My latest tool upgrade on FB Marketplace. Sold this cheapo QEP tile saw that I use for small projects and upgraded to a very nice Kobalt 24v cordless with a sliding top that sells for $400. My net cost was $50.

This week the wife said our granddaughter should have a trampoline. OK. I noted one for around $400 at a big box store but when I tried to order it, their web page locked and I couldn't complete my order. Hmm. So I went on kijiji and looked and a bit farther away was this Springfree unit for less money. Their kids had grown up.
His wife and daughter helped me carry it to the trailer and strap it down. Fifteen minutes after I got home, it was set up and the granddaughter was thrilled.

I'm not sure why I couldn't order the one online, but I'm glad things worked out the way they did.

Got a load of scrap today. The best of it was this Optibike . Who knows if it will work again but It will be fun to try. Looks like a quality unit! http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1716762064.JPG

Got this for $50 off FB marketplace. 12.5 hp motor had a dropped valve. I had a 15.5 motor with nothing to do.
Had to buy a coil and oil. Mows nice.

Nice job on the Snapper rider, Jack......another one saved!

Bought on Friday, mowed on Sunday.:D

Reminds me of: "Win on Sunday, sell on Monday." :cool:

Actually giving it away. Or keeping it and giving away my old Snapper. A buddy has been wanting one for quite a while so one will go to him. Ive fixed up and sold a couple of these old Snappers and they sell fast. They are great if you have a small yard to mow.

Thanks for 'paying it forward', Jack! SmileWavy

If I only had a dollar for every time I have heard that...;)
Nice job on the mower.

Thanks. I am letting my buddy have the one in the pic and keeping my old one. It has tricycle handlebars and I sort of like that. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/suppo...s/beerchug.gif

Nice to have the blackboard! You can hang it up and write a inspirational quote or two on it.

I have a white board next to my garage man door with the same.

These are the two I have on mine........

Someone threw away a plane. Went to the dump this afternoon. Found this rudder, Empenage, mangled flaps.

Not a garage sale but a score
Home Depot were clearing these out in the winter. I finally got around to putting it together.

Eight Patio Chairs for $75. They are in new condition. I also bought two large tubs of Preen Pre-emergent for $10. This was from an estate sale and I was first in line :)
