One last try..........

I often lend tools, and never write down who has them. I have given up on a steel shovel that disappeared a few years ago - they don't make them like that any more. It was my Dad's, so probably 50 years old, and distinguishable by the bolt and nylock nut that secured the scoop to the new handle.

I have exhausted all the places I can think of  for my missing step/platform ladder. It also was Dad's and very old but much better quality and sturdier than anything I can buy to replace it. If you happen to have my ladder, please let me know.

It looks very much like this one, but the paint tray is aluminum, and there is electrician's tape at the top .
