    Talking Adventures in Mandyland :) ....pics!

    So, this is what all the cool kids are doing these days, eh?



    Last night's curbside shopping brought in $143 today.

    Bed frame is brass, grill was stainless amongst other things, including a water heater and some smaller items.

    I do not spew profanities; I enunciated them clearly, like a f***ing lady.

    Break everything down. And I scrap where I can.. only have 2 contacts so far. Seller at an auto shop and a buyer for vintage brass. Curbs round here have too much to pass up. That was only 4 hours of hunting.

    Are those black Global office chairs? I had 50 of those last year that I cleaned and sold for $50 per. If you can`t hold on to them, the black ones can get up to $25 per from office furniture guys in my area.

    If they are in rough shape, how far does your yard make you break them down?

    That much off of an office chair?! ****, we usually pick up one a night!

    And they usually go into shred, no breakdown.
