Thanks for all the input. While I like the well nut / hose idea, at that size and location I'm worried about some thing breaking and dropping into the oil. My uncle said "get to whittling", I would hate to lose a piece wood into the oil. I have decided to insert a snug fitting bolt into the...

whitetiger, I tried but the hole is about 1/2 in and i'm worried I might lose it in the hole. I'm attaching a couple of pictures I took, there is tape over hole because of rain. E/S

My wife has decided that "we" need a new flag pole, a 30 Ft. pole ! After pricing poles and recovering from the shock, I decided to build a tilt up pole. I have attached a drawing of what I plan to build and would appreciate your input. One thing I should mention is that we regularly get 70 +...
