Welcome to the Scrounge Lounge February 2019 Edition
Our History: The Scrounge Lounge formed on the old Auction Listings board in 2003.
Who are we? Ebay buyers and sellers who love the thrill of the hunt and the thrill of the $ELL.
We find treasures in the usual, and at times, unusual places.
Here in the Lounge we share our finds, talk about sales, share our successes and our mistakes, we ask and answer questions, help identify widgets, and we'd love to hear about all your scrounging adventures!

Hi Sun! All is going well. Been doing a lot of work on the house. I'm still selling but at a far smaller scale and I've almost eliminated all the glassware.
Hope all is well with you.

Mornin' All
Hey Bob! Believe it or not, you popped into my head just yesterday! Our brainwaves are synchronized. Isn't that something!
Good to see you and thanks for the condolences. Glad things are good!. working on the house and glass be gone! haha
Yes, Patd, I've read about those electric heat tubes....I'm sure it's not cheap these days but I could check out availability, if they sell them in stores, in search all you get are contractors to install. I did think of someone I can contact to at least shovel out back. I was driving around yesterday a bit and looking at roofs, lots of ice dams all over.
It freaks me out....that would be a disaster to have a cave in, cancel that thought!
Bummer on the end of the family line when you're gone. That's sad. I thought you had kids?
So glad SURVIVOR starts this week! BB wasn't interesting to me after Tom left. 😞 but I watched it nevertheless. Looks like the person who needed the money the most won, so that's good.

Bathroom remodel, all new plumbing in the house (plus hot water heater) and a few rooms painted thus far. Working from the upstairs down. Hallway and stairwell get painted next then on to getting the laundry area set up and dishwasher and vent added to the kitchen (along with a new stove and microwave vent for over the stove).
Nice that the kids finished school and have landed good jobs! I'm getting close to wanting to be done at least in terms of current career. Would be nice to retire soon. Thinking I still have to go another 5 years though.

Sounds very nice Bob! That's a lot of updates, new appliances, plumbing, paint. Nice!
I agree Sun, someone could make a fortune here deicing dams...doubt anyone wants to lol! My snow plow guy was here last night again...and more snow coming. I wanted to ask him to shovel the back patio but....more $$$ shelled out.
I went over to my nephew's yesterday and he said he'd come over today and "Do Something" with the ice. If I put my shovel out there, he might just do that too! xxxx fingers he gets the hint. I may be gone when he gets here, have to work at noon. Time will tell.

Hey M*M, hope you get your ice dams taken care of and patio snow, too.
Yes, you are right. We have 2 adult children, one with no kids and one with a daughter.
What I meant was we are the last of our generation in our families. Have some cousins but they are much younger.

MM Great your nephew is going to come help you.
Patd hope you are surviving all that rain. Hope you are having sales to pack up. Our families are ending also. No boys to carry the names forward. Some distant cousins but no one around here. Very sad but the way it is.
