    Father-In Law Cleaning Out and I'm Cleaning UP!

    Father-In-Law called and said he had 3 things for me as he was cleaning out today... Umm. This filled the truck and I have to go back tomorrow for BUNDLES of Conduit.. He cleans-out, I Clean Up.



    Looks like some good: NON-Scrap Stuff- 2 perfectly good hitches, Craftsman Lawn Cart, Possibly the Porch Corners.. A Craigslisting I will Go!






    I'm so into scrapping.. When my Steel Toe Boots Wear out, I cut the Steel out of them and recycle the Toe!

    Not tower pieces, look to be wrought iron porch corner pieces. You know, to hold the roof up

    You are probably on the same mileage schedule I am. My 2000 only has 78K on it. I looooove it!

    Yes indeedy.. My mother and father in law had them on their porch until they did a remodel and put in solid posts. He saves everything.. and I have caught him on a lucky day that he has decided to PURGE PURGE PURGE!
