Trash Pick of the Week

[rushpapers]

Picked from the trash, like so many things I've come to own. It is mint for the most part. Needs new hinges, which are replaceable for $10.

The wife was pissed at hubby's beer drinking habit and threw out his almost new "travelin' fridge"?

i thought collecting coolers only made you cool if they were refrigerators/freezers?

look nice though!

Anything free, that I'm able to sell for $100, is cool.

Over the past ten years, I'd estimate I've made $5,000 reselling things I've picked out of the trash.

The basis of my brew rig is most of a sheet of 3/4" plywood I picked from my neighbor's trash.
"I'm picking your trash, and I need my table saw back if you are finished with it. Cheers!"

Earlier this year that would have been like finding a brick of cash, or a couple boxes of ammo

FYI, I've used these on some of my coolers, and they work great. They're "upcycled" from retired fire hoses.

Yes... but, I'd feel guilty drilling through it.

Just close your eyes when you're doing it!

Let me do it. I can drill a hole like that with my eyes open.

I ain't very good with tools...

Save your $ 10.00. I have been using plastic cutting sheets under the old hinges. Dont use the new one or wife may take away your privileges.
