One of the things i like to do is go see what people want to get rid of – the great tradition – the Garage Sale!

A few weeks ago we wandered in to a neighborhood that was having a community sale…. almost every house in the neighborhood was had stuff out for sale….

And I stumbled upon these:

$40 and I walked away with both. They have a little rust, but nothing i can’t take off with a bit of polishing. Both work great, and both were tools i was planning on buying anyway.

But my real deal came this past Saturday. I took my daughter to a friend’s birthday party. While all the kids were having fun in the pool, the home-owner mentioned that he had the race on in the garage. Nascar? So I wandered into his garage and noticed some powertools sitting there… Up front was a planer. I casually mentioned that was going to be the next thing I purchased, and he says “Take that one”. Huh? Turns out it was his dad’s stuff that was now just in the way at his mom’s house. he had his own, and wanted it to go to someone who would get some use out of it.

So here it sits:

You can’t pass up free tools!

So for $40, i ended up with a bunch of new Delta toys. You can’t beat that!
