Put a "For Sale" sign up and be done. In two or three years you are going to
drop another ton of time and money into this pit, to get it ready to rent or
sell again. Market conditions may not favor selling
That would be hilarious. With the crazy car market right now, maybe
they could start turning a profit on their totals. I really need to get
off my ass and get some cars ready to get them moved out the door.

I was thinking I might try to use fakebook to help find a farmer wanting to
rent some of my land up north. I'd read that a lot of the young farmers are
finding land that way and as my fields are mostly small it'd likely be a young,
small timer that would be interested.

I wonder how easy it is to check stock on Lowe’s web site? That’s one nice
thing about doing it in the store - the salespeople can tell you the status of
the stock at any time.
The Costco thing that Floyd pointed out is pretty good. We’re Costco members
and use their branded VISA card as well,
From my experience buying a washer a few months ago, Lowes has more
choices on their website than they have in stock in the stores. In the
stores they indeed have mostly the higher-featured, higher-priced
selections.

I checked reviews on those 2 units linked below, the Whirlpool got some
bad reviews but the Maytag reviews were all pretty good whatever that
might mean.
Costco have a deal where if you get their credit card and pay with that
you get another 2yr (4 total) warranty coverage and another 2% cash

We’re shopping appliances for the new house, and all I can say is there seems
to be nothing in the way of basic, plain Jane sort of appliances any more. I

The B and C series are great in industrial applications, but I’m not sure

time to d the job, but if you’re careful and follow the instructions it works
out nicely.
Mercedes closed out their NOS steering wheels a couple of years ago. I was able
to snag one for the 220SEb for around $400,
Cracks or not, I love those steering wheels. Mix up some matching color
