Hi all! Just bought my first home, and I’m diving headfirst into renovations. My budget’s pretty tight, so I'm on the hunt for some decent used building equipment. I remember helping my grandpa fix up his old cabin, and I want to bring that hands-on spirit to my new place. Any recommendations for where to find good used tools would be amazing. Cheers!

Hey there! Congrats on the new home and jumping into renovations—that's super exciting! When it comes to finding good used building tools on a budget, I've been in a similar boat. A few years ago, I helped a friend redo a vintage camper, and we needed to keep costs down. We found some great deals on www.boomandbucket.com/ —they have a pretty solid selection of used equipment that might just fit your needs.

Also, don't forget to hit up local garage sales and estate sales. Sometimes you can find some hidden gems that are just perfect for the kind of hands-on work you're talking about. It's a great way to keep the spirit of building alive, much like the memories you have with your grandpa. Good luck with your renovations!
