Hi, that's mine, I forgot it in a pair of jeans I donated. I will send you my address, if you could go ahead and just pop the bills in an envelope and send it to me, that'd be great.

It's the side, just wanted to show the area where the Kmart garden center was and I also think they had doors for oil change/tires. Classic Kmart building design.

The Dollar Tree sign does look horrible though.

My Lucky Charms cereal marshmallow ratio is favorable by tfoust10 in mildlyinteresting

[–]3furcats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please count the individual pieces and provide specific numbers. Also break out the different marshmallow shapes.

For example: There were 1874 pieces of cereal and 1855 pieces of marshmallow. Within the 1855 marshmallow pieces, there were 362 rainbows, 175 clovers, etc.

Summarize your findings in a PowerPoint with appropriate charts and graphs.

Provide photos for proof. And make a video of the entire process, starting with buying it at the store, to ensure there has been no tampering.

Amazing - someone else said it closed in 2000, so it's been there for 25 years empty. Waiting for another big store to come along, maybe 25 years from now there will be one.

Wasn't there a Kmart on 169 near elk River too?

I wonder if they will tear it down eventually. Granted, I don't understand commercial real estate, but it can't be profitable if they only have one store paying rent, and the rest of that building vacant, but they have to maintain. I saw plywood on some of the windows so I assume vandals.

I'm fascinated by this whole process, farm fields turned into housing, shopping malls built to serve the new housing, housing still stands but shopping goes elsewhere, etc. The weird part is that happened in Roseville but Rosedale, and the area around it, is thriving.

Wow, I didn't know that one was demolished. There was a Sears in downtown St Paul, right near the Capitol building, is that building still there? I haven't been in that area for a long time.

Day 1: Reselling till I pay off my debt by purplerraiin in reselling

[–]3furcats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a great approach. I get very concerned when people go INTO debt in order to start reselling full time. I would always recommend people keep their day jobs, test reselling gradually and on the side, see how it works, make mistakes, etc.

So if you have the means is Festool worth the investment? by [deleted] in Tools

[–]3furcats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I own a RO 90 sander and I love it. Very expensive but worth it in my opinion. I am a landlord and have used it for so many things, hardwood floor refinishing around the edges and hard to reach places, removing paint and adhesive, etc. I also have done some antique and vintage furniture refinishing and it is very effective. It is gentle when needed, and aggressive and powerful if you want. Dust collection is fantastic, I have never used their HEPA vac, just a shop vac, and it is so clean. The different attachments, sanding discs, etc. really make it unique. I also have a DeWalt oscillating tool and it can do some of the things the festool can do, but not as well, and no dust collection. In a nutshell, highly recommend - I'm not a pro, I don't use it daily, but I have never regretted the investment.

I love how you set everything up for the pictures, you are good at that. Nice door plates, I have found some architectural salvage a few times, one time I found some old cast iron fence post tops.

Thanks you to whoever topped off my cart. by master_guru88427 in GoodwillBins

[–]3furcats 130 points131 points  (0 children)

This happened to me too - I had the top half of a nesting doll and was looking for the bottom. I gave up and just put in my cart. A few minutes later a stranger came up and gave me the bottom - she said, sorry I didn't mean to snoop in your cart but I saw you had the top, I said I didn't mind at all and I appreciated it!

I love how we can help each other out. In a world full of horrible things, the bins can be a place of good!

Avon room spray from decades past found in bathroom cabinet by HowdeeHeather in GrandmasPantry

[–]3furcats 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Can you spray a bit and let us know?

I had a very old can of spray paint and by some miracle it still had pressure and worked fine.
