Ha!! Lol!!! About peed pants!! Ya know, I've been into a lot of different stuff, ski racing, motorcycles, boats, rc stuff,, and pretty sure I've finally found my home that I've been unwittingly searching for!!! I've always love this stuff but never had the been or ability to get into it. I work for myself, small family business and my dad has a barn and several outbuildings. It's pretty safe to say if there is room there is something to put in it. Fittings, wood, metal, broken stuff, it all gets carefully thrown into some pile . I'm pretty sure I could tell anyone where anything is and what shape it's in. It's a very well kept property from the road but inside the barn (non working farm) it's my ,and your paradise !!! And reason I say this is home is I've noticed that just about all of ya can see the potential in something like an old microwave turn table mechanism.

Yea, I told the wife when she happen to stop by when I was unloading the latest treasure that my mom had this old treadmill that she wanted me to take a look at, as it didn't work. Kinda funny as she immediately replied " why, that junk doesn't work and she already has one,,,,,,oh ,,, no,,, wait a minuet, did she ask you to fix it or toss it??" Then the fun deceitful creativity took over, hope she doesn't talk to her about me "fixing" the old treadmill!!! It will be in pieces and neatly stowed waiting to become another backyard landscape feature that will only improve property value.

Haha! The one I have came from my wife's parents. It still worked but they didn't use it anymore as they have taken up running and swimming. I found out that it was going to the scrap yard so I told them I needed it! My wife and mother in-law gave me a weird look(the same look your wife gave you) as my father in-law and I quickly proceeded to go down stairs and prepare it for "transport". It is stowed in a canvas car shelter just waiting for the day that I decide I need a conveyor that's 6' long.lol I prefer to call myself a "re-purposer"(not a real word) rather than a hoarder. There isn't much that I don't see potential in.... It's how I was raised so I guess that explains why my shop is cluttered with "stuff" from one end to the other.
