Request: Carpet gripper strips (Fort Pitt ME1) 23d - Hello, Does anybody in Rochester or close by have one or two lengths of carpet gripper strip (the wooden strips with little spikes that go round the edges of the room) that they would be willing to give me? Many thanks Chris Uhlar Free: Fish griller for barbecue (Fort Pitt ME1) Gifted 40d - New and unused. Auntie Nellie gave me this handy gadget but I never barbecue any fish ( more of a veggie skewer sort of person)! So I am running out of space for handy gadgets and this one has to go. It has a wooden handle, the metal work looks like chromed steel and it would suit three trout or smaller mackeral. It is designed to hold the fish firmly and allow them to be turned over when required. Can you give this lonely gadget a loving home? Regards Chris

Free: Two metal, half round wall hanging baskets (Fort Pitt ME1) Gifted 47d - Black metal, half round, wall hanging baskets / planters. The liners are a bit tired, might do another year but are easy to buy. I think these baskets are only a couple of years old but we do not really use them so free to anyone who would like them. Regards Chris

Free: Late Victorian Piano for reuse or wood? (Fort Pitt ME1) Expired 1y - Good Day Fellow Freeglers! We need to say goodbye to this piano. I have been told there is demand for such instruments to convert to bars, bookshelves or cupboards and/or there may be some nice wood for a crafty person to use in their projects (not sure how much is solid and how much is veneer). This upright piano was made by Archibald Ramsden probably in the late 1890's. It has a wooden rather than an iron frame and is a common English design. Two of the hammers have broken and the tuner swapped them so the bottom two notes do not play. As long as I can remember the piano has been tuned half a tone low on account of its wooden frame. As the tuner said, "It is a good age but unfortunately this kind of piano does not age well". So it probably has had its day as a musical instrument but we would love to find someone who can repurpose it or reuse the wood from it. You would need to collect it and we have some steps to go up from the house you should be aware of. Regards Chris
