    Just found a generator. It's probably about ten years old, with an 8hp briggs and straton. I don't think it has ever been run or if it was it only saw a few hours of use, the muffler isn't rusted, and the oil looks like new.




    Nice echo weedwhacker for $30 at a garage sale as well.

          I just got a fold-up Drum Major Stand, like you see at high school football games. Its about 6' high and has a platform that is somewhere around 3' by 3'.. made by Jarvis. One of the hinges was bent on it. I straightened it out and set it up, works great. Now all I need is a band.... hrmm..


          *edit

          Just looked it up, its the Jarvis, Model 12. Sells for $800.. I'm Thinking Ebay!

                        Where do you all go dumpster diving? My local dump has one, but thats mostly scrap metal and random assortments. My grandmothers dump has a scrap pile, its worth looking through, but not much good stuff. Any tips?
                        Lets all do this... get out our paintball guns.. hijack some airlines full of these "Special" Folks and run them into some things like The Backstreet Boys and Al Gore's Baldspot.

                              Find out what big industries are in your area.. They toss alot of good stuff. Around here we have Kohler and 3m.. Kohler makes toilets, tubs, anything that goes in or around a bathroom pretty much. Not much interest in free toilets, although I've heared some local stories about finding free hot tubs every once in a while. 3M is all chemicals, I dont even like to go near there, it blows up every once in a while.

                              I like going to the local recycling/scrap metal yard. They'll usually sell you anything by the pound. Like aluminum rims for fifty cents a pound.. Missile casings, stuff like that.

                                Now when you say check the industries- how do you do it? Just go look through the dumpsters, ask permission, what?

                                All the industries around here (Nashville) are just country music places. There's a gigundimous junk place but they don't sell stuff. I need to check around the Yellow pages more and see other places.
