This bike trailer thingy is in very nice shape except for the missing pedals and the seat. It might be the case that is new, unused and never properly assembled, but that is all fine. We will find the parts to complete it and find ait a nice home, possibly using the list of craig.
Throughout this year we have debated buying one of these. never knowing which one to get and such. Well, that of course was a silly activity but did serve to hold us off buying one until we get a free one, brand new, unused, from the garbage.
This will be deployed at the earliest opportunity on the BBQ when some vegetable matter needs to be charred.
This Baby Jogger jogging stroller has the large wheels, is lightweight and in near perfect shape. It still had air in the tyres. Its new owner will be made known to us once they see this item on the list of craig.
This Kool Stride double jogging stroller is in fine shape, and after air in the tyres and a quick clean is ready for a debut on the list of craig. The last one we found like this, a red one, is still with us but now we have the advantage of choice to offer.
This Anolon brand teflon wok/pan thingy is in pretty fine shape. We have no use for it but I am sure somebody out there does, even as just a disposable pan for one trip??? Bob?
While putting in a number of replacement windows we found ourselves in need of 4 5ft 2 by 4s, 3 3ft 2 by 4s and numerous smaller pieces of 5/4 x 4. On the way to the lumber yard we looked in on the scrap wood and picked up 3 5ft 5/4 x 4 and 7 or so 8-10ft 2 by 4s. Just what we wanted. We still had to proceed to the store to pick up a 2 by 6 and some insulation foam but it was quite nice that most of our needs were already met. Pic shows a random offcut of 2 by 4. Not very informative.
This first was mentioned previously in conjunction with another double jogger. It is a Kool Stride and had a small retaining pin missing on the folding mechanism. Recently we found a bike trailer that had been crushed by a bucket loader and salvaged a suitable pin from it to fix this thing. The picture shows it all clean and ready for the list of craig:
This next item is a Joovy Caboose, which for the stroller impaired is a sit-n-stand style. One of these has passed through our hands before. This one was wrapped up in brown package tape and pretty dirty. Careful application of a pressure washer (you know which one) and some cleaning materials yields the glorious device shown in the picture, ready for its grand debut on the list of craig.
This Cuisinart coffee machine was in fine shape when picked up and just needed a clean. We ran lots of vinegar through and flushed it and such, then brewed a test batch of coffee, shown here. We have no need of a coffee machine that has an LCD and beeps, luddites that we are, so this is available.
A random little cast iron steam radiator, enticing to the various users of the list of craig in this season of heating maintanance.
This Next Slumber Party bike is pretty horrendous but we can probably find some acquaintance who has an offspring that will fixate on this particular train wreck of gender stereotypes.
Update: Sold to a nice lady whose female offspring appreciated this ensemble of memes. We know she is nice because she bought stuff from us before. We like return customers, they get stuff super cheap.
This Dell LCD monitor is a the bog-standard offering that comes with their package deal and has nothing wrong with it, as testified by the fact that you can see Ray Winstone's face below. I guess somebody just bought a bigger monitor and tossed this one.
This is a lamp for shooting home movies that is pretty old, we think, but also pretty unused. It does provide substantial illumination and so may come in handy at some stage. Meanwhile we get to admire the fine packaging design.
These wheels were pulled of a partly crushed Emmaljunga pram. They will help us save some future pram or be sold off to help somebody else do so.
This Peg Perego Venezia pushchair is pretty nice and in near new condition except for the lack of a hood. We shall consult our supplies as we may have that in stock. Either way it will be heading off to new owners somehow.
This firewood storage rack is new in the box. It got a bit wet between discard and the picture you see but that should not affect the ultimate functionality of it when some friend of ours assembles and uses it. Hal?
This Fuji Sand Blaster mountain bike is pretty handy, despite technically being a mountain bike. The previous owner seems to have had some pretty wild and whacky ideas of exactly what the chain is supposed to do on a bike. This is a not a problem as we are traditionalists in this regard and once we have imposed our stodgy views upon things it should be fine.
What a stupid name for a bike, and how confusing. Sand Blaster, not Fuji.
A bookshop seemingly discarded a large pile of new books, including such things as advance reader copies and such. Possible pics later.
This Avalon twin pushchair is not the fanciest device in its class but is pretty small, lightweight, folds nicely and could be usefull for somebody. That somebody will become known to use via the list of craig.
We will be replacing some more windows soon and it was highly fortuitous that some lengths of clean 2x4 showed up. We now have them in stock and ready for miscellaneous framing purposes. No pic, you know what a 2x4 looks like.
This Schwinn Varsity road bike is in more or less new-old-stock condition except for the slightly critical absence of wheels and front brake pads. No matter, a lesser bike will have its wheels removed to put this thing back on the road under a hipster's arse.
Mouseover for the cleaned up pic.
