Free: Plastic soprano recorder (Homestead and San Tomas) Brown plastic. Not a fine instrument, and it's one piece (no adjustment for tuning), but it does play.

Free: Stove-counter gap covers (Homestead and San Tomas) Gifted Pair of white, silicone, heat-resistant, T-shaped strips for covering the gap between the stove/range and the counter. White, 25 inches long, may be trimmed with scissors. Brand new. Our space is a little too uneven, and I don't feel like dealing with the return. Please include a pick-up time in your response.

20d

Free: Pole saw (Homestead and San Tomas) Gifted The "business end" all works decently well, but the pole adjustment is jammed and not holding a selected length. Please include a preferred pick-up time in your response.

Free: 2 blackout curtain off-cuts 22x50in (Homestead and San Tomas) Gifted I shortened some very long blackout curtains. These are the parts I cut off. Both pieces are about 22 inches x 50 inches. Both pieces are medium gray coarse weave fabric, lined with white blackout fabric. They are hemmed on three sides with one raw (cut) edge, so sewing may be required both to finish this edge and to create a casing or attach something else to hang them. Both fabrics are synthetic and washable. Maybe they're the right size for a small window in a bathroom, day-lit basement, or camper. Maybe you have some other crafty use in mind.

120d

Free: 2 curtain rods, hardware for one (Homestead and San Tomas) Gifted Brushed nickel rod is ⅝ inch diameter, adjusts from 26 inches to about 48 inches (4 feet). The new in package mounting hardware is for this one. Wood curtain rod is 56 inches usable length plus three inches decorative end piece (finial) at each end. Both curtain rods are in used but usable condition, with minor scuffs and discoloration.

Free: LED tube lights and ballast (Homestead and San Tomas) Gifted Two LED tubes (replacements for florescent tubes) and a compatible ballast fixture. All are four feet long. Please take all. The tubes don't say a color temperature, but I'd say they're on the warm side.

156d

Free: Clear tote bag (Homestead and San Tomas) Gifted Clear tote bag, about 12x12x6 inches. Several local stadium, arena, and amphitheater venues require a clear bag if you're bringing personal stuff in a bag through security.

156d

Free: Kitchen sink and faucet (Homestead and San Tomas) Gifted Sink: White enamel on cast iron. 33" wide, top mount double sink. About 35 years old with some minor dings and scuffs, but it still cleans up pretty well. There are many different whites. I would say this is a true white, not cream, biscuit, light gray, or whatever else. Faucet: Pull-out Price Pfister faucet, still attached to the sink, about 10 years old, working fine but showing some wear. You may want to soak the spray head in vinegar to remove the hard water deposits. Drains: the strainer on the left is still attached and comes with the sink. The garbage disposal on the right is not included. Scrape off some old sealant/gasket residue and supply your own drain or disposal on that side. Please take the whole set and regift the faucet and/or drain if not needed. The sink is large and heavy. It was removed from the counter shortly after the photo was taken. I may be able to help load during a coordinated evening or weekend pick-up time. If there's a lot of interest, I will prefer requests with clear communication for pick-up and planned use.

156d

Free: Working LED light bulbs (Homestead and San Tomas) Gifted 15 reflector bulbs, E26 base (the most common size). 13W, 750 lumens. Fairly warm light, maybe 2700K. 4 big outdoor floodlight bulbs, 2nd photo. Also E26 base. Everything's working fine. We've replaced the fixtures that used them. Preference to anyone who will take all or all of one kind and regift any excess.

223d

Free: Wall-mount mailbox (Homestead and San Tomas) Gifted Basic black metal wall-mount mailbox, 16" wide x 5" deep x 9" tall. (Pen for scale.) You'll need two ordinary screws for mounting. I washed off the dust and cobwebs. If you care about looks, you may wish to apply some fresh paint.

223d

Free: 14 inch glass ceiling light bowl (Homestead and San Tomas) Gifted Square glass bowl/shade for a ceiling light fixture. White coating for diffusing the light. The hole in the middle looks like it should clear up to a 3/8 inch diameter thead.
