Their trash, our treasure

My husband has been secretly wanting an electric hedge trimmer.  I didn't know about this until he walked into the house with one the other day.  We always discuss large purchases, so I was a little taken back.  Then he told me it was free!

Some neighbors were moving out and apparently didn't want to take their hedge trimmer with them.  They put it out by the road and my lucky husband was the first to find it.  It works fine and almost looks brand new.  He gets a new toy, (tool, whatever) and our bank account doesn't suffer!

I can't tell you how many things we have owned over the years that have come to us through someone's trash.  It's our version of American Pickers - and it's free.
