i got about 18' left in my yard.

wandering how much pvc i wanted,(if u dont want to read go to the bottom sentences ) well ill tell u my story. ok so i went to my local hardwhere store to buy some pvc for my air cannon i am finally making (already done). and so i went to the customer desk to order 2 feet of pvc and i did, so i payed for it now i need to find one of the workers to show me where the pvc and so he can cut 2 feet of my pvc. and when i gave him my order sheet he ended giving me 2 ten feet of 2 inch pvc. so thats how i got it free and if ur asking i payed $1.76 per feet and i ordered 2 feet and instead i got 18' free more wahoo!=)

so i am asking dose any one have any suggestions on using this left over pvc.

You can never have enough pvc.
But you should use it for more guns, ofcourse!

Just hold on to it. If you have a garage, a basement or a crawl space under your house, store it there and out of the direct sun. I have at least 10' or more of all of the popular PVC sizes from 1/2" up to 4" on hand. Never know what you will need.

Yeah, keep it for later, I still have about 15 feet of 1 1/2 inch that I have had since about May, and I have it cut into 5 foot sections, and I store it in my room, just so It doesnt get damaged by the sun(which I had to throw out about 5 feet of 1 1/4 inch PVC, because the sun made it soooo brittle, and made it a light brown color :(

I went to Fastenal to order some 3" fittings, and I accidentally bought them in the full package quantity. In the end it was a good thing, because now I have an inventory of fittings. A small inventory, but I have some couplings coming tomorrow.

My mom buys me so many pipe things it's not even funny... I honestly feel bad about it, seeing as I've probably cost my parents about $250 THIS WEEK ALONE. :(

After purchasing a plethora of pvc fittings for the pipe, make a two story slip 'n' slide fit for a wealthy hamster.





Or keep it on hand, that may be a better choice.

That is by far the best suggestion.

There can never be enough spudders :D

Or you could use the pvc to make some kind of ammo for a slightly larger bore.
Search for PVC rockets and you will know what I mean.

Here's another idea; LONG-BARREL HOWITZER.


Go for distance, buddy. I've always wanted to do one with soda cans. Unfortunately, I lack both 2.5" pipe, and land to shoot it.
