The Room 208 Blog

We went garage sale shopping the other Saturday as we do on most weekends. I love to look for people’s old junk and good deals. I am pretty handy so I can take mowers, tillers, snow blower, and such and fix them like new again. Last weekend I found a power washer that some old couple was getting rid of. Turns out the old fella did not use the power washer except for a time or two and then he had a stroke so was unable to do anything else with it. The power washer had been sitting in the garage for several years and when they went to have the garage sale they threw it out there for twenty five bucks. He said he had not started it for a couple of years and did not know if it would work or not so I got him to take fifteen dollars for it. I got the power washer home and all it took was dumping the old gas out of it and cleaning up the spark plug which had rusted a little bit. After that, two pulls on the start cord of the power washer and it fired right up. That day for fifteen bucks and about an hour of work I power washed the house and deck.
