They wanted to clean out that house and have the rest of the stuff go! We got a few small items from inside the house and then saw this cabinet in the garage for $30! We paid and went home to get the van. I love a good...

He had a few paint drips here and there. Both steps were a bit rusty and the legs were rusty too at the feet. He was still...
