You look and look where you 'know' you put it but no. So you give up and buy new. Not much time passes and there it sits, the tool you were looking for from the start. Now the question is, do you put the new tool with the old tool or somewhere different so it will up the chances of finding it in five years when you are looking for it again? 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XXitanium Posted June 2 Author Share Posted June 2 Yeah, I may have put it there even, but I usually try to keep stuff together. My helpers tonight grabbed handfuls of stuff and just dropped it on the benches in the garage. I stayed after school to put most of it where it belongs. Dryer lint clean-out scuttle. I broke that hammer handle trying to pull a nail that's been rusted in for thirty plus years. Wrong tool for the job. A real crowbar did much better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XXitanium Posted June 4 Author Share Posted June 4 Picking on the size of my tool? Yeah it's not a 16 oz. - but close. I have (34) 5/4 x6 decking to pull up. I'm thinking of trying to recycle the boards if I can pull them up relatively whole. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be kind of cool to finish a wall in a barn or garage with them. I have a friend who turned his riding arena into a wedding venue and used old deck boards as wall covering or paneling.

I need to post an update and pics about it. Imagine your deck boards covering and entire wall, looked pretty sharp. I am trying to integrate storage in the machine shed using the horizontal girds between the pole barn posts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sort of stuff. It tears me up to be at a landfill throwing away old mattresses to see guys dumping loads of perfectly good old wood away. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly not real men. Even if they weren't worth storing for re-use, a real man has a fire pit. But construction sites do throw away a lot of wood. A buddy of mine is a framer and gives me a fair amount of firewood, some pieces have been turned into useful items. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
