Hi Greg,

"rebar" is short (american slang maybe) for steel reinforcing bars that are
added to poored concret for strength.  It is that 1/2 inch diameter ribbed
rod you see in broken concrete.

It is widly used everywhere where poured concrete is used.  I think it is
cheap to free if you look in the right place like a construction site where
they do not want to haul the extra bar back.  It is heavy...

Cheers,

	Terry
