Free: Tool Stand, old steel furnace (Newport News, Bruton Ave) Got this with an old 3-wheeled band saw mounted on top. As I recall the top of the tool stand is like 36 or 37 inches from the floor. I decided to store the band saw on a shelf or under a work bench, to gain usable floor space in the garage. Looks like an old oil furnace. Has three steel wheels, but they're very rusted. 2 cast iron "feet". Haven't tried, but I THINK one side can be removed by taking off the two screws at the bottom. Sheet metal might be cut to provide storage underneath. Hate to scrap it if someone can use it. I live on Bruton Ave in Newport News, a ways east of Harpersville.

Free: Electric Pet Door (Newport News, Bruton Ave) Gifted First picture shows a new one online. Size is large or extra large, can't recall. We had a 100 pound German Shepard mix at the time. We brought ours to the new house in 2018, but never installed it. Untested. Runs on batteries. Have a couple "transmitters" included, which you attach to your dog's collar. When within range, the doggie door unlocks, and your dog can pass thru. Unless your cat is smart and fast, it can't go outside. I found replacing the batteries was hard to remember to do. If you'd hook it up to a battery charger with batteries, I THINK it would work fine. Again, it's untested, and has sat for several years on our back porch. I'm on Bruton Ave in Newport News, east of Harpersville Rd.

Free: HP laser jet color printer (Newport News, Bruton Ave) Gifted LaserJet Pro CM1415fnw color MFP. I rec'd it from several months ago. Can't recall if it worked fine at first, but after a while it would print one page, then jam the next blank sheet. I'd pull the paper tray out and pull the blank sheet out. I learned to just print one page at a time. I also printed from the USB port. Sometimes my Wifi worked, depending on the application I was printing from. I'll throw in an unopened black toner cartridge (3 pics). MIGHT find some smaller color cartridges, but can't find them now. Paper manual, and I can email what digital papers I downloaded.

Free: Pull-Down Kitchen Faucet Spay Head (Newport News, Bruton Ave) Gifted Never used. Wrote to Kohler to have ours replaced by warranty. Got impatient and ordered this $8 one. Kohler delivered before I got this installed. Kudos to Kohler. Make sure your kitchen faucet is like the one in pic, with pull-down hose spray head. This will NOT replace the sprayer mounted to the side of your faucet. The connecting end is the size of a penny, as shown. Can leave on porch in Newport News, on Bruton Avenue. Not sure, but I think the round button is for temporarily stopping the water.

Free: Blades for Ceiling Fan, whitish (Newport News, Bruton Ave) Gifted I bought these, as I recall, from ReStore years ago, to replace blades my son broke in his room. The hole spacing wasn't the same, so they couldn't be used. Then later he salvaged an entire fan from a remodel house. These appear to be from a fan that was 40 to 44 inches in diameter. The bolt hole spacing is very near or equal to 1-1/2 inch. Can leave on porch, on Bruton Avenue, in Newport News, a bit east of Harpersville.

Free: Very Old 120 volt Christmas bulbs (Newport News, Bruton Ave) Gifted Got about 45 or 50 of them. I only have the blubs, not the electrical strings (no idea why not). You can still buy lights and strings for these off Amazon. They take 110 volt, 7 watt (I assume) C7 (or E-12 candelabra) bulb bases. I THINK these were made in the 1960s by General Electric. They've got tiny glass or clear plastic cubes on them, to make them look like ice balls. I'll also toss in the light bulb covers (guess around 25 or 30) shown in the pics, which make a bell-looking cover. Located on Bruton Ave, a bit east of Harpersville.

340d

Free: Folding Door for Closet, white (Newport News, Bruton Ave) Gifted Folding Door for Closet, fake panels, white. As I recall, it's 14-3/4 inches wide (folded), and I think 79 inches tall. I can measure again if you'd like. I believe it'll fit a closet door opening 30 wide, by 80 tall. Curb shopped I assume. Doesn't come with the track for the top. Pretty good condition. I'm on Bruton a bit east of Harpersville in Newport News.

Free: Old used Jig Saw Puzzles, 5 (Newport News, Bruton Ave) Gifted Old used Jig Saw Puzzles, 5 count. Left over from church rummage sale. I can only assure the 100-piece one of "Where's Waldo" is totally complete. The others, not so sure. Might be good for crafts, like making Christmas wreaths or ornaments? My guess is the 500 piece on in the small box, of the beach scene, is most likely to have missing pieces. Can leave on porch, on Bruton, a bit east of Harpersville.
