Set 4 plastic garden chairs (Petworth/ Park View)
Gifted
Green, slightly faded. Kind of old and the plastic has acquired a grainy kind of patina. Or maybe the surface texture was there from the beginning.

2 metal planters / raised beds (Petworth/ Park View)
Gifted
Possibly stainless steel They feel pretty sturdy 4 feet long, 2 feet wide These are just sides, no bottoms at all You are welcome to take the soil, but you’ll need to bring containers and a shovel. The soil is mostly potting soil but has been outdoors for a couple of years and has weed seeds in it.

Small wood & metal desk (Petworth/ Park View)
Withdrawn
Neighbors are moving and have left this out for over a week. It’s got an industrial vibe to it- the legs look like plumbing. Also you can screw it down to the floor. Not sure why you would do that unless because it’s pretty lightweight. It’s outside 518 Quincy St. NW

Shelves/drawers for 1998 Frigidaire (Petworth/ Park View)
Withdrawn
Nobody wanted this fridge so we scheduled bulk pickup to take it. HOWEVER if you already have a similar fridge, you could take the drawers and/or shelves for replacements or backups Or if you want a big piece of glass from the bottom shelf for some other purpose

dozen boxwood bushes (Petworth/ Park View)
Gifted
The city is going to destroy them on Monday to widen the sidewalk. Please come this weekend prepared to dig them up yourself. The ones in the picture are slow-growing, a bit scrawny, but tough survivors. They might look better if they got more light and less dog pee. There are also a few more that are faster growing, bushier and have slightly bigger lusher leaves. They are also tough survivors. 516 Quincy St. NW.

Frigidaire brand. Beige/cream colored. Might need a new gasket because it regularly grows mold on it.

Free:
Two 1 gram jars of saffron (Petworth/ Park View)
Gifted
One jar is sealed with plastic shrink wrapped over the cork. The other jar has been opened and the cork was crumbling so I covered it with the foil and rubber band as seen. However it looks like it has the same amount as the sealed jar. These both say “BBE 2007”, presumably that means “best before.”

Partial Lego Mindstorms EV3 set (Petworth/ Park View)
Gifted
Unfortunately the booklet is missing, as are the main parts that make up the robots. However if you already have some of this line of Lego, these might extend your building capacity. If you take this partial set, I will keep your contact information in case the booklet or missing pieces ever turn up in my house. I feel 80% sure that they never left the building.

Could be useful and/or artistic. I cut this off a tree a few years ago and have finally realized that I don’t have a use for it. It’s very strong and rot-resistant.

2 giant oak tree trunk sections (Bethesda)

Montgomery County is taking weeks to pick these up. If you have the equipment to haul them, they might give them away to you. Apparently each piece weighs more than a ton.

Half a costume for Hatsune Miku (Petworth/ Park View)
Gifted
Hatsune Miku is the main character in a mobile video game called Hatsune Miku: Colorful Stage. The character wears various outfits which all feature similar styling but different color schemes. This is the top half of the sakura (cherry blossom) outfit. This is a costume for child size 12, approximately. Specifically the shirt is 16.5” across at the armpits and 13.5” at the waist. Collar is 16” circumference. For the detached sleeves, the elastic which goes around the upper arms is about 8” circumference unstretched, can stretch to about 11” circumference. Unfortunately my daughter got rid of the skirt separately.

2 pairs women’s tights size S-M (Petworth/ Park View)
Gifted
First pair is navy blue cotton-spandex in good used condition. These are very durable and soft. The feet are shaped to fit well. Low static. No holes or mends. Second pair is beige or “nude/flesh” color (obviously not the color of everyone’s skin tone) with extensive rhinestones stuck on the exterior. Has a few very small holes on the toes, as shown in photo. You can just dab clear nail polish on these to prevent them enlarging. Both are clean and from a non-smoking household. Both have a small amount of fuzz and cat hair on them.

Gifted
Originally black, now faded 10 sections which can snap together 24” wide x 12” high with 3.5” spikes to stick into the ground 2 end pieces which snap onto the large pieces Also some broken pieces: it looks like 2 of them could be cut up to get 2 more end pieces. You should know that these are pretty flimsy, so don’t use them anywhere that they are likely to get kicked or get stuff dropped on them.

Stand for rain barrel (Petworth/ Park View)
Gifted
Tan/beige plastic 12” high x 24” wide x 19” deep This stand lifts up a small rain barrel so that you have room below the outlet faucet for a container or to ensure good flow through a hose. The concave curved side is where you situate the outlet. Holes are for drainage in case water gets under the rain barrel.
