This will be a long post. I will try and break it up in a couple of posts. On Thursday, May 8th, I left work and picked up a loaded trailer (I had loaded the trailer up the previous weekend with appliances. Pictures 1 and 2). I headed out from Austin, MN and only made it 100 miles down the...

Yesterday morning I spotted this ad on Facebook Marketplace for this dryer. I messaged the guy asking if I could purchase it after work. He agreed. When I got off of work at 6 last night, I drove the almost 2 hours to the seller's place. The dryer is in really good condition. The seller said it...

I recently picked up this Kenmore washer. I believe it to be from about 1957. I plugged it in and did a dry run with it and it appears everything is working on it. I have not hooked up water to it yet.

Another Facebook find. The seller had an ad for a Speed Queen wringer washer. I already had the exact model of washer, but in the ad sitting next to it, was this dryer. I messaged her about it and she said it was for sale also. She gave me a price and we agreed upon a time for me to go get it...

A couple of months ago I spotted an ad for an early Bendix. I messaged the seller, and we agreed upon a time for me to come and purchase it. The seller had lived in this house for a number of years and the Bendix was in the basement when she purchased the house. She just recently sold the house...

I picked up what I believe to be a 1969 GE stove. I'm beginning to like the coppertone brown color. They said the sensi-temp burner didn't work, but they also admitted they weren't sure how to operate it either. I haven't had a chance to check it out as of yet. The oven door glass does have a...

A couple months ago, I found an ad on one of those give away groups on Facebook. I immediately messaged the person stating I was interested in them. Since I was the first to respond I got them. I picked them up later that day. They said the washer worked but that the dryer needed the idler...

When I was a child, my grandfather had a 1983 Ford Ranger truck, that he had bought new. It was white with tan interior. It was a basic truck. I don't remember it having a/c in it. I used to ride around in the truck with him. Sometime in the late 90's the truck went away. Then in 2011 my...

I recently painted my kitchen this yellow then installed my GE Americana refrigerator. I also had the 2 GE Mobile Maid dishwashers. On my recent trip, I picked up the Americana range. My GE kitchen is complete. I will be doing a turquoise tile for the backsplash. I want to get one that's a...

I'm sure a lot of us have had an issue, where we see an appliance, we love and would love to purchase, but it is several hundred miles away or more. Having one shipped can get expensive, sometimes more than what the machine is worth. I am planning on a trip from Minnesota to Los Angeles...

I found this Easy Spindrier on Facebook Marketplace near Phoenix, AZ. I had a friend who was able to get it from the seller. It is now in my friend's possession. I will be going to get it in either October or November. The pictures are from the Facebook ad.

I was scrolling through Facebook Marketplace and found an ad for a barn cleanout. The first picture is one of the pictures in the original ad. I could tell they were a washer and dryer, or at least hoped. Couldn't tell the brand name. I messaged the seller saying I was interested in them and...

Why have only 1 GE Mobile Maid Dishwasher in Coppertone Brown, when you can have 3? The left one was recently found by a friend at the local Habitat for Humanity Restore and she picked it up for me. Haven't tested it yet. The middle one, I've had for close to 7 years. Last time I used it...

I just got these. They were posted as the gas dryer works for $20 and the washer not working for free. Round trio was about 500 miles total. I have not tested the washer and the seller didn't know what the issue was. He recently bought a house that had these in the basement. The previous...

This fall I picked up this Maytag washing machine. It was listed on Facebook marketplace. I haven't had a chance to check it out as of yet.

Back this past fall I found a Facebook marketplace ad for a vintage dryer. I drove over 3 hours to get it. It had belonged to the guy's grandmother. When she died in 2004, his dad didn't want to do anything with the house and it's contents. He passed away several years back and now the...

About 4.5 years ago (November 2019), I put all my appliances in storage. My now ex and I had sold our house and moved into our motorhome. In April of 2021, we separated and I moved into an apartment. In May of 2022, I moved from Phoenix, Arizona to Austin, Minnesota and bought a house. The...

Back in May when I got my own apartment, I needed a couch. I didn't want to buy a new one. My sister's husband wanted to get rid of their old set, so they gave me theirs. Prior to my sister owning it, it belonged to my grandparents, who purchased it new. Anyways I just discovered it's the...

This add for "Mid-Century" lamps came up. I actually like the idea of turning the agitators into lamps. I've turned a drum into a chandelier before. https://offerup.com/item/detail/802852113/

One of the local Auction houses here happened to have this Bendix Ironer. I've wanted an ironer for a while. I ended up bidding online (online or in house auction) and ended up winning it. I just picked it up today. Here are the auction pictures of it.
