Well, it is. When you’re looking to rent, it generally means that you’re making some changes. Maybe you’re downsizing your living space, or maybe you’ve outgrown your current home. Perhaps you’re starting a business. Or maybe it’s time to stash that boat or classic car for a season or two. No matter what the circumstances,…
January 23 is National Pie Day. We can dig that (though we’ve got a bit of a mathematical bent, so we prefer Pi Day on March 14th). Nevertheless, we’ll get behind anything that brightens up mid-winter, especially if it involves sugary goodness! It also happens to birthday of the Frisbee (inventor Walter Frederick Morrison sold the…
… isn’t frightful. Well, not yet, at least. But it does seem as if we’ll be kicking off 2014 with some snow. And this, of course, will necessitate snow removal. It’s no secret that we’ve got lots of ads for plows and other snow removal equipment. And if you’ve found yourself looking for a way to…
Between the recent government shutdown and yesterday’s Facebook fiasco, we’re willing to bet that, like us, you’ve had just about enough of things not working when they’re supposed to. Yeah, it’s a crazy and somewhat out-of-control world out there, but it is possible to take control is some small ways. One of those ways? Having…
… measurements. While we’ve got no particular problem with firewood sold by the truckload, pound or any other type of measurement, you’ll notice that there’s a certain consistency in the firewood ads we’ve got listed. Specifically, you’ll see that the fuel is listed by cord or by partial cord. Every wonder why that is? And…
Or yard. Or carpeting. Or door. Measurements are something you’ll find in just about every category we’ve got. Whether it’s the length of kiln dried lumber or the vital stats of a collectible concert poster, it’s really helpful to have an idea of the size of something for sale. You know we’re all about efficiency,…
Got some items to sell? Give ’em the boot. That’s what the British do. And it’s far less violent than you might imagine: boot sales are the Brit term for the events we’d call flea markets. If you’re thinking it’s a reference to shoes, you’d be wrong: boot is the word used in England to…
Okay, not that dirty. As exciting as they might be to some folks, washing machines just aren’t that titillating. But they do account for around one-quarter of the average household’s water consumption. And – more ominously – washing machines are responsible for an estimated 97% of all sock thievery. So time-consuming and labor intensive was the…
May 30 is Water A Flower Day (we suppose you could even go a little crazy and water more than one, but that’s entirely up to you). The day’s festivities – combined with this week’s heat wave – got us thinking: surely there must be some way to use an old leaky hose, right? It…
On May 6, 1889 the Paris Exposition opened. Its headlining act? A nifty 984′ metal tower that had just been completed. And that tower (the one we know as the Eiffel Tower) was the world’s tallest building until New York’s Chrysler Building stole its thunder in 1930. We bring this up not because we think…
