Have you ever been driving down the street and you do a double take?
“What was that just down the road?!” Must turn around.
No shame.
Why?! Because sometimes one man’s junk is another man’s treasure! ( Thanks Mom!)
We found this grill at the curb. With a sign saying FREE! We didn’t even have rope in our car. I used the old trick my dad taught me ( or I saw him do). Use our dog’s leash wrap that bad boy up and hold it tight by slamming the doors tight on the leash.
Now is the time to be on the lookout as people toss old ugly ones for something brand new and shiny.
But we are bargain hunters.
We brought it home.
I bought 2 cans of High Heat Spray paint at Home Depot for $10.
BEFORE
Cover up all the chrome spots or anything you do not wanted painted. Then choose your well ventilated area and paint away in smooth even streaks.
AFTER
Still have to paint the bottom! But I’m so excited about the results! I spent $10 total on that grill! SWEET!
What have you found at the side of the road recently?
LOVE IT?! PIN IT!

Heck yeah – this is awesome – I had no idea about the high heat spray, maybe Ill buy that and try to salvage my old grill – it was a hand me down from my aunt and uncle and has seen better days!
Tasia
Yes worth a try for sure! Thanks for stopping by Sam!

Awesome! Our grill just broke 3 weeks ago 🙁 I’m always scanning the curb for things!

Here’s hoping you can find one on the curb and make it over!
