Free: Tiki Torch fuel - 1 Gallon (Emerald Hills, near cross.) Gifted 5d - I'm guessing this would work in other Kerosene lanterns, but can't say for certain.

Free: Power Paint Roller (Emerald Hills, near cross.) Gifted 7d - Sears Craftsman power "Continuous Flow" paint roller. Appears to be nearly new, with all the necessary parts for operation, but I haven't tested it.

Free: Microwave Oven (Emerald Hills, near cross.) Gifted 7d - Medium size Daewoo microwave, stainless exterior. Somewhat scratched top, but otherwise in very nice condition

Free: Ryobi 18v saw (Emerald Hills, near cross.) Gifted 58d - Offered to three people, none of whom ever responded again! - so, it's available. PLEASE do not request this item if you don't intend to come over and pick it up! Older 6 1/2" circular saw, uses the same batteries as the newer 18v Ryobi tools. Comes with a blade, but no batteries or charger. If you have any 18V Ryobi tools this will work fine with the same battery system. It's a bit smaller than the newer Ryobi saws, but also lighter, so it's quite handy to use.

Free: "Cricket" Ash (Fireplace) Vacuum (Emerald Hills, near cross.) Gifted 59d - Cricket ash vacuum for fireplaces - Brass & matt black to match fireplace accessories, retractable vacuum hose and electric cord. In perfect working condition.

Free: Deck Screws (Emerald Hills, near cross.) Gifted 66d - 7 lbs of 3 inch #8 Philips Bugle head Dacrotized deck screws (approx 600 screws) Have been sitting on a shelf for years, so aren't bright and shiny, but they should still retain the majority of the Aluminum/Zinc coating which makes these such good deck screws.

Free: Makita battery drills (Emerald Hills, near cross.) Gifted 66d - Model 6093 and 6095 Makita 9.6V drills. These were, for years, the premier battery drill on the market. I used the 6093 to build a house - the other (6095) is unused. Two batteries - which might work (these things last forever) - but new NiMH versions of the 9.6V batteries are still available. Cases for both drills, and one fast charger. Also (somewhere) I have a matching small circular saw, generally used for cutting sheetrock in place.

Free: Irrigation control valve box (Emerald Hills, near cross.) Gifted 66d - New, but dirty from sitting in the workshop for about 35 years.

Free: Various silver plate items (Emerald Hills, near cross.) Gifted 68d - Various silver plate items - serving trays, urn, chafing dish, tea service, a candle snuffer, etc. Some need only polish, others would need to be replated to be restored to original condition. All are either brass or copper and could be recycled as such, though some are nicer pieces. All are probably late 1800's or early 1900's. The tea service has bakelite handles.

Free: 99 pieces - 47 Ohm Resistors (Emerald Hills, near cross.) Gifted 117d - In order to buy one resistor (to fix a speaker set) I had to buy 100 on Amazon. On the off chance that some hobbyist would like 99 47 Ohm 1/2 watt resistors, I'm offering them up. Request: Piece of 1/2" Sheetrock (Emerald Hills, near cross.) Expired 181d - I'm doing a small plumbing repair and need to replace a cutout section of sheetrock. I'll need a piece about 16" x 10", 1/2" thick. It needn't be new but should be free of breaks or cracks. Thanks Free: Electrical Meters (Emerald Hills, near cross.) Expired 254d - Various analog electric meters (AC & DC volts and amps). Re-doing our boat's' electrical panel, these are no longer needed. Might be useful for an electronics hobbyist, or as props for your next homemade retro sci-fi movie.

Free: Pinking Shears (Emerald Hills, near cross.) Gifted 1y - 2 pair of Wiss Pinking shears - one 9 1/4" Chrome, from 1950, still quite sharp and very nice action. The other is 7 1/2" Model CB7, could use sharpening.

Free: Rolling Cart (Emerald Hills, near cross.) Gifted 1y - Kitchen cart, wood-grain laminate shelves with metal uprights and fairly beefy wheels. Some discolored spots on top shelf where the feet of my Espresso machine sat - may be removable, maybe not. top is 20" X 27"

Request: Heating pad or terrarium heater (Emerald Hills, near cross.) Expired 1y - Hi - I'm putting together a bread-proofing cabinet, and I need some kind of heater. A heating pad of some sort (terrarium heater or therapeutic heating pad) should do the trick. I'll be adding a thermostat. I could also use a medium sized Styrofoam cooler box. Free: Incandescent light bulbs (Emerald Hills, near cross.) Gifted 1y - Various new incandescent light bulbs: 10 40 watt globe bulbs, 2 60 watt globes, 4 57 watt standard ("A series") bulbs. All have standard (E26) screw-in bases.

Free: Oak flooring for Firewood (Emerald Hills, near cross.) Gifted 1y - Solid red oak flooring boards, left over from a flooring job. I've posted previously, and given away some, but I still have more. Not quite "Yule logs", but they should burn nicely, or serve for hobby woodworking projects. All are 3/4" X 3 1/4" X Random lengths.

Free: Watercolor painting kit (Emerald Hills, near cross.) Gifted 1y - New, unopened 23 piece Watercolor painting kit, includes paper with faint image, paints, and brush. Nobody at our house can figure out where it came from - it seems to have appeared out of thin air.

Free: Electronic Dartboard (Emerald Hills, near cross.) Expired 1y - Works fine - but I don't have any darts for it. Relisted - previously promised but never picked up.

Free: Electronic Dartboard (Emerald Hills, near cross.) Gifted 1y - Works fine - but I don't have any darts for it.

Free: Epson glossy printer paper rolls (Emerald Hills, near cross.) Gifted 1y - 11 rolls of Epson glossy printer paper, each 4" wide x 26' long, plus 1 roll 8.3" wide x 32.8' long. If you have a roll feeder (or like using a paper cutter) this is a LOT of photo paper for smaller prints.

Request: Laptop (Emerald Hills, near cross.) Received 1y - I use a laptop to control my coffee roaster - but the old one is near death. Because it's always plugged in it can have an old, weak battery. Needs windows 7 or 10, but I can install it if the laptop has a valid license sticker. Free: Bag-o-hangers (Emerald Hills, near cross.) Expired 1y - I believe these reproduce surreptitiously in the closet when the lights are out. A variety of hangers, some rather nice, some just cheap dry-cleaners' wire things.

Free: Lots of Photo frames (Emerald Hills, near cross.) Expired 1y - Mostly clear plastic table-top stands, plus a few frames

Free: small wood file cabinet (Emerald Hills, near cross.) Gifted 1y - Fairly cheaply made - probably from an "Unfinished furniture" store - but exterior and drawer fronts are solid wood (Doug fir?). Never finished, but might look nice if sanded and stained or varnished. Brass drawer pulls.
