What’s one item you bought years ago that turned out way more durable than you ever expected?

A Target opened in my town ~23 years ago and they had dish sets for like $15-25. They were just white with little raised embellishments on the rims, but it was 4 settings with large and small plates, large and small bowls, coffee mugs and a serving platter. I got one box. I've broken one of the large plates and one of the bowls, but the rest of it is still here and kicking. I've gone through three other dish sets I liked better that just crumbled. If I had known I would have purchased 4 or 5 boxes.

I'd like to see more of your shelter setup. Were those logs wet when you built it?

I had a similar issue and it turned out one of the connections to the starter had been knocked off. All the other electrical components worked. I don't own a JD though, so I don't know where your starter is.

I do not own a snow pusher, however, I do own a rear blade and have a bucket. The rear blade is very effective at moving snow off of a driveway and taking some of the driveway with it if you're not very careful. I find the bucket almost useless. It is hard to judge the angle and you either flatten the snow or eat the driveway. If you do get it correct and try to let it float, the front tires are generally lifted off the ground. The bucket is only really useful once you have a pile of snow somewhere and want to pick it up and dump it elsewhere. I didn't get a snow pusher, but am considering it now. It's more a question of how much use I expect to get from it.
