill, they could be...ORRR....maybe I will get to them in warmer weather
