I'm off to find some eye bleach.

Somebody didn't get enough attention as a child.

They paid a crapload of money for that look....

Or..
Someone had enough trauma to self-destruct as an adult, and make themselves completely unattractive-unapproachable.

I saw one article that said $66k, and another that said $70k.

Hell, they coulda bought a boy toy and a Porsche.....

I think ^this^ is far, far more likely than vThatv. I also saw an article that said that her house was raided and she was arrested for drugs. I suspect the drugs and modifications are due to trauma.

$21.63 ;)

FYI, a red solo cup filled with random change, that has been compacted a few times to eliminate voids etc... usually yields around $75

Hah...I use their coin machine whenever I get a build-up.
The only thing I don't like is that it kicks out all the Canucks.

House built from a Sears kit. 2700 in 1927. Last lived in 1960. 1700 sf with a full basement.

Guitar birthplace?

Many of those Sears homes are iconic...from a time when exterior design mattered! I've wondered about this local example.

a little project to rebuild an old garden bench
 

I was offered an old garden bench for free so I decided to accept and rework it.

In addition to the new wood (5/4 red oak, thoroughly polyurethaned for weather protection) replacing the old rotted 5/8 "Chinese hardwood" (?), the iron frame sides were reworked to create the flanges to hold the back slats, stripped and repainted. A new center brace was fabricated and new bronze hardware replaced the old rusty & missing stuff.

Nice work on the bench! I just fixed up this one a few weeks ago. Got them on a scrap run it was just the rusty mangled side pieces. I had some slats from another old bench cedar i think. But there was only 5 so i cut them in half and made it a 1 seater. The table was also in a bad way i had the glass top sitting around. I have since found a big piece of slate I replaced it with much more better for the garden.http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1631054543.JPG
