Free: Workshop Pan? (Lake Forest Park) Expired 16d - This 12 inch pan has damaged Teflon-ey stuff, so not appropriate for cooking anymore. I'm just wondering if there is a appropriate shop use for it. I have boiled hinges, and such to get paint off of them, but this is a little shallow for that. Got any use for it? It will go into my metal recycling bin by next Tuesday.

Free: Howdy doody (Lake Forest Park) Gifted 31d - I don't know if this was a knockoff or a legit Howdy, but it was given to me when I was a tot, back in 1957. It was substantially used by the teenager who gave it to me. Any interest in fixing it up-and-doing something with it? I sure hate the thought of throwing it away, even though I never played with it.

Free: Styrofoam insulation (Lake Forest Park) Gifted 49d - 1.5" × 26" × 48" Shiny foil on the backside easily pulled off. As is the labeling film on the front side. It's getting recycled on Monday if it doesn't leave this weekend.

Free: Styrofoam blocks for crafting (Lake Forest Park) Expired 55d - Six 4 inch cube blocks, packaged, and never opened. Please tell me when you can pick them up because I don't want them blowing off the porch.

Free: Vinyl wall covering (Lake Forest Park) Expired 55d - 56 square feet, 20.5 inches by 11 yd. Light pastel flowers. Never opened and it says it's ready to hang. Please tell me when you can pick it up.

Free: CD or DVD holders (Lake Forest Park) 56d - I only spotted one crack, but it could be healed with a label if needed. The rest are dusty in some cases, but not too bad. Please let me know when you can pick them up.

Free: Wire Shelving (Lake Forest Park) Withdrawn 78d - Like new. The long shelf is 4 feet and the corner shelf extends 21 inches against walls. Take one or both, but let me know when you are coming.

Free: Retired Pillow (Lake Forest Park) Withdrawn 89d - Anyone want innards for stuffed animals or whatever? Please let me know when you can collect it. Free: Kettleball (Lake Forest Park) Gifted 90d - I expect it's still ten pounds. Let me know when you can pick it up.

Free: Wide pocket Curtain brackets (Lake Forest Park) Expired 90d - They are 4 inches high and will extend between 4 feet and 7 feet wide.They can stick out from the wall, between 4 inches and 6 inches. The previous owner made tubes of pretty fabric and fluffed it around them with nothing hanging down, but there are curtain types that can hang from them or inside of them. My mom made them into an art display above her window that was lots of fun, using fabric and other materials. I have four of them available to whomever wants them. Please let me know when you can pick them up.

Free: Bluetooth Trailer Brake Control (Lake Forest Park) Expired 110d - This dealie is designed to let you hit your brakes and engage the brakes of what you are dragging behind your vehicle. It did not work great on our 1987 travel trailer, but maybe you can make it work with more fussing around. There is a small crack in it, which you can probably see on the right hand side of the second photo. I don't think that has hurt anything inside the unit, but you may need to figure that out as well.

Free: 10 x 10 Dome Tent (Lake Forest Park) Expired 140d - I failed to take a picture of this when we had it almost fully set up but wind and pine cones were coming fast. It is not clean, but it has no holes in it and the poles are in good shape. There is obvious wear on the bottom tarp layer, but rolling it up was so hard there must not be any holes in that either. Please let me know when you can pick it up.

Free: Lightweight spackle (Lake Forest Park) Gifted 148d - Both of these quarts are nearly full, but red top has some hard stuff in it. Good for filling nail holes and other small stuff. But not for mudding new drywall. If you want it, let me know when you can pick it up.

Free: Working lift motors (Lake Forest Park) Gifted 169d - These were pulled out of a reclining couch that got too big for us. Anybody have any inventions that these would be useful to augment? Never any problem with the lift or the recline or the dropback down. The couch just got too big. If you want them please let me know when I can put them on the porch.

Free: Beta test cat toy (Lake Forest Park) Expired 178d - I turned this old box into a test of what the grandcats are interested in playing with. They had no interest with the disk on top, with or without carpet on it, but they did like the eyebolts inside with strings holding toys, that they could box. And they did a little scratching on the rotating column of rope right. They have their new toy now, so does anybody want to do some testing of their own on this silly thing?

