| So last week went to a sale at a house they were clearing out. The Dad had a great but very crowded workshop in the basement. Tools and stuff galore. While my partner in crime spent time scrounging through all the tools and such, I found 3 great items.
A great little step stool. I'm going to paint the top black. Love the ad on it and the place to put a few screwdrivers and hand tools. Once black and orange it will be perfect for the Halloween season :)
A cool antique bottle: the label says some kind of acid.
And a 4 foot "yard" stick. He gave me that for free! The bottle was a buck and so was the step stool. Let's see the grand total at that sale was $240 and my share was 2 bucks! I think I won.

| Be careful if you open that bottle or wash it. Sometimes fumes can remain or be reactivated by adding water. open the stopper so it is not going to give you whiff in your direction. Could have had something else in it also! Neat stuff. Halloween ladder-that's a 1st! Sounds cute! Will be handy to place often used tools. So your partner in crime bought all the rest $240. Must have had some great tools! Jan |

| Great finds! I had the same thought as Jan about the acid bottle. Be careful! Kathy |
