Piece of 1/2" Sheetrock (Emerald Hills, near cross.)
Expired
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

Washer and drier (Portola Valley)
Gifted
Speed Queen "Commercial Heavy Duty" Washer and electric drier. These were left by a recent tenant who couldn't move them, but says they're very good commercial machines which run well (they were in use until a few weeks ago). Currently located in Portola Valley, and you'll need to bring a truck and be able to move the machines yourself.

Computer Monitor, Keyboard (Emerald Hills, near cross.)
Received
I'm setting up a little project using a "Raspberry Pi" micro computer, and it would be easier with a dedicated monitor and keyboard. The monitor will need to have an HDMI port. If you've got either one hiding somewhere I'd love to take it off your hands.

Ryobi 18v saw (Emerald Hills, near cross.)
Gifted
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.

Deck Screws (Emerald Hills, near cross.)
Gifted
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.

Makita battery drills (Emerald Hills, near cross.)
Gifted
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.

Various silver plate items (Emerald Hills, near cross.)
Gifted
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.

Heating pad or terrarium heater (Emerald Hills, near cross.)
Expired
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.
