Curbside Treasures

R hit it big in the 'Curbside Treasure' department this week.

He found yet another cast iron umbrella stand.  This is the 4th cast iron base that he has found.  They all just need a fresh coat of satin black paint.  Less than 5 bucks will make this look like new.

He also found a large piece of Plexiglas.  We seem to use a lot of Plexiglas around The Gear.  The last time we needed Plexiglas was this summer when we made the shelves for the plant stand.  We have also used Plexiglas as shims when we raised up the floor in the corner of the dining room using a bottle jack.  So far all is well and the floor is still right where we raised it.  

I don't care for snow but he found a K2 snowboard, Vans boots size 13, and bindings.  We will sell those.

And finally the best find so far this summer.....a popcorn cart.  It appears that it was only used once or twice and rather than clean it, they put it out to the street.  R said he drove by it 3 times and finally thought what the heck.  It was covered in a black plastic trash bag and was laying on it's side so he only saw the red metal legs and could not see what it was but he knew it was metal.

Perfect for movie night and parties.  We will keep this. It is about 4 feet tall and will look great in the game room. It needs a good cleaning because it is covered in popcorn oil.  R put it in the barn until we have a sunny day to take it apart and scrub it clean. 

I've been craving popcorn all evening.

Have you scored anything good this summer?
