One man's trash....

is another man's treasure! I've heard that all of my life...
and now we've expierenced it! The Servis Flex 15 below was my
grandfather's. It's been used (but not kept up) by people
in the family since his death. We went and picked
it up yesterday with my Mom's blessing. (Thanks, MOM!!!!)

Yesterday after we brought it home...It was parked in a pasture with weeds all around it...

The deck has rusted through in spots...


Last "before" pic...

Today after spending about $60 bucks and a whole day's worth of labor, my sweetheart of a hubby is SHREDDING with Pop's shredder!!!!

He shredded until nearly dark, and everything's fine!!!! We still have some work to do on it...having a bit of a problem finding parts....but we'll get there!!!! I'm so proud!!!!!

Truly a "treasure"! Pops would be SO proud of you and Terry. Not only for fixing up his old shredder but for all the hard work and how you are getting the place back like he used to have it. One man's trash, one mans' antiques, now someone's treasure, huh? And, by the way, y'alls way was also his way. He never had to have the newest, best, fanciest, etc. but made the best of what he had. WAY TO GO!!!!!!!!! 50 X 500!!!!!!!!!!!
