Tools:
Power tools and hand tools from brands known for durability can be long-lasting investments.

Home Improvements:
Items like hardwood floors, quality windows, and well-installed roofing can last for many years.

Personal Items:
Jewelry: Well-made jewelry, particularly items made of precious metals and gemstones, can be a lifetime investment.
Watches: High-end or well-maintained watches can last for generations.
Clothing: Invest in quality clothing made from durable materials that can withstand wear and tear.
Books: Books can last for many years if stored properly and handled with care.

Other:

Investments:
Long-term investments, like stocks or real estate, can grow over decades and provide returns.

It's quite the commitment and not always the easiest of tasks to volunteer to do.

His greatness casts a long shadow.:)

His packing skills of compressing a shop full of gear into a vehicle and then driving all the way to Qld are the stuff of which legends are made.:D

The H0ugh rocks!:thumbsup:
