The One Where I Get Great Stuff

With apologies to all fans of Friends, this is the blog post where I gloat over my most recent freebies.  In fact, next to the free truck I'm driving (at 230,000+ miles and still going), this may be my best haul yet.

Bessie Fromm and her sweet granddaughter, Desiree, are moving from Westmoreland to Montana.  Bessie had been living on 90 acres.  She'd been using a Craftsman LT2000 to mow the front three acres where her house sat.  Bessie has now sold the house and is headed to the Big Sky country.  In leaving, she has bequeathed to me her Craftsman.  Along with it, she also gave me a fiberglass step ladder, a large two-wheeled dolly, and a small wagon for the mower.

Pictures attached.


Now, aren't you jealous?

Also, attached are pictures of some of my scavenged wood and posts, a large aluminum ladder, and a borrowed trailer on which rests my 30+ sliding glass doors, some other doors, and a disassembled garden shed--all free.



The gleaning continues...
