Request:
A bit of 14 gauge wire (Dupont Circle)
Does anyone have short lengths - like 5 or 10 feet - of 14 gauge solid wire - the kind of wire that goes in switch boxes and light fixture boxes? I need a few small lengths to connect something. The local hardware store sells cut by the foot 12 gauge but not 14. Ideally I'd love some black colored and some white colored, but I can be flexible.

Quart of blue paint (Dupont Circle)
Expired
I accidentally had the hardware store mix this quart and don't need it. It's Benjamin Moore's color "New York State of Mind" which is a deep (and beautiful) blue that's navy-like, maybe a little lighter and warmer. It's BM's Aura (top of the line paint) in flat finish. This photo is from Benjamin Moore's site showing the color.

Blank DVD-Rs (Dupont Circle)
Withdrawn
24 blank recordable DVDs of various brands. As I understand it the utility of these from a data storage standpoint is pretty limited nowadays since something like a thumb drive is way bigger and faster, but it’s possible, and often people find use for them in crafts projects because they are shiny. The back (shiny) sides are all purple.

Fisher-Price booster chairs (Dupont Circle)

This is an adjustable booster seat for babies and toddlers to eat. It has a tray that can snap on in one of 3 distances from the chair, or it can be left off when the kid is ready to be at the table. The bottom also can be adjusted in 3 positions for height. There are straps to buckle the kid in. I have 2 of them and you can request both or just one.

Cheese grater (Dupont Circle)
Gifted
This is a Zyliss crank cheese grater. You put a piece of cheese in and squeeze the handle to hold it against the grating drum as you turn the handle. Works great for making Parmesan shreds for pasta and other stuff like that.

Bonavita coffee maker, damaged? (Dupont Circle)
Expired
This is a Bonavita Connoisseur 8 cup coffee maker, about 5 years old. We didn’t descale it regularly and it stopped fully brewing the coffee before shutting off. Recently we got descaling powder and descaled it, but now a white residue comes out when we run water through it. Maybe that’s just build-up that will eventually wash out with more cycles and/or more descaling, not sure. If you can troubleshoot, then hopefully this can be useful to you.

Time Timer (Dupont Circle)
Gifted
This is a device parents can use for times like when you say “you can play for 10 more minutes and then it’s bath time.” This lets you just rotate the red piece to 10 minutes and the kids can see exactly how much time is left and I think it buzzes when it runs out.
