Right now we have had massive rains and my driveway will have to dry out so I can regrade it so I can get to town to get it so it may be Tues. before I can do it.
Thanks for that offer, Mike. It looks like my good friend Charlie has covered the history of the set, but it would be interesting to know what it might be worth nowadays.
As I mentioned, the owner isn't looking to get rich, he simply wants it to go to someone who will appreciate it, and perhaps leave him with a few bucks after covering the shipping expenses.
It sounds as if your weather is very similar to what we're experiencing here in southern Ontario. I was out in my paint shop, in the garage about 100' behind the house, on Friday night, and when I went in the floor was wet in the annex where the paint shop is located. The building was at house at one time, but it's now about 150 years old, and that area of the building is actually a bit below grade. When I came out of the paint shop, there was over an inch of water on the concrete floor, and I could literally see it rising as I stood there.
The next day, it was still wet, but the majority of the water had disappeared through the multitude of cracks in the concrete.
Areas of the backyard, both beside and well-behind the garage, are either under water or so sodden that you can't walk there without sinking into the morass.
In northern and eastern Ontario, it's even worse, with extensive flooding and many homes destroyed.
I hope that we can all see some better weather soon.
