Digging around in the basement cleaning, trying to dig up the welding tools. Still no luck. I think I'm going to have to rethink my plan. The welder itself is in the basement, but the mask, gloves, hammer and brushes that I kept in a 5-gal. pail seems to be dog-gone.

The next two weeks are going to be rather tight with money. My big plan is to stay home and work on the house as much as possible while doing the job hunting thing.
