$2500 Lowes cash contest

what is the contest?

dont count your chickens before they hatch.

its just a drawing and no one shops at the Lowes near me haha...but me and my friend have like 300 dollars in a summer setup fund so far so what would be something new and cool i could build

$300!?!?!

We built our box for $80, and we went all out. Couldve been made for $40, and we couldve made a drop in for around $40 or less.

You just need to be creative with what you have.

we wanna do somethin that hasnt been done...like that one kid who made a stairset summer setup

then go to your local junkyard and see if you can make anything out of something there. if not make a box out of old skis.

What a waste of money. Give it to your parents for household repairs. I made my set ups for free. Then again. I'm intelligent and can manage money.

im with  you on this. fuck if it was me, id buy a house(which i was looking to do, and have the money saved for a down payment and i already got aproved for a mortgage, WITHOUT needing a co signer), use that money to put into the house and flip it. bam, money. that was my plan for a long time, im not going to get into details but im not a stupid guy, i manage my money very well for being 19.  I have so much material for free that would go into a house that me and my dad acquired for free from renos and stuff. like old windows, you know how everything now a days is cheap plastic, well wood cased windows are way better. I got an entire house's windows and doors, one door was an insulated garage door, plastic not even torn off for some reason, all that for 150$ the door alone is almost worth double that. all the windows need to have done is stripped and re painted and caulked and they will be as good as new, infact the windows they took out are better then the ones they put in, so go figure. some people just cant play they money game.

so moral of the rant, go out and look for material, learn to be resourceful and not so wasteful. Id check out construction jobs that are finishing up, watch for out of town companies, as left over material which is already payed for in the contract, is just easier to get rid of for next to nothing or free. just last month i got 8 pre-fab rafters for a garage, for FREE! i could build a pretty good setup with that, and only need two of them. FYI a rafter is basically a tri angle. so sheet that in ply wood, add some lexane and bam, box. cheap to build, other then lexane

We're gunna look for free stuff but we wanna build one or two nice PVC rails and a quality drop in. All the rest of the money were just gunna split

Buy a sweet generator and lights setup for urban.

i got some free temporary water main pipe, its kinda flexy a bit, unlike pvc, this shit was like 15ft sections, and maybe 150ft was all getting thrown out. i got a few sections and il probably end up making a rail for wake skis or something since they dont have metal edges, of course.

i guess this

yeah cept where is he gonna FIND turf?

When golf courses re-do practice putting greens they give it away.

holy shit

^not the ones in PA. I called the ones near me and said they keep it. WHY!? PA people are stingy

a top knotch drop in with flat rail and flat down box, complete with work lights, gear storage on the bottom, and jump. make it seem expensive

 If nobody shopped at that lowes, that lowes wouldnt exist.

Courses dont just resurface greens. That would be $$$$$, tuff grass isnt cheap.

build your parents a new deck. Think how much money they spend on you every day of your life. Use what you need for the basic stuff then give it to your parentals.... just my thoughts

i swear, kids are fucking retarded on here. i made my backyard set up for 60, only because i had to buy turf. i searched so hard to find free turf but no where had it and was willing to part with it. every other part of it was free though

The country club a half mile from my house resurfaces their greens every three years.

AND recycle the old wood to make your setup, its a win win!

dont egg your counts before they chicken.
