The directive from Will was to “clean house.”
And we did.
So now we’re hosting an auction.
Wonder who had this rattling around in the back of his closet…
Here’s what’s caught my eye so far:
- Popcorn cart
- Assortment of arcade games
- Disco ball
- Corn roaster
- 300 lounge chairs
- Small children’?s ball crawl and crawl-through train
- Snow-making machine
- Spinning wheel, steam whistles and other antiques
- Construction supplies (roll-up doors, vinyl siding, shutters, etc.)
- Ditch Witch trencher
- 40′ x 60′ tent top/canopy
- 19 wall-mounted porcelain urinals
Here’s the corn roaster in all its glory:
Okay, so if the amount of emails I’ve received is any indication, those 19 porcelain urinals are going to be the hot item on Saturday.
It’ll be such a relief to see them go.
(Sorry. After those puns, I’m flushed with shame.)
