Free Sink!

May 13th, 2011 at 04:27 am

The last two days have been full of home repairs, some more major than others. We exchanged out two toilet seats and a flapper (an internal toilet part). We replaced an outdoor light fixture, put mulch around all of our outside beds, replaced wood hand rails on our deck, as well as a few other rotted boards. We still need to stain or clean the deck in some way.

The biggest change was our kitchen sink. We went for a mid grade stainless steel sink and faucet. This cost us about $275. The old one was almond colored and no longer matched the white cabinets the previous owner created. Knowing we will sell in a year, we needed to get it out of there.

I noticed this morning that a neighbor was having a garage sale, so I put that old sink on the curb with a free sign. It was gone within 30 minutes! DH could not believe I would put out such a beat up sink. Ummm...it was still functional. Probably in better shape than many people have. I'm sure I could have made $10 to $20 on it. I really just wanted it gone fast. And it was gone fast!

Hae you ever set things out on the curb for free? Tell me about it.

    Yes, and they always go! Even cut up tree trunks disappear sometimes. I also (don't tell my daughter) picked her toddler bed up from the curb.

    We have a bulk garbage pick up every month and people just drive around taking what they need. The first thing picked up is always bbq's. They take them for the scrap metal. I've picked up bikes for my kids, and have left out skis, strollers, wood, books, everything! I try to sell what I can and then pick one month to freecycle everything that's left - and I leave it on the curb.
