Charlie, Your neighbors probably thought you were looting :^D

Looks like it could be useful for a lot of things. Way to go!

That’s a great find! A little extra storage is always welcome – room for more toys!

Still think about your story about pulling and straightening the nails from the firewood, Thos.

I wondered where my wife put my favorite cabinet. Good find Charlie. Might be a good place to store your drill bits, hand planes, box hinges, etc. Anxious to see what it turns out to be.

Could be that the people cleared a room of furniture to paint and you thought it was trash..hehe. Great find!

that’s funny, Miles… reminds me of a story my friend, a city worker told: people were moving on the same day as the yearly junk collection day—everything sitting at and near the curb went, including their large cabinet tv and sofas.

There’s a WalMart ad running nowadays around here… Dad is helping his son move out of the house, carries a box of the kid’s CDs to the car, but forgot the keys, so he puts the box down on the sidewalk behind the car.

While he is inside getting the keys, a garbage truck pulls up, takes the trash, including the boxes of CDs.

Parting shot of the dad pushing a cart 1/2 full of CDs down the WalMart aisle, with the son picking CDs from the racks…

Moral of the story? Being a trash collector has its benefits ;)

Miles, it’s funny but a very clear ettiquette developed around these parts after Hurricane Katrina. If you put something out on the house side of the front sidewalk, it means you are just storing it there temporarily while you’re doing some work. But anything you put on the street side of the sidewalk is fair game for scavengers. :-)

That’s a nice little cabinet. Strange we live in a world where we’d just throw it away.

another moral of the story ?? ....... always jog on trash day !
