Hose Holder Tip: Reuse Old Wheels as Hose & Extension Cord Holders

This document is a short magazine reader-tip article titled "Hose Holder," accompanied by a pen-and-ink illustration. It describes how Ashley Wilson of Iberia, Missouri repurposed the many wheels her husband had wrecked by mounting them as holders for water hoses, air hoses, and extension cords around their property. The article notes that one wheel (a mag) was screwed directly to a tree, which the California-based editors humorously object to, suggesting a building or dead fencepost instead. It also mentions the husband's plan to add a wheel hub (referencing a previous tip from a reader named Keith) so the mounted wheels can spin, making it easier to recoil hoses and cords — requiring more wrecked hub and spindle assemblies for donor parts. The illustration shows a garden hose coiled around a wheel rim mounted on a wooden fence post beside a spigot, with the hose trailing into the grass; the drawing is signed "NB '06." The piece is a recycling/shop-tip article rather than a technical reference: it contains no fuse data, wiring information, part numbers, or vehicle-specific specifications, but offers a practical idea for reusing old wheels around a garage or farm.
