I am the new list admin, but I don't want to be. If any of you want to be list admin, let me know. Do it for a while and then you can give it back to me if you don't like it. Mike F Houston, TX Perhaps Jo Chastain would like to try it for a while?

I would appreciate being removed from the list.

I noticed that this cemetery is in Fairburn, were I grew up. I appreciate the history represented in graveyards and their beauty. Thank you for this work.

I have made contact with my bank but it would take me 3-5 working days to access funds in my account,the bad news is my flight will be leaving in Few Hours from now but I am having problem settling the hotel bills and the hotel manager won't let me leave until I settle the bills,I need you to help me with LOAN financially ($2,450) and I promise to make the refunds once i get back home,you are my last resort and hope,Please let me know if i can count on you and i need you to keep checking your email because it's the only way I can reach you. Thanks Theresa

Stealing signs and the posts or just the signs If they are stealing the posts along with the signs, 6 inches from he bottom of the pole, drill a 1/2 hole perpendicular to the long axis of the pole and insert a 12 inch length of 3/8 steel rebar into the hole and bury the post. If you are installing the posts and signs on right of way, you probably have no rights, because right of ways belong to the public.

Chances of enough water to getting into a piece of two inch pipe to break it is remote, simply because gravity will drain most of the water through the hole on the bottom of the pipe and into the soil below and 2 inches is a small opening for water to get into. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Vance Harris" <harrisbrewing@gmail.com> To: ga-cemetery-preservation@rootsweb.com Sent: Sunday, December 9, 2012 6:54:16 PM Subject: Re: [GA-CEMETERY-PRESERVATION] PVC Crosses/Burma-Shave Signs I agree with you on everything you said but I have been told that if you don't put caps on the ends of the pips that rain water will enter the cross and settle at the bottom and may cause the cross to sink or lean.

Once you disturb soil, any thing, fence posts, mail boxes, crosses, will not remain plumb. My only concern with not having caps on the pvc crosses would be freeze / thaw cycles, that would break the pipe if water accumulated in them. Chances of enough water to getting into a piece of two inch pipe to break it is remote, simply because gravity will drain most of the water through the hole on the bottom of the pipe and into the soil below and 2 inches is a small opening for water to get into. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Vance Harris" <harrisbrewing@gmail.com> To: ga-cemetery-preservation@rootsweb.com Sent: Sunday, December 9, 2012 6:54:16 PM Subject: Re: [GA-CEMETERY-PRESERVATION] PVC Crosses/Burma-Shave Signs I agree with you on everything you said but I have been told that if you don't put caps on the ends of the pips that rain water will enter the cross and settle at the bottom and may cause the cross to sink or lean.

Huh. Hardware stores, sell a cross coupling. It looks like this ( + ) What that is , is a coupling you can insert four pieces of pvc pipe into. Why bother with drilling holes , bolts , lock washers, when you can cut the pipe to needed lengths and insert them into the cross coupling ? Why bother with end caps ?

This is more Mr. Burton Fletcher. You asked how I would do it. Yes, I am going to cap the ends, not only to keep out wasps but also to keep out rain. Luckily they make a special fitting for PVC called a "cross" Which makes making a cross very easy, so all I have do do is cut my various pieces of pipe and glue it all together. This is a Private Family Cemetery who was nearly lost. It has 10 graves inside the old family section with about 7 or 8 graves outside of the old family area. We had archealogists survey the cemetery. You can still find pieces of old bobbed wire on the ground around the family section proving there use to be a fence around it seperating it from the other graves. We could I get the rocks or gravel you recommended. Would my local monument company have it?
