Another story. I retired one of my old gas grills. I took the grill part of it off and just left the legs. I then attatched nice board to the top and had an instant workbench on wheels! (yep, way before scrapping and I tossed the cast aluminum grill part away. )
My father-in-law saw that and thought it was kinda neat. He was going to work one day and saw a grill by the side of the road, in the trash pile. He went to the owner's door and asked if he could have it, explaining what he would do with it. The owner said, sure, for 5 bucks. My FIL just walked away shaking his head. He had the money, no problem, he just couldn't see paying someone for something the just threw out. He was kinda mad because he even did the right thing and asked for it. He bought a workbench new instead.
