An Unlikely Coincidence

A month ago, we bought 100' of 12/3 heavy-duty outdoor electrical cord on sale 30% off. I was concerned about coiling and storing this heavy cord and hadn't even used it. Well, a need arose and I wanted to use the cord.

Years back, a plastic water hose reel had fxed, I'd replaced it, and kept the pieces in our crawl space awaiting repair for some unknown future use. That fxed reel begged to become an electrical cord reel. A week ago, I undertook a project to Gorilla Glue and wire its fractures.

Came out quite solid and will be a perfect electrical cord reel.


Rode Maizey later in the afternoon, Rich Giroux riding shotgun. Sighting an "Estate Sale" sign, JCD requested a stop. An item for sale: a hose reel complete with hose. We bought it.


Can you explain to me why another reel should appear within hours of my repair of an existing reel?
