88-110” bronze curtain rod (Brightwood Park/Petworth DC)
Gifted
156d

Curtain rod supports are included, total of 3 because at full length it requires a center support. Color is bronze. My new curtains need different hanging hardware, but this rod is still quite usable, and I'm hoping someone else will enjoy it. Any request that does not include a pickup time will be disregarded.

Upright vacuum cleaner (Brightwood Park/Petworth DC)
Expired
214d
- Left behind by a commercial cleaning crew in my house after construction. I didn’t hire the crew and don’t know how to give it back, so am offering it because it’s really very heavy-duty, and I guess I’m too much of a weakling to move it around. It turns on and off, but I don’t know how well it works. Has a cord. Please tell me what day and about what time you’d like to pick it up! I will ignore your email if you do not.
