Love to see what you find at your bootfairs and now the skip. Over here we call that "dumpster diving"...lol

You should add a line from that Pickups & Come-Ons book to your posts every so often...

Thank you Karl.

I love the Bootfairs and also Dumpster diving as it allows me to experiment cheaply with stuff.

If you would like the Pickup and Come-ons book, I would love to pop it in the post for you, on condition that it lives in your bathroom behind the toilet

After work tonight, I cut the front hedge and shrubs, all the grass and then thought I would relax....... ermmm wrong.

Went down to the garage, moved Prozac and got started on cleaning the welding table/workbench.



Scraping all the paint off after clearing all the gunge of years off the flat surfaces took some time.



Finally two washes with petrol,and an old t-shirt gave me this, ready for either new paint or just leave it as is.

Still thinking.....

Opinions?




After reassembling the skip find air rifle last night and shooting in the dark, I also set it up tonight.

The little sight is not as good as the modern item I bought for the newer gun I bought recently

Size difference between the two calibers.



And after three sets of 5 pellets and setting up the scope, this was the result.

I am really impressed with this skip find.



So there you go, skip finds....

Free cash.


And lastly, a pic of Dennis’ progress with the deck out front of what will be his replica vintage gas station.


Note the broom on there.......

I made up the envelope this morning, put it in the car, but got distracted

Will get it in the mail soon enough though.
