2017-05-27 Folding Chair

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.

2017-05-06 Wheels

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.

2017-05-06 Vise

A small Servess Vise, ideal for your offspring to use when learning how to hammer on things or file them down. Key life skills.

2017-05-06 Top Tube

A Top Tube adaptor thingy. Brand new but seems to be of dubious utility. Maybe we will find somebody who wants it.

2017-05-06 Strollers

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.

2017-05-06 Power Tools

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.

2017-05-06 Nailgun

An electric Nail Master nail gun new in the box. Very strange thing to find.

2017-05-06 High Chair

This random wooden high chair was just what some friends needed for their small monstrous offspring. Voila, ask and you shall receive.

2017-05-06 Garden Shears

This pair of garden shears are very nice. Beautifully made, nice tight joint. The nicest pair we have found in a long time.

2017-05-06 Garden Hose

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.

2017-05-06 Electric Broiler

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.

2017-05-06 Cast Iron Pan

A smallish but quite nice cast iron pan.

2017-05-06 Bench Grinder

A Craftsman bench grinder. Note, this is only a bench grinder under the broadest definition of such. The main body is plastic. Handy to have if it is free and you don't have one, maybe. Another item for a friend and we will be looking out for a beter one for him.

2017-04-29 Snap N Go

Yet another Snap and Go style stroller frame. Near perfect condition, ready for a new home.

2017-04-29 Jack

A Craftsman Aluminium Jack with built-in jack light. Missing half the handle, seems to work fine and holds the weight of a car for a couple of hours. This should be long enough to get jackstands underneath even if you have to walk to NAPA to buy them while the car is in the air.

Obligatory muppets ref: Jack not name, jack job.

2017-04-29 Castors

Two sets of castors that seem to be for metro wire style shelving. They might come in handy, might not. If they sell on the list of craig before we find a use for them then so be it.

2017-04-29 Bikes

A couple of random bikes. First a Diamond Back Approach, sort of a hyrbid style thing. More or less never ridden judging by the pristine state of the brake pad contact area on the rims. Somebody will want it, ideal station bike.

Reason for discard, never once used?

The other one is a large frame Miyata from the 1980s or so. Nice enough, no pic yet.

2017-04-29 Aeron Chair

A Herman Miller Aeron chair. It is in very fine condition and all the adjuster thingies work. It was tossed into the general garbage pit and had to be fished out with a broom, a most exciting adventure.

Now we can pretend we worked at a dodgy startup 10 years ago or some such and the only thing we got out of the failure was the chair, which was more valuable than the equity.

2017-04-01 McGee

A copy of McGee, On food and cooking, updated edition. This is nice reference work and we have a copy already so will give this away.

2017-04-01 Hobie Cat

This is kind of guest or vicarious stuff. A Hobie Cat on a trailer showed up in the trash. This picture shows a guy grabbing it from the trash, something we would have had to decide about had he not done it.

Thanks random dude for relieving us of this duty.
