A BOB Reolvution jogging stroller with front swivel but missing the front wheel. Upon closer inspection it is pretty beat up and in fact both seatbelts have been cut, for some reason. This may be harvested for parts or stored for a while, we are not sure.
Maclaren Quest pushchair, pretty nice condition except for a bit of dirt around the area the offspring contacts the thing. It will clean up nicely and be pressed back into service.
Yet another Joovy Caboose, simply functional for anybody who needs such a thing. Cleaned up and ready to go.
Instep Safari TT double jogger, plain and simple and easy to fold, needed a clean. Now ready to go on the list of craig.
Bumbleride Indie Twin stroller in some color scheme that is aparently quite appealing. It was abandoned by the side of the road on bulk garbage day and was pretty dirty and neglected. No matter, the fabric unpops eaily and washes up nicely. The overall design is really nice, a well engineered and useful device worth fixing up.
Given that it cleaned up to be pristine maybe the dirt was the reason for discard.
The Britax B-ready. Interesting name. Over under format double stroller, like the original Phil and Teds. It was filthy but is now clean and ready for action.
Not sure what to make of this thing, it seems pretty well designed but there are some less than nice touches like plasticy wheels and such.
This random petrol lawn mower started up when we tested it at the dump. Then we had to take it, that is the rule. Cleaned up a little and will be used by the neighbours. The wheel drive does not work but meh. Even came with half a tank of fuel. Was a touch low on oil but we have a fix for that.
We picked up several boxes of stainless steel (and other) nuts and bolts. The ones shown in the picture are the ones we cannot really use, but there were a bunch more in useful sizes that are now stored away in little boxes.
We found two folding outdoor chairs. One had a bent frame and the other had several split wooden slats. Much careful extraction enabled us to build up a good set of slats on two new mounting rails on the good frame. New stainless carriage bolts and we are good to go.
We got 6 700C bike wheels plus a tire or two. One wheel was both a glue-on and also was bent but the others are all fine. These will be stored away to restore a bike back to ridability at some point in the future.
A small Servess Vise, ideal for your offspring to use when learning how to hammer on things or file them down. Key life skills.
A Top Tube adaptor thingy. Brand new but seems to be of dubious utility. Maybe we will find somebody who wants it.
A nice mixed selection. First up an Uppababy, has a couple of issues but either we will fix them or combine it with another partial Uppababy and make a complete one.
Also a Baby Jogger, classic model, works fine as a jogger. Just needed air in the tires and some oil on a couple of moving parts.
Also a Joovy Caboose in stylish orange. Pic coming soon.
Some outdoor tools, first a Craftsman string trimmer. It looks in good shape, might go with some fiddling.
Also a slightly stripped pressure washer. Has compression in the motor, does not seem damaged.
These both for a tinkerer friend who has the skill and time to do them justice.
This random wooden high chair was just what some friends needed for their small monstrous offspring. Voila, ask and you shall receive.
This pair of garden shears are very nice. Beautifully made, nice tight joint. The nicest pair we have found in a long time.
A very long piece of garden hose, no leaks, and a rolling reel. They seem to work OK set up together. Picked up with a friend who now has a hose in their new garden.
A Farberware electric broiler thingy, new in the box. It claims to be super mult-functional, no idea if it works well in any of these tasks but a friend will try it out and see what happens.
