Any old tools sitting around not being used?

At the office, which is what I call my incall, we are just short of tools. And this includes the basic stuff as well. I need a screwdriver, hammer, etc. General tools that can be used to do simple household repairs.

And that includes ALL gardening implements. (We have a potentially gorgeous garden!) I'm going to start working on a perrenial garden in a few weeks and could use a rake, shovel, cutting tools, etc.

So if you're a friend of mine (or wish to become a new friend!) who has some tools sitting around collecting dust, I would really appreciate them being donated to my soon-to-have brand new toolbox!

That is, unless you HAVE a toolbox to donate to this cause! Then I would use that one!

Thanks for reading this unusual request. I've been looking at garage sales, etc., and honestly, I just don't wish to spend a whole bunch of money on these things that I know others have extra of.

Sincerely,
Elisabeth

sorry, couldn't help it.

Why spend my money when some sucker give me what I need?

It's one of those win/win (gosh, what an old phrase!) situations, ideally.

If my posts bother you, please put me on ignore. Besides, this could be such a fun topic with a lot of jokes to be made.

Hopefully, others will take it as it was meant to be received.

Take care,
Elisabeth

Unfortunately, someone else has created a few ads with "tools" in the title and I don't wish to be a copy cat. But I was wondering if anyone would make a few jokes!

Again, this is a simple topic. No harm or bad will intended with this at all. I just wish to work in my garden with minimum investment in tools!!!

I was just at an Estate sale last week where they had killer deals on garden tools. Too bad i didn't know you were looking. A dollar or 2 for shovels and rakes and hoes and spades. The home owner had a very nice hot house in the rear of the property.

I'll keep my eye out, I enjoy estate sales and finding things I can list on Ebay to a larger market area so when I hit today's estate sale I'll see what they have.

Thanks. I can pay you back. I went out last weekend to garage sales and so often, you'll just find basic screwdrivers, hammers, garden stuff left and right.

This time around, nada.

So I was just asking around. Probably a few of these summer gardening items will go on sale in another few weeks, but I was just seeing what was out there.

For whatever reason the phrase, "had a nice hot house in the back" should be made into a joke somewhere!

Thanks, Lazarus.

I will look trough my shed when I get home. May have some stuff for you. Even a tool box.
