2015-05-31 Sucking Devices

A selection of devices for sucking up dirt. First a grungy Craftsman shopvac seemingly with all attachments included. Found with/for a friend, will sit in the garage workship and suck up wood shavings or whatever.

Also a random Kenmore vacuum cleaner. This is for the upstairs so they do not have to drag their existing one up and down stairs to keep the house clean.

2015-05-31 Specialized Mountain bike

This nice Specialized mountain bike was presumably discarded due to two broken nipples on the rear wheel. The wheel was slightly out of true as a result. This, we presume led to it's being neglected, which led to the chain rusting and hence ultimate discard.

New nipples installed, new chain already on, just finishing it off with new grips and rear brake cable.

2015-05-31 Ryobi Tools

A big fat plastic box with a couple of handy battery powered Ryobi tools, minus the battery. This is a little tricky to do testing and such but might be fruitful at some point.

2015-05-31 Dehumidifier

An LG dehumidifier, condition unknown. We shall soon see I guess. Though maybe somebody or something somewhere soon will be slightly less humid.

Update: Works fine, pressed into service.

2015-05-31 Craftsman String Trimmer

A junky electric string trimmer for a friend. Who knows, it might even work.

2015-05-31 Bosch Router

This Bosch router seems to be in good condition and works fine. This is a really nice device and as with many items this trip, found for/with a friend. He is more or less set up with his workshop now from stuff that has appeared on this page.

2015-05-31 BBQ

Something Red blah blah BBQ. Not sure about the exact name. This looks in fine structural shape and such but not sure about the gas parts. Testing will occur and all is not lost should that prove negative, it is well set up inside to become a charcoal grill. Found with/for a friend.

2015-05-30 Raleigh M30

This cheapo Raleigh M30 mountain bike had apparently manifested the cheapness of it's build by a failed freewheel. We attempted to swap on a new one but there was something strange going on in the rear there so we just swapped on a whole new rear wheel from spares.

Ready to go now, all shiny and looking for a new owner on the list of craig.

2015-05-24 Raleigh MXR

This random Raleigh BMX style bike thingy was missing the brake cable, probably from when it was new. Barely used. We put in the required parts from stores and gave it some air and it is a fine offspring amusement device.

2015-05-20 Evergreen Tree

This small evergreen tree was discarded without the pot it had spent time in recently. How sad. We grabbed it and planted it in a hole in the ground. We shall see if it survives that ordeal.
