Score at the Thrift Store

You paid $10 for a 6" long piece of 2x4?

 

I'm thinking it was the vise was $10 . I'll give ya $12!

 

Maybe it was the drill bit, I think they overpaid.

 

Who's "they"...I'm not pregnant?

 

Garage/Moving Sale



Danish Woodworking bench $25, Bosch belt sander (older German made) $6.

I'm one happy retired geek!

 

...same sale, two weeks after getting the bench. $10 for a Delta CMS 36-220! (I tried to disguise the mess! )

 

Got a new hot water heater for $5

 

Got this for $10, still wrapped in original plastic, unused, and Bass Pro Shop stickers running across the top.

 

Found these at a rummage sale for $10 in excellent shape. ($130 on eBay and $210 Amazone Prime)

I picked up a 42" solid oak dining table with two leaves and six chairs for $40. The top finish was damaged but that did not take long to refinish.

Also found a plumbers schoensdet (sp) metal detector. A retiring plumber was selling it for $20. I checked the retail when I got home, $2200!

Found this single curtain panel for $1.50 at Ocean State Job Lot. I like that it has tabs so I can thread it onto the awning poles. Now I just need to anchor to ground. If it is not too windy, it'll give me some added shade.

 

You can add two Tekton Clamps with 2 Ball Bungees and stake them down. We did the same with a dark shower curtain.

 

Thanks for the list of items. I found this shower curtain at Target and I think it'll work great. It's a nice cotton fabric, but it wasn't $1.50 ($22).

 

Garage/Rummage sale: Husqvarna 45 (made in Sweden)...they didn't know if it worked or how to start it. $5. Great chainsaw and only needed a new kill-switch! (Don't hate me! )
