2010-03-06 Honda Wheels

This is a set of Honda Accord wheels, they look to be new take-offs, with hub caps. Somebody in our vicinity will want these and that will be just fine.

2010-03-06 Chicco Pushchair

This is some random cheapo Chicco stroller, but it is in good shape and Chicco have a good name so we think that somebody will want it.

2010-03-06 Cast Iron Pan

This is a long awaited item and turned up thanks to Walter, our man on the spot. It is a nameless cast iron size 12 skillet with heat ring. It measures 13 inches from lip to lip and hence fits a random lid we had lying around and also perfectly complements our existing nest of cast iron pans.

Update: It is has already been cleaned and cured and we look forward to deploying it in strategic feeding manouvres. It has quite a bit of usage to go before it catches up with the deep shiny black of the rest of our cast iron, but we will do our best.

Update 2: Added the picture of it after a fair bit of use, mouse over for that.

2010-03-06 Britax Verve

This slightly funky thing is a Britax Verve. The previous owner were doubly clueless. The presumed reason for discard is a broken piece that stems from their inability to fold it properly. Also they had jammed open the brakes with a twig due to a cable coming out of its slot. It will be made available forthwith, having had the faults fixed.

2010-02-13 Wood Box

This wooden basket-like storage container was in the scrap wood dumpster. It needed one joint gluing and a quick sand and some finish of some form (shown in the pic). Whatever was wrong with it was certainly no good reason for discard.

It seemed to have had some previous finish on it that was just not very good, so it should not have been in the scrap wood dumpster at all. That is only for untreated wood. The previous owner was not only clueless for junking something with no real reason for discard but also clueless for tossing it incorrectly!

2010-01-25 Maclaren Pushchair

This is yet another fine Maclaren pushchair in very nice condition and all ready for a new home. The previous Maclaren sold well so this should wander off quickly also, via the list of craig.

2010-01-16 Maclaren Pushchair

This Maclaren pushchair is in near perfect shape and was callously discarded in the deepest pit of landfill fodder. Rescued, a quick clean and it is ready for a new owner. They shall become known to us via the list of craig.

Update: Sold promptly to a lady who wanted to use it for a "destination wedding" in Las Vegas. While we agree that these Maclarens are handy for travelling we have to laugh at people who first figure out the need for a practical stroller when their horrible offspring reaches the age of four and a half. They had another stroller prior to this but it was of a type never supposed to be used and when they used it to go to a "Christmas Special" discovered that.

2010-01-09 Trike

This Giant brand kids' trike is in OK shape and may amuse offspring of a certain age and/or capability, so we will give it a try.It has roller-blade style wheels, for some reason or other.

2010-01-09 Snowblower

This Murray Ultra snowblower was tossed because the pull cord housing had come unmounted from the side of the engine. Note that if you hold the housing on with one hand and pull the cord with the other then it starts. It will probably be fixable with just some screws or pop-rivets. It runs a bit rough but has great compression and such so some form of carburetter adjustment will probably be in order. Either way, a nice find, approriate for the time of years and should have a long service life ahead of it.

Update: This seems to be claimed by distant family member. They get tom come and pick it up though, there is probably not a convenient flat-rate box for it.

2010-01-09 Snow Shovel

A random wide blade snow shovel that is a little beat up but happens to be a type that we like for certain types of snow. No, we are not like apocraphyl eskimos who taxonomize 37 different types of snow. Our driveway is pretty sensitive to snow and having the exactly correct tool really helps. Pic possibly to come.
