Today's episode of

I guess I now have a buffing wheel once I replace the degraded AC plug and put on a new disc 😄

Even better, the lawn chair just visible to the right was a result of yesterday's scavenging efforts 😂

One of my buddies who does home renos is one of my scouts.

After a bit of back and forth about price with the house owner, I said that I didn't want it.

Yesterday at 5pm I got the truck picture below with the caption 'It's on its way!'. Owner decided if I was interested I may as well just have it!

So. I now have the frame and pans for a *huge* hydroponics system! No way I can set that up in the basement. 😂

@catselbow it's the same way we become the family/friend computer repair person.

In my case also local BBQ consultant, 'dog whisperer', smarthome, 'I'm buying new electronics' guy...

In return though, they know of my thing so they'll generally send me a picture of something 'interesting' before they 🗑️ it

Also let their immediate neighbors know about it. I found a way to selectively make the garbage come to me 😂

And two of my neighbors do home renovation for a living.

I'm sitting beside another project from last year. This involved some serious transformation rather than being more 'found items' like my previous use of the tag.

Made four 6 foot by 3 foot raised beds from a pair of fence gates someone was throwing out. Just enough wood (by design). I only had to provide long wood screws and battery charges for the hand tools.

Ben doesn't like the day before . His long stroller ride/walk is delayed until optimal foraging time.

Late enough that people have put things out, early enough that the pros in the pickup trucks haven't stripped all the good stuff! 😄

I can use that!

It's always the plastic clip that fails first.
