$2 sugar shaker at an estate sale. Heavy glass and metal. I haven't seen one of these in years, and we could use one for coffee/tea anyway.

Banner day today. Was heading down the road I live on and about 6 blocks down I see all this stuff sitting by the curb. I drive by - see what's actually there - then turn around and pull up to start loading. Start loading....the owner is up by her garage and says "Take what you want." I reply while smiling...."Getting rid of all the ex's stuff?" She replies "He passed away." Oh man - I said - I'm sorry and she replied that it was a blessing because he had been ill for some time. Anyway - all good. Turns out I know her daughter who is married to a former Tennessee football player who was on the team with Peyton Manning. They live in another part of the barrier island where I did two landscape jobs. So she had familiarity of all that and we had some nice small talk about that and family stuff. I got loaded up and then helped her take an extension ladder to her backyard and then she asked if I wanted the two rolling trash cans that were back there, so I said sure. Cool lady - former US Army Captain in the 80's. Her late husband was a dentist here for a long time.

I was surprised she didn't let a family member have all this but she said they all have people do stuff for them and were not handy with tools. I said "Well, they are going to a good home now."

That Bosche Bulldog hammer drill is the best thing in the pile! They did good when they created that tool for sure!

That Bosch hammer drill is a worthless piece of junk. Send it to me and I'll take care of getting rid of it for you.

Wow! I think you win the thread, Baz!
Nice!

[A930Rocket]

What a score, Baz!

[Baz]

Thanks, guys! Hard not to feel guilty about how I came about getting these. I gave her my phone number in case she needs any help with her landscape or irrigation.

Unpacking stuff now. That Dewalt drill turned out to be the DW511 model - 1/2" hammer drill!

I love the analog batter charger too! They always come in handy when the battery level is way way down.

[Baz]

Got one of these too.......

I picked up an Emco Compact 8 lathe bed and carriage for $50 I 'm going to bring it back to it's former glory. Made in Austria

Free PortaBote on OfferUp! Needs a transom replaced, but I think I can have it fixed for under $100 in parts.

At a job site today one of the guys picked this smoker up curbside for free - in almost perfect condition!

[Gogar]

Free on Nextdoor. "Does not work."

Fan and Condenser were covered in dust and fan motor covered in some kind of gooey disgusting pink strawberry wine; wouldn't turn.

90 minutes of scrubbin and a clean and lubed fan motor later good to go.

^^^Even if that needs a recharge it's great.

After getting it home and inspecting it. It appears to be a 7' Baldor Grinder

Another decent weekend for Estate Sales.

This large clay pot was brand new but had damage on the side. I bought it for $10, took it home and cut the bottom off. Then I sunk it into the ground and planted an Espalier Lemon Tree:
