About 3x5ft filthy with dust and some low pile areas , signs of wear. A 77 yo said it was their parents rug in the foyer of her (the 77yo) childhood home. I want to hose it down and get some of the dirt out of it. There’s some areas of high wear and possibly pile flaking off in some spots near the corners and edges

Some are dinged up, some a good condition

I posted it on fb marketplace for $70 and it sold within minutes, which led me to believe it was underpriced. Someone else had offered $50 for just the cars, but it had already gotten clicked for shipping order before that. After seller fees, I got $60 for it.

This happened while loading a U-Haul trailer, it popped off the tow ball from the weight and hit the tailgate. Not sure if I should file a claim with my car insurance, or through U-Haul, but either way, it sucks!

It’s a little over a full cord, about 3/4 oak and 1/4 pine. We picked it up and hauled it back. It’s been seasoned under shelter for 4 to 5 years

They’re originally for raising the height of a mattress. 6ft 10in high X 35in wide X 5.5” thick. Should be a cool budget project for some massive acoustic treatment panels or gobos.

Inquiring about age, condition, and if they’re complete sets. So far it looks like Tyco, Lionel, and American Flyer

What are some tips on cleaning 500 sq/ft of antique hardwood floor in an old historic building. I was gonna shop vac it first, then i guess mop it, steam mop, or something faster more time efficient for a large space. Want to clean all the old dust from it etc. For a shared creative space and music studio.

Another question if we decide to try to scrape the old paint off the floor. (It was previously some sort of wallpaper factory.) The paint might be very old and possibly toxic. Maybe a push scraper then shop vac the chips… what oil finish would be easiest and quickest, if at all necessary…

EDIT: What I know so far about it is antique Tibetan Khaden, about 130 years old, was purchased in Nepal about 50 years ago.
Inquiring what the group may know about origin, value, history, design etc.

EDIT: I’ll swap the fasteners with through bolts and lag screws. And close the quick links and look into a cleaner tensile pull with the doubled up chain points. Yes the wall screws are at studs.
Coated it with some linseed oil, the chains are rated 90 pounds each and the hardware is rated more. 6‘ x 16“

We bought 2 bacon cheeseburger meals and subbed a shake. Total was just under fifty bucks. This seems high priced.

We’ve been rug hunting for our new shared creative space and music recording studio. This one’s a little thinner than I’d have liked but it seems better and more unique than the usual cheap Amazon rugs, etc.

They’re from my grandpa‘s old ranch workshop. I got an offer for $175 for both, would this be a good price to sell them at? Some sentimental value, but I had them listed for the past year so just seeing if this is a good sale price or maybe hold onto them for a while. Also, any other ID or info is appreciated.

It’s got some weight to it. Heavy and solid. I think it was a commission for a handmade piece. The raw welds, the extra weight, and unique design of the locking piece for the swivel area.

First time driving the equinox EV through the Mojave desert between Arizona and California, the cooling energy load required to keep the battery cool in such temps as 105 to 120°F uses a lot of the battery range to allocate that external cooling to keep the car running normally. That’s not including any air-conditioning that you use inside the cabin. I found us driving under 65 mph not using the AC much but still getting 1.7 to 1.9 range. This is because of the extreme thermal overload. The car has to use to keep the battery and engine, cool externally under the hood, in those desert temperatures.
