    cleaning out new garage update

    Update on garage. I've found all sorts of interesting things, but one thing tops them all, and its glass. There's six brown jars with Satin tone gallon tropical lime on them. Jars are empty and cleaned out. Anyone know anything about them?

    Sounds like an interior paint description to me. Never saw paint in big brown jars though.

    cleaning out new garage update

    the house I moved in to had a two story, two car garage behind the house. Needs some work and cleaning out, but will work well foe expanding and storing my scapping capabilities. Just found those jars and wasn't sure what they were!

    bunch of wood, old Mason jars, big role of #1 copper, old scythes, a couple dressers and about 20 old rusty filing cabinets

    some of the file cabinets have a large chunk of concrete in the bottom to prevent them from falling over. FYI.

    old mason jars are cool. if you don't use them, or know anyone who does, it's a good time to post some ads on freecycle. If you ever use it for computers to recycle, that's a good way to give something back. If they're in cases you could spread em out a bit
    wish I had a garage full of em ; )
    upstairs sounds like a good breaking down/ewaste spot

    cleaning out new garage update

    I already have the old jars sold. I was thinking about that, I just haven't gotten into any Ewaste yet. Not even sure if there's anywhere around me that even buys Ewaste. The few yards I've done business at will take Ewaste, but they don't pay.

    computer boards are well worth the effort to box up and ship

    may have to look into all the escrap posts on here. I don't even have an idea how much anything is worth for that kind of stuff.

    computer and telecom system boards are the best, LCD and printer boards a not too distant second. Many times you can resell better than scrap
