On NextDoor, for our neighborhood, the free stuff actually has some quality stuff listed. And quite a bit of it too. Wish I had a truck for some of the larger items.
Check it out. |

I drove deep into the woods of south Texas and found this Wilton bullet vise. Got it for $60. First time I’ve ever seen one in the wild.

Nice! They say Wiltons are the only tool that gets cheaper when snap-on puts their name on it.

I already ordered some Rustoleum Verde Green Hammered Metallic paint. Apparently, that's the go to color for Wiltons. The only place I could find it was Menards. Rustoleum doesn't make it anymore.

Those male plugs are available at Home Depot. I out one on my table saw.

It's nice to have a 25' cord.

Thanks C4S! Yea, a long cord is better for 220 as outlets are not readily available everywhere.

A guy i know that gives me scrap sometimes gave me this maytag washer only 2 years old only used a handfull of times. The inlet filters got clogged and they bought a new one before they found the problem. Also found a bmx bike at the curb its just a walmart bike but still decent with a little tuning worth about 50.

As far as I'm concerned, this is a score. It would cost me $35 to take this pile of scrap to the dump. I took a picture and put it on Craigs List and it was gone in an hour. I had one joker who said the would take the copper and brass (and leave the steel for me to pay $35 to get rid of at the dump). But within an hour I had a serious "buyer" who took it all away.

I have a wooden one and the seat came loose - haven't had time to repair it but when I do I know I can use it. I bought a little plastic chair that does the same thing from a guy I was buying some shelving from, so I have that as well. Kinda like this one:

The string bikini I ordered finally arrived yesterday and today was the day for fitting. I think it worked out great!
Still much to do but taking it one step at a time. At least she's no longer naked!  PS - That's her girlfriend still unpacked and in the box behind her. Once I get her up and running....it's on!

Thought that was real pretty name and very unique. I was thinking it'd be a great name for my next dog. But that might be a bit far off - so will just use it now.

I'm still a little apprehensive about the weather having a negative impact on her. She's made out of plastic but was wondering if I should put some tape around those joints.
