What did you buy this week?

[Rvrrat14]

I needed a working platform for the FEL/Forks. I found a cheap one on Azone. It was a larger model 43x45 w/ 1400lb cap. It looked pretty sturdy, so for 159, I took a chance.
Got it in and assembled. It needed some more bracing to sturdy up a bit. Added corner bracing on top corners and tek screws on bottom corners. Sturdy now! Gonna give it a run today on some large limbs me and son are going to cut away from roof at ranch cabin. If he lives, its a success!

Bought a new mag float, concrete finishing broom head, and rented a bull float from Home Depot for the concrete tomorrow.

I really considered ordering a cheap bull float and handle online, from Vevor or similar, but its $120, vs $16/day rental. I "should" only need it a couple days here, and then a couple days down the road for 2nd half. I will be at about 50% the cost to just buy it, but I just dont see needing a bull float even 1/year going forward, so I decided to rent.

If you own a bull float your buddies will barrow it with its owner everytime they pour a slab. I won't get into how I know that I definitely don't own one

I hear ya. I still have a 25 year old bull float that has been used exactly once.

Dad bought a new 2003 Dodge 2500 and about 2010 thought about downsizing to an S-10 or a Ranger. I offered to buy him a new one, his choice in exchange for the Dodge. The truck has been sitting for about 5 years. I kept starting it on my 6 month visits till my sister had it moved to a "friends". She didn't want me pestering her "friend" so the truck sat out in the weather, neglected. Someone had been pestering my sister about buying that old truck. (*he needed a motor for a 3500). I got wind that it was being sold, so stepped in to voice my opinion. Earlier this week I went out to wish Daddy happy 96th birthday and brought the truck home with me. I washed the outside today, cleaned 1 rats nest from the fuel rail area and just on a hunch, pulled the air filter. Bingo, there was another. Sure glad I didn't try to crank it with that one in the intake! Anyway, tires are 2017 and 2018 with good tread, there are 2 body panels that don't have dents in them. The truck has never been over 70mph, Daddy always shifted at low rpm and oil changes were done at 3k intervals. I paid 6 grand for the truck, but since I will be an heir to it, we deducted my 25% (4 heirs) from the selling price, so I wrote a check for $4500.
The truck hopefully will run again soon.

in case you can't read it, that emblem at bottom left of picture is a Cummins emblem.

Body man seems to think I will have more than I paid for the truck in fixing the dents. Did I mention that the truck has 64,499 miles on it? I spent the afternoon getting the title transferred today, Hopefully it will run soon!

New Maytag top load washer and dryer for the house. Old front load washer went away, door seal was starting to leak. Old dryer went to the stables to replace the avocado green one in the tack room, the drum started rusting and discolored the white saddle pads.
