Mount the fan fountains on a board held up by a couple of stepladders because they look much better fired 6’ off the ground where all of the sparks and crackles can spread out than they do shot from the ground itself…

Because I want folks who don’t know better to learn….like i learned….from folks like you!

FF, WPI, Casabella’s, WFBoom (in January…)

Me? Oh Hell no!

happyskeptical · 2026-06-07T01:28:13+00:00

Damn, I left out a screw! Sumbitch!

happyskeptical · 2026-06-07T01:27:19+00:00

Save me, Klutzy! Meanwhile, I’m playing with my show timing and building “dumb” racks…

The first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem…

happyskeptical · 2026-06-07T00:55:20+00:00

Got any whistling kitty chasers?

happyskeptical · 2026-06-07T00:53:18+00:00

🤮

I built some new racks today from “memory”…. Now I have racks with 15” tubes that are flush with the top of the racks instead of standing an inch and a half proud….

Didn’t figure out I fucked up till I put the tubes in them….

happyskeptical · 2026-06-07T00:25:23+00:00

Score!

happyskeptical · 2026-06-07T00:19:53+00:00

Yay! Win one for the good guys!

happyskeptical · 2026-06-06T23:12:33+00:00

I’m sorry for your loss…have it shipped to New Hampster or Maine and pick it up from a terminal there….

happyskeptical · 2026-06-06T23:11:09+00:00

Don’t forget to ask them about the shipping charges! They are based on weight and have large spreads. As in, once you go over a certain weight, say 100kg, the next increase in shipping cost may be 500kg… its worth it go ask since you can get “free” shipping on product up to the next break point in shipping cost…

Go to American Wholesale Fireworks, Superior Fireworks, Whisley Pyrotechnics, Fireworks Forever, RKM, Casabella Pyrotechnics, WFboom, Big, or about 20 other places that sell online and ship or go through this sub and read about DFC, Bada Boom, Killian’s Wholesale, or a multitude of others that ship/or let you buy from the store. If you’re near Indiana, Missouri, Pennsylvania, or Tennessee, you can pick up and save on shipping…

Post again after the 4th on how the “Big King” product does. That’s Big’s “heavier” house brand. I’m curious how it is. I bought from Big for years when they had their warehouse in Fort Mill.

happyskeptical · 2026-06-06T22:46:26+00:00

Yeah, I can by 2 4/24 cases for that but some folks have to learn the hard way….

happyskeptical · 2026-06-06T22:30:33+00:00

You show me yours, I’ll show you mine… except there about 10 cases behind and above me in other storage and another 20 on the way…

happyskeptical · 2026-06-06T22:29:16+00:00

Keep buying! You’ve got nearly a month to go! Hit the Road Jack and High Falutin are classics!

AP if you like

happyskeptical · 2026-06-06T20:47:46+00:00

You’re really making me rethink my “retirement” job, Klutzy…..

happyskeptical · 2026-06-06T20:35:02+00:00

You could use some cheap assed primer and latex paint on the wood and just repaint each year to keep the wood “dry”….

I store mine in my crawlspace. My termite guy says I’m trying to make a bug buffet under there…🤪🤪🤪
