2010-04-10 Stainless Steel Sink

We got this stainless steel sink a while ago but only recently the barbeque ash pan rusted out and we cast around for a replacement. It turns out that this standard size sink slides into the slots under the BBQ quite nicely, modulo some hammering on the alignment strips. And everybody loves hammering.

Note that this BBQ came from the scrap and is in great shape as it is all stainless, except for the ash pan that was cheapo thin zinc plated steel. We hope that with all the improvments we are making this cooking implement will outlive us.

2010-04-10 Spalding Blade Bike

A Spalding Blade road bike, in reasonable shape, ready for cleanup and then sale to hipsters in a large nearby city.

2010-04-10 Raleigh Mixte

Next up a Raleigh Mixte road bike, in reasonable shape bar the crunched front wheel from the bucket loader packing it into the scrap metal container. Not to worry, we have a spare in stock and it shall ride again. Under the arse of some trendy character.

2010-04-10 Hoop

This Basketball Hoop is, as you can see, new in the box. We set it up so that certain small offspring could attempt to toss balls through the hoop and they seem to be entertained thus far.

2010-04-10 Coleman Lamps

These two Coleman Lamps have been used and need new mantles but otherwise seem in fine shape. They shall be deployed at the next crazy nightime weirdness event we end up at.

2010-04-03 Miele Vacuum Cleaner

This Miele was dumped in the scrap metal area and one of the annoying old men had cut the power cable off for the 5 cents worth of copper therein. We inspected the innards and spliced a plug on for testing purposes and it seems to work fine.

Particularly galling is the fact that this seems to be quite an expensive (though discontinued) item, see the next pic for some demonstration of that.

For now we will replace the power cord with the correct Miele one and deploy this on the top floor of our abode to save carrying the others up there.

2010-04-03 Kenmore Dryer

This random Kenmore dryer is seemingly nearly new and we are informed by the previous owner that it works fine. Available to any readers of this page and shortly to readers of the list of craig.

2010-04-03 Graco Duo Glider

Yet another random Graco Duo Glider stroller, this will find a home via the list of craig like the rest of them that we have found.

These things are not the best quality but if you have two lazy offspring you need to move around they are a good basic option, we suppose.

2010-04-03 Britax Car Seat

This Britax Boulevard car seat is only a year or so old and has barely been used. The previous owners had cut the straps before discarding this predominantly plastic item in the scrap metal. We stripped it down to check for damage and such but it seems fine. We put on new straps and now we have a shiny new Britax seat.

This "cut the straps" meme is obviously a great delight to the seat manufacturers as it is fear based marketing that masquerades as concern for consumers and happens to sell more seats.

2010-04-03 Bobby Car

This green Bobby-Car seems to have been imported from Germany and used a fair bit before discard. This will be retained for a while as we have use for such things for the meantime.
