[quote:Biochemky:MV8yMDc3MTk1XzM0OTY4MzgzXzY3MkFDNjU1] This is what people do where I live. They cruise through several neighborhoods after 9 p.m. the evening before the trash pickup is scheduled in the neighborhoods the next morning. This is how they find all sorts of still useable presentable furniture and other household goods (lamps, shelves, wastebaskets, etc.) sitting at the curb waiting for the garbage men to pick it up. Whatever furniture they find that they like they get to take home for free. There is nothing wrong about doing this, you'll know if the furniture you find is worth taking with you. Many times all the furniture you find needs is a new "foot" on a sofa, slipcovers for couch cushions, resurfacing of a table, gluing of a desk drawer, or painting of legs and/or adding of chair pads for a set of kitchen chairs. The real trick is to cruise middle class and upper class neighborhoods in suburban areas that are far from where Hurricane Sandy caused so much damage and hardship. The next best thing is to hit the "moving sales" early on Sunday morning. get the local newspaper and look up garage sales/moving sales in the classified ads. People tend to let go of any extra furniture they have when they are moving out of town. They cannot take everything they would like to take with them and that is your good luck. Lastly, when hotels remodel you can often get really good deals on the older furniture that they are replacing. I wish you good luck and happy hunting. I know Hurricane Sandy was truly an especially devastating storm. I am sorry that you and your family have had to go through what must be a very challenging and extended (exhausting) period of time. God bless you. [/quote]
