Nope,  we are garage sale junkies too.  Have to admit,  never seen the house for sale at the garage sale. Sounds like you worked hard for your find.  Congratulations.

      That's a lot of material for a small $$$.  You will probably have more than you need or can use so you can put the rest of it out, sell it off, and make some of your money back.   But most of it looks really useful!

Way to go John. My wife and I go to a lot of estate sales. sometimes on the last day you take a big box and fill it to the top and it is 5 dollars. I get all my Bus, lubes and hardware, linens and some hat, t-shirts etc.,thats the way We did most of the bus insides , cabinets etc from them. We don't buy unless we can get it from a garage or estate sale. You got a haul I am so Jealous.
