Free: 10 x 10 Dome Tent (Lake Forest Park) Withdrawn 3d - I failed to take a picture of this when we had it almost fully set up but wind and pine cones were coming fast.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 12d - 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 33d - 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Free: Beta test cat toy (Lake Forest Park) Withdrawn 41d - I turned this old box into a test of what the grandcats are interested in playing with.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Free: Outdated unopened canned milk (Lake Forest Park) Withdrawn 86d - I lost track of my snow stores during the pandemic, don't even recognize these!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 115d - 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 131d - 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 132d - 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 197d - 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 197d - 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 248d - 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 312d - 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 317d - 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 333d - 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.

Free: Firewood Splitting Maul (Lake Forest Park) Gifted 1y - This doesn't appear to be old but it looks kind of beat on. Someone who knows what they're doing can probably fix it up or replace the handle. It obviously was left outside for a while. Let me know when you can pick it up.

Free: GoPlus Folding Treadmill (Lake Forest Park) Gifted 1y - I bought this via Craigslist last year to see if I would really use a treadmill if I had one. I would. But this one did not have a manual with it and I could not find one online. It has lots of workouts built into it but I can't seem to find a good one for me. I just want to walk walk walk. Its folded dimensions are 14" x 21" x 51". Please let me know when you can pick it up.

Free: Unused carpet (Lake Forest Park) Gifted 1y - One fairly large and two small pieces of carpet were left over when we had our house recarpeted a few years back. It was left here and it's time to pass it on. Sizes are: 67 in x 121 in 41 in x 64 in 27 in x 35 in It's never been walked on except by me in stocking feet just now while I vacuumed out the little scraps of thread left by cutting. None of the edges are bound. I could deliver it if you came by and looked at it to confirm you actually want it.

Free: MaxiClimber workout machine (Lake Forest Park) Gifted 1y - I think this is pretty much in like new condition though I received it secondhand. Major calorie burning device! We just aren't using it enough. It folds in a few different ways so it doesn't take up much space and it's light enough for me to drag it around. Let me know when you can pick it up and I'll send you the address.

Free: Teak oil (Lake Forest Park) Gifted 1y - It's a quart bottle so you can see how much there is left. If you want it just let me know when you can pick it up.

Free: Sewing patterns (Lake Forest Park) Gifted 1y - These collected at my house over the decades and I don't recognize most of them so I can't say for sure that every piece of the patterns is present or accounted for. But if you would like to have a go at them let me know when you can pick them up.

Free: Very Special Paint (Lake Forest Park) Gifted 1y - This is spendy stuff, used for boat decks and other outdoor projects but if you don't know what it is you probably shouldn't use it. It's extremely durable but unforgiving in application. I thought I would check in here before I take it to the Hazmat disposal. The cans are unopened but are at least 5 years old. I don't think there's a shelf life on them when they have not been opened, though. If you want them let me know when you will pick them up.

Request: Working Treadmill (Lake Forest Park) Expired 1y - It needs to be foldable, but otherwise pretty simple. Thanks for reading this. Free: Hand seeder/fertilizer spreader (Lake Forest Park) Expired 1y - It's in good shape and useful for small lawns. Please let me know when you can pick it up.
