The more they over-think the plumbing, the easier it is to stop up the toilet.

I bought about 20 pulleys at a yard sale for $0.50 per. I've used at least three of them over the last 5 years so I've gained my money back. On occasion robbing a set screw from one of them has saved me a trip to the hardware store and down time on the saw. My favorite yard sale scores are $5 electric motors.

LOL, my wife has absolutely forbidden me from buying any more motors…$5.00…$3.00…$1.00… NO NO NO SooN she will be adding pulleys to the list. Truth be told, I got more motors then I could ever imagine using in my DIY projects. Pulleys, however..the arbor variations and size relationships still whisper to me their sirens song
