    Harbor Freight sell junk at a irresistible price, to people who don't car about quality. If you wanted a decent inspection camera get one of the Milwaukee branded ones, or some other comparable brand. Consider anything you get from Harbor Freight to be a consumable.

    Misting fan for patio

    They cool the air by increasing the humidity. If you live in a humid area they won't work as well. If you live in a less humid area they are amazing!

    1910 refrigerator

    Still somewhat common in the industrial world. If it's still in there after 105 years I would leave it in there. Plus a retrofit will not be straight forward.

    Briggs need valves touched up every few years. And I'd second putting non ethanol gas in it..
