There it was. On top of a pile of rubbish in the back of a Ford truck. I'd seen the truck, parked in the same spot for weeks, but hadn't checked the contents. As I drove past on Sunday, I spied the X shape. Before my brain even engaged, I turned around in the parking lot of a chiropractor's office and screeched to a halt behind the bed of the truck. In less than one minute, it was in the back of the Dodge. I didn't even register how heavy it was until I was safely back in the driver's seat cruising down Broadway. You know how, every once in a while, a baby falls under a car and some bystander suddenly gains freakish adrenaline-fueled strength and lifts up the car, thereby freeing the baby? It was like that. Bye Bye went the rotting wood top.
Now look at it!

That was well worth that extra rush of adrenaline to "rescue" Looks great.
Oh hello you gorgeous thing. Awesome save. Junk power is a mighty thing indeed!
and you just happened to have a glass top in your stash? Good rescue Dot!
Nice job! Using it or selling it??
Nice find!! It is gorgeous with the glass top! hugs, Linda
What a find! Fantastic idea!
Unfortunately I'm such a wussy when it comes to grabbing stuff--my cousin always wants me to cruise around after dark to pick through curbside trash and so far it's a no go for me. Now here you are grabbing a heavy piece of metal off a truck! The table is fantastic!
Fantastic find! Good for you for seeing the potential in the piece-- too many people don't realize the value of a part when a junky looking whole is in front of them.
Wow, Pam. WOW! Can't wait to see this beauty in it's new resting place ;)
I did that adrenaline rush thing a couple months ago when I garbage picked a concrete donkey with a broken leg. Tossed him in my truck no problem but when I went to take him out once I got home I had to get the teenager out to assist. ;) Awesome table!
Most excellent rescue - high five!
