100+ YO Redwood lap siding (Alameda West End)
This came off 2 gable end-walls (about 18' at base). I think this would be excellent project wood or maybe a great "barnwood" type of look. I don't know if there is enough to side anthing very large. I think it is original to house (c. 1912). You can still see saw marks in the wood. I retained the old siding on the very front/back of my house because it is just so cool. It is painted with heaps of peeling old white paint and some caulking. Some green paint underneath, I think. Some nails remain too, I suspect, but not horrifically so. For the right person with the right skills and resources (a planer maybe?) and right project, this could be an absolute gold mine...all for free! MUST TAKE ALL. Advise that person picking this up have a pickup or large van, or a roof rack with skills to tie it up properly. Some of these pieces are pretty long (set. 12+ feet) while others are very short (as I said, this formed a gable wall).

Portable stand (perfect for laptop) (Near Highland Hospital)
I used this as a portable, minimalist standing desk for awhile and it worked great! The metal tray screws into a single point at the top of the tripod and is stable enough to be able to type just fine, though you can't lean on it. Max height is 55" and the tripod includes a level if you need one. Packs down well too. Could be perfect for a DJ? Or a presenter who wants their notes nearby?
