Request: space heater / air-purifier (Wateridge Village) - any type, size, style Request: leaf blower / outdoor duster unit (Wateridge Village) - Any type or make, preferably rechargeable or gasoline powered but anything would be useful. 🙏🙋🏻‍♂️ Request: powered grass-trimmers (Wateridge Village) - Good-Day TN Ottawa Community! I am on-the-hunt for - any - type, age, size or style of the power-tool commonly known as: ‘Weed Wacker’, ‘Grass-Trimmer’, ‘Line-Trimmer’, ‘String-Trimmer’ and any other names that make even less sense. I want parts, specifically the tube and opposing handle ( shaped similar to a shovel handle-grip ). If you have any sort of these tools they are soon destined for recycling i would be grateful for it and i will see that what i don’t use will be donated to anyone who repairs them or recycles them for charity. I already have someone lines-up to take any metal i don’t need so it’s no biggie. I can collect typically collect ( reasonably clean remnants or entire tools ) from anywhere within Greater Ottawa. Not covered in lube, sticky grass or other ick would be appreciated because these items will most likely be collected with a sedan. Thank-You for your consideration. The Upcycle is like the Recycle, it just has more wheels: * recycle * up-cycle * re-purpose and * innovation 🙋🏻‍♂️🛠 🙏 *

Request: portable / mini drill-press (Wateridge Village) - * any type, brand, size… I have an idea for a little novelty money-maker and i am starting the idea on a ‘zero’ budget. If my idea works i will be helping impoverished ex-Canadian military folks learn new ( or remember old ) skills, have fun and be creative. I’m just throwing it out there.

Request: denim up-cycle: video-1 (Wateridge Village) Free: upcycle video - denim 1 (Wateridge Village) Withdrawn - And there is over a dozen more practical uses for undamaged portions of worn-out denim garments. 👖👍🏻🙏 Free: small empty paper cartons (Wateridge Village) - Empty paper package carton from small bottles of aromatherapy oil. With some clever fandangery and snippety-snips, the ends sealed with glue or sticky-tape, and painted or decaled, these little boxes could be used for crafts, gift boxes, toys, what-the-eavah. After i empty the boxes they go into the recycling waste so if any crafty and clever box / paper-wizards want them i will start saving them. I currently have 5 in perfect condition for collection. Several uses i’ve had in the past: * travel crayons ( you never know ) * mints / candy ( you always know ) * change ( always good ) * very small tools ( very small breaks ) * tooth-picks ( absolutely ) * baking soda ( ask for details of use ) * cat treats ( when a nasty feline beast wants blood when you are tying to enter or exit your vehicle ) * passing secret messages to the others in my group ( The Dominion Nationalist Front ) - we are working to dissolve The PMO and The Governor General 🤫😉😁 FYI: the product is of excellent quality for anyone here who appreciates essential oils. The peppermint one has the strongest affect however the citrus ones are great too. I don’t endorse ‘Nature’s Truth’ products ( yet ) however i thought to offer my assessment. 📦☑️🙏🙋🏻‍♂️

