Everything of mine my wife has thrown away. Two weeks ago, two water coolers just because they leaked. Pffft. What's up with that. They are perfectly good for something. And I let her know about it too. Right after she went back inside.

The 2 biggest things are scrap steel for my forging projets. I also now save our aluminum cans. I have reused alot of old treated lumber from around our recently purchased acreage.

My old ragged blue jeans! My other half yells at me if I mess up "good" clothes, working in the garage, but try's to throw away all my "ragged" clothes.......leaving only "good" clothes!

Oh, BTW.....it's not a good idea to tell your woman "You're just mad because I wear the same size clothes long enough, to wear them out."

Does a tent count? or a Pot? Man mine will be a looooooong list. I used to dumpster dive for a living...literally.
Years ago my ole lady sold my holy jeans on that durn internet auction site. She got more than I had payed for them new and I was without britches!

I rebuilt a few guns that went under saltwater for 2 weeks due to Hurricain Katrina. Some look just fine others are UGLY but now work great. As a side note not one of my guns went under water for that storm. They were all safe and sound on my second story which took about an inch of water. For two weeks after the storm we cops and some fireman salvaged all kinds of different stuff just to live on. Food ,clothes, boats, fuel, propane tanks,burners, ammo....anything that would make life a little easier in the aftermath. That type of situation really brings out your resoursefulness and ingenuity.

a pair of Dewalt 18 volt battery drills!!! They had no batteries and were pretty beat up. Batteries were no problem, I have ten spares Now use them as my "loaners"

Ooh. yeah. I grabbed a 14.4 Craftsman drill at Goodwill that didn't have a battery. I came home and ordered one online. Presto. That's my favorite drill!

Lumber, rebar, rope, toolboxes, tackle boxes, rusted tools (which cleaned up fine). The list could go on and on.
The tourist leave their "Old Style" Propane bottles that can not be refilled by the dumpster. You can't get them refilled, but you can exchange them at Home Depot for a new full bottle. I have snagged about ten of these in the last 3 years. A new EMPTY bottle cost $43.00 here.
Most recently - Two 20 lb propane bottles (one half full), smoker, assorted files, candles, grease gun with six full cartridges, scrap steel bar stock.
I got a cheapo floor drill press without the motor like new?, couple hundred yards of red 3/4" wide nylon webbing from an old sewing shop that made dog leashes, a steel truck tool box from the Tractor Supply dumpster with a couple of dents, otherwise nice. Misc old shelving and cabinets from a flower shop that was being remodeled.
Thank goodness for trucks.
