A random Ridgid Shop Vac. Switch was bad but a new one was cheap. Also needed a new cable and that was in stock reclaimed from some prior appliance.

A random dining table. It is not super old but had a huge scratch and a bunch of paint splats on it. We sanded out the top and refinished it, now ready to hold up somebody's dinner.

Shown here without legs attached after getting second coat of varnish. Three coats total.
A pair of stools. Loose joints fixed by regluing and the tops were scratched so they got sanded and varnished. Ready for somebody who needs things to sit on.

An outdoor folding table. Could be teak, not really sure about that. Picture shows it after having been oiled.

A bag full of various bike parts including tires, tubes, tools and other stuff. A bunch of this stuf fis fancy Japanese market stuff.

An old Toshiba EliteBook 8570p laptop. It is a bit of a clunker but it is now converted into a chromebook for use by people who have needed of digital literacy education and hardware assistance. Shown here running Knoppix to check the specs, 8x core i7 2.70GHz and 8G RAM.

A Miele HX1 stick vacuum. It was a little grubby and needed a lot of cleaning around the floowbrush etc. It charges and runs fine the but there is structural damage in the mechanism that clips the dirt bin to the handle.

We may try to replace a couple of parts to make this a complete usable machine.
A round outdoor table with glass top, picked up on request of a friend. The aluminium frame is a little out of round but I think we can coerce it close enough.

A random Marin mountain bike is neglected but good condition. Air in the tyres and some oil here and there and it is good to go.

A Dualit 2+1 toaster. The deal here is that two slots are for toast and one is for using the sandwich cage. This seems a bit of a downgrade through over specialization, but whatever.

Yet more dining chairs, this time they seem to have been spray painted recently to refinish them in a light colour. Underneath they are black or dark brown and there are some spots where the pale spray was a little thin. Clearly the previous owner's grand plans did not pan out so they tossed them.

There is always demand for sets of dining chairs appaerently, and these will go to meet some of that.
A 3 quart All-Clad sauce pan with lid. It was a little grubby but cleaned up nicely.

Four black dining chairs in good condition, dusty and a few scratches but good for somebody who needs something to sit on while eating.

Four wooden dining chairs that were just sitting by the side of the road. A few scratches and dings but good to go for somebody who is in need of chairs.

Two matching side table things. They each have a weird little writing platform that slides out. They seem not to be useful.

Maybe the new owners will find a use for them.
