Represent!
So I opened a christmas present early. My new chiefs flag! Suck it h-town!
Now... how to mount it. The front of my house is low all the way across with deep eaves, no peak. If I hang it on the fascia, it will stick up and look funny. I thought of hanging it between my front windows like a banner, but then it will fade unevenly because of the shadow of the eave. Now I'm thinking post in the yard, but don't want to pay up to a c-note. I'm depending on the thrift and ingenuity of my fellow planeteers! If someone reminds me how to post a big picture I'll put up a pic of the house from the street. |
Hang it from an AIDS tree
|
I don't have an aids tree, but I do have two big pine trees. I considered that but I think the squirrels will f it up.

I would just wear it over your shoulders DBowe style.
PS - If we don't go to the SB, I'm hanging it on your ass |
1. Where's the flag?
2. Chiefs Planet will now have your mailing address, work history, previous and current lovers, and blood type in 30 minutes. Go. |

I'm thinking plant it in the middle of the yard, 1 bag of concrete, and I'm thinking pvc would be the cheapest pole. Drill holes in the pvc, paint it and use heavy wire to mount the flag to it. Cap the pvc so it doesn't fill up with water. |
Put small screw hooks in the facia.
I would assume the flag has one grommet, poke a hole in the other end for the other hook. THere you go. Can post pix of mine when I get home. |
How big is it? Why not put a flag mount on one of those columns, and hang it from there?
|
Is the flag 3 x 5 feet? If so, get this:
http://www.united-states-flag.com/6f...-aluminum.html and this: http://www.united-states-flag.com/ad...e-bracket.html and mount the bracket on one of those white vertical posts. |
maybe a flag pole?

How dare you open your present early!

To be a Chiefs fan he'd have to B+

ok, done. I hit the hardware store, got a mount and put it on the column as some of you suggested. Close but not quite on the zip phobia, and I still don't know my phone number so maybe. pic to come.

I decided not to post a new thread for this.
The google car had been past in October. My Chiefs loyalties will be on the web forever. Iowa and Northwest Missouri too! |
Why is the Hawkeye blurred out in the first picture?
WHAT ARE YOU ASHAMED OF MAN!?!?!?! |

The kid is uber talented and easy to root for. Hopefully Mends can be the next great linebacker out of Iowa. |
Well, the kid now has a new fan about an hour west of Iowa City. I'll be watching for him.

Where Mends is headed in Iowa's defense is up for speculation. Mends' speed suggests he'll be destined for the outside, but Iowa rarely uses a short linebacker on the strongside. Throw in the plaudits Mends has received as a run-stuffing middle linebacker in high school and the prior commitments of Jameer Outsey and Ben Niemann (both 6'3 and looking the part of an Iowa strongside linebacker), and I'm willing to bet he's headed for the weakside position. In fact, the size, speed, halfback experience, and mentality look a lot like former weakside linebacker Jeremiha Hunter.
That weakside prognostication looks good, especially given the commitment of a clear SAM linebacker like Parker Hesse. And if Iowa's serious enough about increasing defensive speed -- after seeing what the linebackers did this year, they should be -- Mends at weakside could be a revelation. He's the kind of pure athlete Iowa's wanted there for years, finally got this season with Anthony Hitchens v. 2.0, and expects to see there in 2014 with Reggie Spearman. The only downside: Reggie Spearman, who has three seasons of eligibility remaining and looks prime for that weakside position for all three of them. |

It may have been more appropriate to blur out the pumpkin-it looks like the stem is mr.winky coming out of the scarecrow. Google blurs out what some computer thinks is bad. Numbers, signs, etc On the 4 way stop west of the house, the 4-way sign is blurred. There has to be a message about 4 ways. |