Request: plastic / metal tubing (Wateridge Village) - i am experimenting with constructing a warm-air conduit in a vehicle interior…i am hunting for any of the following types of material: * any vacuum cleaners i can salvage parts from ( with or without hose components ) * any length of any type / size vacuum-cleaner hose ( with or without fittings and attachments ) * any length of plastic pool / outdoor spa-tub hose ( any diameter ) * any metal / plastic vacuum-cleaner wand-extensions * any plastic tube legs from plastic utility shelving * any length / angle pieces or length of climate-control conduit from any salvaged auto * any size hose-clamps * and anything else you can imagine i might be able to use for this project I am tired of having cars that don’t have heated luggage compartments and if i can demonstrate this project is feasible for any domestic passenger sedans, hatchbacks, coupes, et cetera, then i will share my plans, detailed instructions and images of the final concept in action by video demonstration. Thanks. 🛠🪚 Free: horizontal type dresser (Wateridge Village) Withdrawn - wooden, two-tone brown and white, 9 drawers * imperfect: cosmetic damage to the top surface and a few of the drawers in such a manner it doesn’t show ( the drawers )…i wanted to repair the unit however i don’t have a space to work on it and i need a vertical type so i’m offering it as it is to anyone who is as handy as i am. It’s too good to dispose of in my opinion. It’s approximately 60cm tall, 50cm thick, 1.5m long, and it has four permanent legs, a little scuffed-up. The drawer pulls are a beautiful Romanian-Gothic pattern of soft metal ( rounds and matching elaborate ornamental pulls ) - i would turn the whole unit into something useful without the drawers and save the pulls to trade for something else - they are that lovely. I only have a little granny sedan so i cannot deliver without sequestration. 🙋🏻‍♂️🙏 SF-7 Request: auto parts / accessories (Wateridge Village) - anything compatible with a 2009 ( or around there ) compact sedans, hatchbacks - mechanical, body, interior, utility - anything Note: images are three examples of similar vehicles to mine, an exact match of the year, body type and / or style is unimportant…i am looking for various pieces and components that i can make work even if they are not a perfect fit. 🙏🛠

Request: air compressor / air-pump (Wateridge Village) Withdrawn - I am interested in any sort of inflation tool. I need different types for a variety of applications. Thanks. 🙋🏻‍♂️🙏 Request: battery chargers - anything (Wateridge Village) - I am hunting for different types of battery chargers. Anything you have to donate is on the table for consideration. As well as my personal needs i am interested in starting a social event where technically knowledgeable individuals would convene with folks who want small electrical devices repaired, and either the devices or monetary values of other kinds would be donated to a cause the group’s values align with. More details to follow and how it would connect this online community with disabled and impoverished ex-Canadian military, Military Veterans associations, and other groups with common values. For myself i am looking immediately for ‘D’ rechargeable batteries and a charger for them, a charger suitable for automotive / marine applications and any charging devices with the capability to charge multiple types of non-digital / usb port type devices. Questions about my greater fundraising idea are welcome. 🙋🏻‍♂️🙏 Request: bunk beds (Wateridge Village) Withdrawn - Greetings TN Community. I mean to modify the sleeping arrangement within my small bachelor apartment so there will be a bed for an overnight guest / couple. I am handy enough to assemble anything that was designed to create such an arrangement and i am experienced and skilled enough to modify anything with basic carpentry tools. If you have anything you want to donate ( my income is meagre) that would serve to better this endeavour i welcome suggestions for what you have to offer. An entire assembly, partial assembly, a few pieces, other materials and tools - all are welcome. Extra materials and tools i won’t need further after my project is complete will be available for someone else again on the free market. In addition to a bunk-style sleeping arrangement i mean to craft and install shelves as well. Thank-You for your consideration.

Free: Prescott / Torbolton (Wateridge Village) Expired - Two books. Titles and descriptions are as follows: 1.) Torbolton Township: Its Earliest History ( authored by Doris Grierson Hope, published by The Historical Society of Torbolton Township, 2000 )...Ms. Hope was asked to write this book for the history of Torbolton from Admiralty records of her grandfather's naval career and his possession of a significant portion of the land that became the township initially - paperback, 178 pages ***offered to The Historical Society of Torbolton Township however no one replied 2.) Morrises' History of Prescott 1800-2000 ( authored by John A.H. Morris, published by The St. Laurence Printing Company, 2001 )...Mr. Morris was the unofficial literary historian for The Town of Prescott, Ontario for over 50 years - hardcover, 527 pages ( Note: this is a fine example of a dedicated research work and a benchmark for anyone who aspires to preserve the Canadianna of their own predecessors' community history ). These books of Canadian Community History will not be handed to just anyone. Lots of love went into creating them and only someone who appreciates that will have them next. If you know anyone with a passion for Canadianna, history for either of these three communities or simply Nova Scotia or Ontario urban development history i welcome your bridge between us. Thank-You.
