SSQ has been an e-bay shopper par excellence the last couple of months. He's been able to get some great deals on 500' spools of wire for doing the electrical work on the addition. He's also bought a BIG concrete mixer for doing the work on the footings, foundation and basement floor, and a smaller one for me to mess around with doing the pavers for the driveway around the back and the countertops. The large one has a gas motor right now, but he bought a 5 HP electric motor (also on ebay) to convert it so we can use it inside, if need be. The smaller one had an electric motor already.
He's lovin this!
I really love Ebay! I've only had one bad experience, where I asked if the whistle they were selling was a Feadog and they said it was and I paid for a Feadog and it wasn't one, just a cheap knockoff. I demanded my money back, they gave me my money back told me I could keep the whistle anyway.
So it really worked out ok.
