Curious how many received tools or garage related stuff and thought I'd start a tread.

A little back story first. A friend of my wife has a close family friend who is up in the years and was walking up her steps and using flower pots as a hand rail. This can be a little scary, especially when they get slick in the winter. Well after building a rail, the friend was talking about how scary the basement was, so I said let's take a look. Wife's friend wanted to see if the generator in there was worth getting out. Once we went inside I could see some tools and a few odds and ends. Most of it was picked through a few years ago after the husband died.
So as I'm walking though the basement, I see this old General Electric power box. I thought it was pretty cool and would make a nice cabinet in a garage.

Well low and behold, my wife ended up buying it for me after I talked about it for a few days. It's been painted once and has some spray paint as well. Measures 22"high, 14 wide, and 9"deep. Not sure what I'll do with it, but I may make it a mini bar or a charging stations for the power tool batteries.

Very cool!

I just got married a month ago. We have still been going out for dinners with gift cards that we got for wedding gifts in spite of the fact that we asked to not get anything (we have both been married before). With so much going on, Valentine's Day kinda snuck up on me. This morning we went out for coffee and one of the Baristas asked Trina what we were doing for Valentine's. Trina said, "Nothing, we don't need Valentine's Day to be in love." That's my girl ;)

Congratulations nutsnbolts! We've been married for 2.5 years now and have a 9 month old now. V-Day is pretty small for us, no dinner date or flowers and we're working to become debt free so we use it as an excuse to do a little something for one another.
