2007-07-25 Laundry Basket.

Ikea again and potentially not a good item to find used but it is in near perfect condition (one handle loose) and the liner is of course washable. Cool.

2007-07-25 Ikea cornucopia - Office Chair.

The old desk chair was getting a bit ratty and pieces would sort of swivel off at random times so this is a welcome addition to the household, even though it is Ikea. It is more comfy and more functional than previous chair and more or less brand new except for a few cat hairs or something.

2007-07-25 Garden Chair

A folding garden chair of no great notability except for the fact that is is pretty comfy.

2007-07-25 Bookshelves

Ikea bookshelves in perfect condition. This event is fairly astounding as these things tend to fall apart when you move house or even under normal use. They must not have been ever really used. Will be plonked in some bedroom to hold a cache of books, can never have too many bookshelves. Note of course the key advantages of picking other people's Ikea stuff out of their garbage are that we do not have to go near the nightmare swarm of people that perpetually envelope every Ikea and we do not have to do any self-assembly. Win, win, and because it is free, win again. This was found with the chair while we wsere on foot so it was most convenient to put the shelves on the chair and wheel the both home.

2007-07-14 Stainless BBQ

A somewhat monstrous stainless BBQ with side hob and cabinet and stuff. It has a few broken spot welds that we can easily re-weld, then we will convert it to charcoal from gas and proceed to press it into service. Replacement of the junky steels nuts and bolts will also occur, stainless all round now. This should last a while when finished. No real apparent reason for discard.

2007-07-14 Skillet

This is a very early calphalon I think, it has a bowed base so will be returned for a new one.

2007-07-14 Bike Rollers

A set of rollers for when you have a bike but don't actually want to go anywhere with it. Near perfect condition, super spiffy all round. We have no use at all for this, off to Craigslist.

Update: Exchanged for liquid financial instruments via the list of craig.

2007-07-14 BMX

A BMX bike in good shape, needed a flat fix on rear wheel and all ready to go. Available or used for distant family offspring.

Update: As expected it turns out to be coveted by some distant family offspring. Hence saved for such.

2007-06-21 Graco

A graco duo glider double pushchair. All the stuff seems to be present, one or two little things on it are a bit ratty but otherwise seems OK.

2007-06-16 Measuring cups

1/4 and 1/3 cup stainless measuring thingies. I ferreted around trying to find the whole set but alas that seemed too much to ask. If we end up not using them or just getting bored of them we can send them for scrap stainless.

2007-06-16 Fireplace Hardware

A pair of imposing iron fireplace thingies. They are pretty nice and simple and are available to anybody who wants them.
