Matt's Old Truck

Last November Matt let me take his old truck home with me. I have been enjoying it ever since. I have been using it for all sorts of odd jobs around the house and even made a little money hauling stuff in the bed. These past few weeks Kaytee and I have been trying to raise our flower bed in the front yard. This required 2 1/2 truck loads of dirt. We managed to get a great deal on some really rich dark topsoil from a local landscaping supply here in town. These are pictures of one of those loads of soil. The bed of the truck was bottomed out on the chassis. Luckily, there is a rubber stopper between the bed and the chassis to keep any damage from happening to the truck. I still have a few more truck loads to get for the garden. I am sure it will not be a problem for the Mighty Maroon.

This was such a pain in the neck to clean.

I will never own another black car.

This was after it had rained.

The headlights were so caked they were useless.

SCORE

This is a yard sale find that Kaytee and I happened upon today. We were able to get this work bench, with the radial arm saw attached, and 17 different sizes of wood clamps for $40. Oh, and behind the work bench is my $10 gas blower, yes Kristine I got the blower from CraigsList, and it only cost me $4 to fix it. Now I just have to post a picture of my free garden tiller. Another Craigslist find.

While looking for furniture, a changing table, for the baby's room, we found an estate sale and saw this original oil painting. We both loved it from the beginning. We have been looking for a while now for something like this with all the colors and detail. It is not signed as far as we can tell, but whoever painted it is/was sure talented. We need to frame it but for the time being we hung it above our fireplace. They wanted $175 for it and I managed to convince them they only needed $35. We are hoping it turns out to be one of the million dollar finds.
