Pawn shop finds.

Seems like the longer you homestead, the bigger the tools get.

LOL, at 18" if I'm reading it right, I probably couldn't even pick it up.

Speaking of finds, see if you can spot what was on clearance for 80% off at Home Depot

Also...

Sitting in a parking lot working on my phone and a billboard company pulls up and takes down a billboard. Asked them if I could have it. Five bucks.

Met with my realtor. He called me "resourceful". I'll take it.

Dang, you are just rockin' it this week!

I think I'll hit my HD again and see if they also have that piping on sale, I need more!

I had to leave two rolls on the ground. Turns out I have to go in to Toccoa tomorrow, and I'll check, but won't be holding my breath. Got about 40 fittings, too, between .80 and $2. Ts, Ys, curves, caps, connectors...

Incidentally, the Toccoa Home Depot is an odd bird. I hate the inside - can never find anything, but the outside - lumber, concrete, siding, fencing, etc. is drive through. You load straight in to the truck and drive to the checkout. That's really quite nice

Yea, I've been in the Toccoa store, it's a bit dark and oddly arranged.
