Treasure!
When the hurricane hit, a tool shed on my new property collapsed. As I was dumping more boards and shingles on the heap, I discovered a bunch of old tools in the wreckage. I got a complete meat grinder and a functional high grade brace and bit. I also stepped on a nail and fell into a thorn bush. I got a tetanus shot which I should have done the moment I started working with that old pile of wood and rusty nails. The shed is full of things, I have not gone through it fully yet, but if I get even one more good tool out of it the trouble of moving all that wood will make this a real find.
I have never seen so many pictures of saints, crucifixes, and rosarys. I am going to restore the Virgin Mary birdbath. It has a dozen coats of white latex housepaint and is covered with lichen. I think I will give it a wirebrushing and paint her like some icon. I hope I don't start a pilgrimage craze!
