As I mentioned in a post a few days ago I really shouldn't judge people and my husband really was trash picking last weekend, which he does quite often. He really does find some great stuff though. Although the Army usually gives him a different type of mission, I gave him the mission of finding a new shipping table. Well, he finally found one that they were throwing out at the store on base because they are remodeling. It actually used to be a Coach purse display and he just took the top off and fixed it so that I have a nice flat work surface.
Cost of Display = Free
Cost of supplies to fix the top = $1.87
The looks on everyone's faces when he drug it out of the trash in uniform = Priceless

Fabulous find!! I found a dresser on my walk two weeks ago. Free is my favorite price!
I have to tell you after telling you how jealous I was about your find I got a bike for my little girl out of the trash this morning! Well my husband got it out of the trash.
Yay for inspiring me to trash dig!
Great find! I would love to have been the one driving down the street while he was doing it in uniform.
Nice!! When we lived on base (we are still an "Army family" - but no longer living on-base), we got the "Santa Claus chair" from the PX when they were remodeling! It is a really cool chair...the one they would use for Santa to sit in & take pictures with kids. We also got some other neat Christmas decor. And - it was all free!
Man on a Mission! Love it!!!
How or where does he find these treasures??? You must live in an amazing area! (Like in some parts of Germany, our friends stationed there told us about trash pick up day... everything is put on the curb and any one can freely pick it up, no problem...such things as furniture, and other big items.
Blessings & Aloha!
