A location where we could locate a lock box, near our office, so that when we lock ourselves out or lose our keys, we could get another from the lock box instead of having to go all the way home to get another key. The photograph shown is of a type of lockbox we understand to be commercially available. We would be prepared to pay a small fee or provide a reciprocal service.

Live Animal Cage Trap (Havahart Model #1025), a humane way to catch squirrels, weasels, chipmunks, rodents, and other similar-size nuisance animals. Available for rent ($5 a week). And I hope you will record your experiences in using it in the messages section of this sharing interest. The photograph shows the cage loaded, with an apple slice as bait (thanks to a local doctor's prescription). (But note that experienced humane trapper Grims suggests using nuts...and has other good advice in his message.)

Wanted to share (by renting, swap for use of boat, or other arrangement), a single parking stall, preferably covered, near Broadway and Oak in Vancouver, for use from 8:30 am to 6 pm, roughly, on weekdays. The photograph of a parking sign is from a website that sells parking signs. See http://www.parkingsigncorner.com/aspa.html.

For use to commute occasionally to work/home between West Point Grey and the False Creek area in Vancouver. I don't own such a vehicle but would be willing to buy an interest in, preferably, a new one. Photo is sample only. Proposed number of sharing parties: 2-3. Estimated total purchase price: $2,400-$3,900. Estimated purchase price per sharing party: $800-$1,950. Estimated total annual ownership costs: $1,500. Estimated annual ownership cost per sharing party: $500-$750. (Costs are guesses at this point. We will need to revise.)

Our family owns this boat and would like to find someone or a family to share. We have it currently moored at our cabin on Bowen Island in the summer but could move it to a marina in or close to Vancouver. In the Fall, Winter and Spring (about 9 months) we store it on our property under covered shelter. The engine is a 135 horsepower Mercruiser inboard-outboard. There is a cuddy cabin that sleeps two and a head. The boat is in very good condition. Willing to sell a half interest for $10,000. Photo is of a similar (but perhaps slightly smaller) boat.

Our Catalina 34 sailboat, moored on Granville Island in Vancouver, and its small Universal M35B (marinized Kubota) diesel engine get lots of TLC but can always do with more. This is a strictly voluntary, unpaid opportunity to share in the maintenance of a coastal cruising sailboat and its diesel engine as much or as little as you wish. Proposed number of volunteers: 1-2. Cost: nil. Qualifications: ideally you would know something about rigging or sails or the maintenance of fiberglass boats or diesel engines but none of this is necessary.
