the boss guy sees the stuff missing and said, "see? i know what i am talking about. told you someone would want the stuff".

my entire office rolled their eyes in unison. i replied with a "hmm-um"

What is your Boss's email address again?

Sure you would...

You be you.....live your best life. Never let someone control your emotions. Move on, focus on all the positive in your life. I hear what you’re saying, but just laugh it off.... otherwise every time you see the dock it’s going to fester and ruin your mood. You’re married, living near a lake and are into Porsche’s. You’re winning on all accounts! Enjoy [emoji6]

I moved on in the first page. But this is fun. :D

Their house was an Airbnd party palace for 2 years before these people moved in so I'm grateful to have them there. When they first moved in they asked if they could use my dock. 2 parents and 3 teenage kids. I'm like "sorry, but no!" I could tell they thought I was being a dick.

I guess my dock looked pretty inviting. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1590598006.jpg

You miss the point. That could have been another's table that his neighbor threw in the lake. The table and the pallet top dock are a fking eye-sore.

That has nothing to do with Rod getting rid of his table. Notice that this thread is about Rod and his table and his neighbor - not about neighborhood aesthetics.

That's an awesome setup! Hey Cliff....swing by on yer way and I'll chip in for gas :)

If I see a free big wooden table in reach of my house
I'll get it either way..

nice wood burns nice in my stove.


You gave it away, for free..
because you wanted it out of your way..
It's out of your way now isn't it?


I really don't see the problem

lgb240 05-28-2020 05:08 AM

So renters did this??
I'm sure the owner of the property will be thrilled to deal with the shanty dock structure when they leave.

Your notion to care about the table should be left at the curb with it.

Nice area you're in....I'm close enough to take you up on your visitation offer!

Yep, You're right. Thanksgiving dinner is now sitting in chairs and sofas in front of the TV. Who needs a 4 x 8 table.

I don't go to family dinners anymore because of that. I'm not looking at cousin pin head in his shorts and flip flops.

Tables were helpful at least in that respect.

911 Rod 05-28-2020 08:06 AM

Yes renters. They really don't care about much. Did I mention they have 4 wheelers? They think they are lawn toys.

Funny thing is the table has built in extensions to make it twice as long and the maroons probably didn't even notice that they could do this.

911 Rod 06-01-2020 03:20 PM

The story ends here. Hopefully someone doesn’t get hurt hitting the table or skid out on the lake. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1591053440.jpg

porsche930dude 06-01-2020 03:44 PM

Thats why I dont like to give away stuff for free that has any sort of sentimental value. But it doesnt help much to get money for it anyway. People would still treat it like sh@t. I do cleanouts sometimes and for many years just gave away the furniture items or burnt them. Last year found a consignment shop 50/50 split but a very high turnover rate they have sold 95% of the junk i brought in. Now i pick stuff up just to bring there. To answer your question yeah id be a bit miffed. We gave away a big old trunk at a garage sale to my next door neighbor she had a freind that suposidly collects them. Well it sat in her open garage for 6 months getting crapd on by barn swallows so i took it back and brought it to the consignment shop

billybek 06-01-2020 03:58 PM

One of Rod's buddies will probably run the damn table over with his boat, look at the table after and think didn't Rod have a table just like that one?;)

GH85Carrera 06-02-2020 08:07 AM

At my old office we would put "stuff" of all sorts out front to let people that wanted it have it. I got rid of two old cheap builder's grade toilets that I replaced from our house. They were gone in 30 minutes. All sorts of crazy stuff was someones new treasure. It was better than putting the stuff in the landfill.

We even got rid of a 60 inch wide solvent based printer. We had paid over 40 grand for it, but not even the manufacturer could get it to work when they sent the factory service guy to work on it. It went away in the back of a guys pickup. Some tweaker had lots of fun taking it apart.

vash 06-02-2020 08:31 AM

when i bought my current home, there was a fridge in the garage. fairly new, and clearly recently cleaned.

i loaded it up and brought it to the office. i kid you not, a fight happened!! one guy, (now my supervisor) got aggro..i wanted to to put in our kitchen..everyone wanted it for their kids apartments, garage, etc.

i just sat back and watch the idiots work it out. my boss won and it ended up going to LA where his niece just moved her from Afghanistan for her doctorates or something. i dont know how they determined a winner.

Very heavy. 4' x 4'. Extends to 4' x 8'. Nothing fancy.
Put it on Kijiji for $50 as there are a ton for sale.

Gave up after a couple of weeks and put it on the front lawn free.

The renters next door grabbed it and put it in the lake for a makeshift dock.

At first I was pissed because I thought a family with little money could use it.

Should I be?

You shouldn't be. After you decided to put it out for free, you should forget about it. In fact, you rather have someone pick it up quick, than multiple calls of "I'll come tomorrow" and no show.
