Save your time look on craigs list post a wamted in items. I did and a
woman named Mary called with a stainless steel rolling rack that her hubby
made 30 years ago...in mint condition 24deep x 60wi x 60hi. 5 removable
stainless racks.On wheels....at $35 bucks :) Plus she is now a customer and
calls sometimes to get mugs or tell me about other items she has for
sale....last time she called she needed a can of coffee so she had me bring
her a can for a 25 pound block of old hard cone 10 clay,,,I did and
wondered why....then the other day I needed some cone 10 for a stilt
project and tere I had it.She was nice and it pays to be nice bck so post
away and recycle someones stainless rack!
