Score from this morning - fiberglass table, left curbside in front of a condo.

In perfect condition too...nothing broken!

And whoever carted this out to the curb took care not to let anything get busted. Love the dedication to excellence!

Found these cool Monaco GP cappuccino / expresso cups at a garage sale. New in the box. (I don't drink cappuccino so if somebody wants them for $35 send me a PM.)

[porsche930dude]

Iv got a mug like that ^

I bought these micrometers for $100 off of our local garage sale bulletin board. They are no-name imports. 0 - 12" with the standards and wrenches. They're fine for the accuracy that I need.

[Scott Douglas]

A neighbor gave me this the other day. He wanted it out of his garage and figured since I mow my own lawns I'd use it.
I hope to save the engine off it at a minimum.





It's a 'ran when parked' kind of deal.

^I had a King like that. Front-throw mowers are beasts.

Saw someone on nextdoor post their Bosch dishwasher broke but could be used for parts, $20.

Someone crushed the electrical wire and there was a small kids fork stuck in the impeller.

$20 trip to Lowe's for a install kit and some cleaning up and got a perfectly working stainless steel Bosch dishwasher to replace my loud, crappy 20 year old Kitchen Aid.

That is a score! We have a Bosch that we love. It’s so quiet that when my parents come my mom doesn’t believe me that it’s running when she is standing right next to it! They make anoying ass beeping sound when they are done cycling though, lookup the manual and you can find out to turn that off.

[1990C4S]

^^^ Same...post the answer please.

[biosurfer1]

Got it installed, works great and so damn quiet. Yes, definitely has an annoying beep when done that goes on for minutes it seems.

One thing I wasn't ready for is it says it's done but if you open the door right away, be ready for super hot steam to blast your face. "Dry" and "Done" doesn't mean cool yet.

OK--you win

I forgot about the Miller High Life buckle which was part of the deal. The brushes are already at the project home(and the Trooper was NOT included in the sale)

Free at curbside today....in good working condition.......

[herr_oberst]

Enough turf from a nearby landscape project that the contractors had left in a free pile that I could sod this patch and another similar section. Exactly what I needed! My neighbor had just had her lawn done, and this bit on my property was looking scruffy. The universe provides!