Free: Outdated unopened canned milk (Lake Forest Park) Expired 223d - I lost track of my snow stores during the pandemic, don't even recognize these! But they say best by 2019. Obviously can't bring them to a food pantry but does anybody have a use for these? Or are they just compost? I found them in the back of a very cold cabinet.

Free: 2" x 31" x 76" Foam (Lake Forest Park) Expired 252d - Not pristine but no suggestion of dust or smell on it. It's been rolled up in a closet for at least a decade and the dark area was the part exposed to the rest of the closet. Please let me know when you can pick it up and I will bag it so our wet weather won't touch it, but you can of course sniff test it when it's in the bag.

Free: Unopened Antique White Paint (Lake Forest Park) Gifted 268d - My project changed so this gallon was never opened. Please let me know WHEN you will be picking it up.

Free: Men's Size 12 hip boots (Lake Forest Park) Gifted 268d - These developed a leak at the point where the rubber boot meets the rubbery fabric so not the best for walking through lakes, but possibly repairable with Shoo Goo if you have the time for that. The boots are still comfortable for sock wearing feet. Please let me know when you can pick them up.

Request: 2" x 10" x 18" Pressure Treated (Lake Forest Park) Expired 333d - We just need a short length of pressure treated wood in good condition for part of a repair to our deck support boards. Do you have a scrap you can pass on?

Free: Vibrating multi-tool (Lake Forest Park) Expired 333d - It's damaged, and we can't put blades on. It did work despite the missing plastic cover that should be on the metal lever. Possibly fixable but we were mid project and had to buy new. Please let me know when you can pick up.

Free: Plumbing Supplies (Lake Forest Park) Expired 1y - Anyone want to grab a bunch of plumbing supplies? Old, though some unused, and some newish unused. You might be able to trade in the leftovers for credit at Ballardreuse.com.

Free: Electric fireplace thing (Lake Forest Park) Gifted 1y - This little guy puts out a lot of heat and looks like real flames, but it's also got several cosmetic flaws. The guy who gave it to me said the ripple on the door was caused by putting it up against a baseboard heater and forgetting about it till things got funky. I'm not going to get around to fixing it up. Anybody else want to try that? Let me know when you can pick it up.

Free: Heavy duty bungee cord (Lake Forest Park) Gifted 1y - The middle one has never been used but is not quite as strong as the two on the sides which have some damaged areas, but a few feet that seem completely intact. I can't think of anything to use these for can you? If so let me know when you can pick them up.

Free: Any Woodworkers want a table "kit"? (Lake Forest Park) Expired 1y - These components, plus another piece of plywood you would need to acquire, could be turned into a proper leafed table if you also found come legs and pretty top wood (door skin!) to be added. Anyone up for a kinda big deal project? The slider came from the woodworking shop that pre-dated Rockler in Wallingford, so it needs a cleanup to slide neatly again. Let me know when you can pick it up because next Friday it will go to the Ballard Second Use free pile.

Free: Unused fishnet (Lake Forest Park) Gifted 1y - I bought this for a project but the plan changed and so it's been wandering around our garage ever since. If you can think of a need for it let me know when you can pick it up.

Free: Take out meal containers (Lake Forest Park) Expired 1y - At least a dozen containers, some of which have writing on the top but all of which seem to hold food just fine. If you want them let me know when you can collect them.

Free: Jabsco Y-Valve (Lake Forest Park) Expired 1y - Fully functional, not smelly, it got changed out when a larger holding tank was installed on a boat. If you don't know what this is you probably don't need it, but if you are converting your boat's head from a bucket to a holding tank this might be useful to you. Connecting pipes are still fully pivotable.. Let me know when you can pick it up.

Free: Vertical Shades (Lake Forest Park) Gifted 1y - We are retiring the funny vertical blind thing that's covered our sliding glass door since we bought the place 24 years ago. The blinds are 81 1/4 in long and 1/2 in wide. There are 18 sort of satin vanilla colored sections with no breaks in them and one white one. The rest have splits at the top or other breaks. The top mechanism is 100 in wide and still works, but it's not in any way telescoping. I vacuumed off everything but it's not clean. it does come a from smoke and critter free house. Want any bits and pieces or the whole thing? Please let me know when you will be collecting them because they will not be staying here long.
