The auction is expected to have power tools, living room furniture, lawn maintenance equipment, snow blowers, miscellaneous DVDs (including complete box sets), vinyl windows, sheets of 4x8 plywood, a flat screen tv, a DVD player with surround sound system, a portable generator, a power sprayer, surveying equipment, vehicles and much more.

A complete list, with photos, will be posted at www.gov.ns.ca/tran/hottopics/auction.asp before the auction.

The auction will be conducted by Auction Advantage at the Department of Transportation and Infrastructure Renewal warehouse, 10 Acadia St., Dartmouth.
