  • @andersendl31
    @andersendl31 10 місяців тому

    Another fantastic looking build. Keep up the great work and content.
    Here's some useless knowledge regarding the sandbags. The reason some sandbags are turned inside out has to do with the way they are manufactured. When they are sewn up during manufacture, the string that is used to tie the top closed is sewn up and on the inside of the bag. The bag is turned inside out to bring the string to the outside so it can be tied up once it is filled. I think it is a detail that varies by manufacturer, because some bags seem to come with the string on the outside while others come with the string on the inside, requiring the bag be turned inside out when it is filled. I filled a lot of sandbags around 2004 and noticed that small detail.
