Fire Hoses, old and worn (Newport News, Bruton Ave)
I just won 4 pallets of old fire hoses that have failed tests. I only want 120 feet, to build a sump pump for my garage. Hopefully churches, schools, neighborhood clubs, or beach homes will take what's left for markers for volleyball, start/finish lines, crafts, ropes, or whatever. In two weeks I'll haul them from the warehouse, and will take what's not wanted to the dump. Let me know if your group or family can use some, and what length. Most are white, but 7 rolls are shades of green. I live on Bruton Ave in Newport News, near I-64 and J Clyde Morris.

Aquarium with lid & light (Newport News, Bruton Ave)
Gifted
36 wide, 21 tall, 16 front to back. I estimate the size at 48 gallons. Notice the front is curved outward. Just filled the bottom six inches and there's no leaks. It was last used for hermit craps. Light probably works, but I'm too lazy to drag an extension cord to it. No filter or bubbler or anything else. Free to good home. Prefer someone nearby that's made several offers. Located on Bruton Ave in Newport News, a bit east of Harpersville.

Runs fine. 15 amps. might trip breakers on occasion. The previous owner broke the aluminum table with a bag of cement or something. It could be re-attached with angle iron, but then it wouldn't be as portable. Still has cross cut square and fence, but no safety accessories.

Tool Stand, old steel furnace (Newport News, Bruton Ave)
Expired
Got this with an old 3-wheeled band saw mounted on top. As I recall the top of the tool stand is like 36 or 37 inches from the floor. I decided to store the band saw on a shelf or under a work bench, to gain usable floor space in the garage. Looks like an old oil furnace. Has three steel wheels, but they're very rusted. 2 cast iron "feet". Haven't tried, but I THINK one side can be removed by taking off the two screws at the bottom. Sheet metal might be cut to provide storage underneath. Hate to scrap it if someone can use it. I live on Bruton Ave in Newport News, a ways east of Harpersville.

Electric Pet Door (Newport News, Bruton Ave)
Gifted
First picture shows a new one online. Size is large or extra large, can't recall. We had a 100 pound German Shepard mix at the time. We brought ours to the new house in 2018, but never installed it. Untested. Runs on batteries. Have a couple "transmitters" included, which you attach to your dog's collar. When within range, the doggie door unlocks, and your dog can pass thru. Unless your cat is smart and fast, it can't go outside. I found replacing the batteries was hard to remember to do. If you'd hook it up to a battery charger with batteries, I THINK it would work fine. Again, it's untested, and has sat for several years on our back porch. I'm on Bruton Ave in Newport News, east of Harpersville Rd.
