Here is a large double sided coke sign that has been cut and bent into a 3 inch deep ,24 inch square well pit cover ,they used 2 car valves and a short piece of pipe to make a handle to lift it off with. We found this on a farm we cleaned out and it was covering the well pit so we took it home and covered our well with it. NO I DID NOT DO THIS !!!!!!!! THIS WAS MADE ALONG TIME AGO! POOR OLD SIGN!
