Request: Hoover SteamVac (Dunbar) My trusty Hoover SteamVac (F5906-950) has just failed, probably the motor. I hope to give it a new lease on life and keep it out of landfill. Although little used, since this is over a decade old, parts are almost entirely discontinued. I am planning to tear it down to investigate. So, if you have a similar model that you have retired, maybe I can get it back into service. Also, years ago, I loaned it to a neighbour who was moving out of an adjacent suite. Unfortunately, their movers movers packed all of the upholstery attachments. I never heard from them after the move – so compatible upholstery attachments would come in handy if I can resurrect the SteamVac.

Request: door letter flap (Dunbar) I live in a ground floor suite, but mail is delivered upstairs. My mail is left in the laundry room, so I may not find it until several days later. So, I am looking for a basic door letter flap so that they can "post" my mail through my door. Can anyone help?

Request: Bricks or clay tiles (Port Coquitlam, BC) Expired I am doing a summer clean-out of a greenhouse. It has an unfinished floor (soil) and so I am thinking that laying down old bricks or stronger tiles on the soil floor would be an improvement. Do you have a pile of bricks or tiles that you are discarding?

Request: Document scanner with sheet feeder (Dunbar) Expired I am looking for a document scanner with sheet feeder that can handle: letter, legal, A4, receipts (including long till receipts). If it can simultaneously scan both sides of a document, great ~ but single sided scanning is the primary need.
