The city of Louisville has 4 days a year where you can throw anything out you want. I have walked the alleys for the last 2 nights. I have found a mohagany dinning room table, very cool oak end table, and an upolstered chair without even a stain.........smokin

Ever find something cool?...........smokin

I remember going to the city dump with my Grandfather when I was a kid, We would take a big load and bring back a bigger one. (true!)

Aye. Though I'd imagine it wouldn't work very well.

Mishawaka, IN used to have "big trash" days and when I was a kid my cool Uncle Carl used to go gather up all the bicycle parts he could find and combine them into the most monsterous and magnificent bikes you've ever seen ridden.

I've never found anything, but our big trash day here is on Fridays. I've put out tv's, air conditioners, patio chairs and within minutes the stuff is picked up and hauled away by someone.

I found a small painting that had a rip through it.....I knew it was well done and took it home to research the name.....It was a local dead Michigan artist....The paintings of similarity to this one was worth $1,200 to $3,000. Because of the rip, I sold it to a conservator and she paid me $800 for it. Nice day at workbigsmile bigsmile

I've found some neat stuff... a potted rubber tree, tables, my ex found a couch. Lots of stuff lol.

My favorite find though, when I was 10 years old, I found a medium sized tupperware container filled with foreign coins, it was so cool.
