It’s not just fans out in the trash that can be salvaged for a little effort.
My neighbor put a solar bird bath out for trash a couple of days ago. I asked him why he was tossing it. “The basin leaks and the pump stopped pumping.” was his reason.
Hmmm...I took it home and found a small crack in the basin that I sealed up with a little silicone caulk. Then I took the solar pump apart and cleaned it. Works fine now, just needed a little work.
And now we have a nice solar bird bath fountain that cost $60 new for just a few cents worth of caulk and a half hour labor. The fountain flow is low in this pic since it is in the shade late in the day. It’s a 10” tall fountain in full sun. My wife is happy to have it in our garden now.
His trash is now our treasure...with just a little effort.
