Apparently so! Damn! I need another stall for crying out loud!  :rant: :rant: :rant:

The scary part is all the crap we threw away / gave away when we moved into this place has now suddenly been replaced by even more useless crap we don't need! How the heck am I going to get rid of this stuff! :rant: :rant:
Yard sale.  :wink:

  I don't know what they do in your area, but here we have garage sales days.  If you put the right price on it, people will come and carry it out of your yard and garage by the arm loads.

  The same thing had happen to us and the days came and we had one hell of a sale.  What we didn't sell we loaded it and gave it to Good Will.

  Another thing I do is sit things out by the road and place a large "FREE" sign on it.   I have had things disappear in less than 5 minutes.  Just this summer we had a swing and it was a little light weight (not very strong) for us.  My wife said how are we going to get rid of this, it's not worth much.  I made a free sign and we carried it out to the street and I put on the sign.  We walked in the front door and before I could sit down, I looked out the window and a man and a woman with a pick truck had pulled up a and the two them sit down in it and tried the swing.  They put it in the pickup truck and drove away.  My wife walked back in to the front room and I said the swing gone.  She went to the window and said I don't believe it.

  Put it out and they will come and they will take, no question asked.  :biggrin:  I have got rid of a metal gate, spare tire for a camping trailer that I had tried to sell in two sales.  Some sections of fence, a cast iron bath tub. A bed frame and head board.  It like magic, the stuff  just disappears.   :yes:

  One more thing.  When my dad died, we cleaned out his garage.  You can't believe the worthless rusted junk that was there.  We put it out in front of the garage and I put a free sign on it.  I thought what I would have to get a dumpster.  The people took about 80% of it and the town came by on heavy trash pickup day and took it all.  Just amazing.  :o

I have an industrial radial arm saw and stand that needs a switch. Its a craftsman and I guess I'll just push it out to the curb unless somebody wants it. . . I am not going to use it nor fix it. . .

  I got one, really nice saws.  you probably could go or call Sear parts on interstate 69 just South of Fishers and get a switch and fix it very easy.  Or if you don't have the time to fix it.  Put it in the trader, I think they don't charge for putting it in, if the item is less that $35.  But that saw should be worth at least $5o to $75 with the broken switch.  I know it will sell this spring when then their able to work outside on houses.

I know someone who might want it and he could really use it and would appreciate it greatly.  I'll give him a call tomorrow. :-)

  I know if I didn't have a job and was slowly going broke, I would fix it up and sell it, but I would sell it broken switch and all, I sure would sell a good saw like that.  Switches is a easy fix and cheap repair.  I sure wouldn't give it a way.  It a money maker and a money saver for anyone doing any building or wood repair work.  I know you know that.  SELL!  Not give! :biggrin:

I know its a good one and if I had use for it I would fix it. I know it is easy to fix and that the part is available. . . I just want to get rid of it and make room in the garage. . .

It went to someone who can use it in their work. It was given to me and I, being a strong believer in Karma, felt it was only right that I let it go to someone like that for the same thing I paid for it; nothing.

He's a fairly handy guy so I am sure he'll have no problem getting it repaired and using it in his work, so it's all good man.

  OK, just don't go in the junk business.  You will lose your butt.   :biggrin:  Buy at the lowest price and sell at the highest. :yes:

It quit flickering here.  I'm getting a little nervous though about the whole deal.  It's one thing to joke about it but another to come to the realization it could actually going to happen.
