Sacks & plastic sheets (Llanbister)
18h
- Bags of strong plastic bags of various sizes, mostly suitable for rubble or other heavy stuff. 2/3 plastic sheets, fairly strong, various sizes (I think 2 are around 6x6ft), good for dust sheets perhaps though not not all are squeaky clean. Some have gone, would like to rehome the rest soon.

Curtain (Llanbister)
23h
- I'm looking for a medium/heavy curtain for a small doorway, approx 72"(180cm) x 30"(75cm). Preferably a plain-ish, dark-ish red, blue or green. At that width I guess its more likely to be one of a pair, in which case I could probably make use of the other half. Thanks.

Electric blinds (Llanbister)
Gifted
34d
- 3 blue electric blinds, 2 mounting in matching 'pelmets'. Rechargeable motors but mechanisms and a couple of the blind end-fixings not guaranteed as they were forced by guests. Sizes: all 145cm wide, drops (based on window apertures but are actually a bit longer) 160, 122 & 113cm The charging transformer and very long lead has disappeared but if it surfaces I'll gladly pass it on (replacements available online). With fixing brackets and 2 x remote controls (which can be programmed to control up to 5 or 6 blinds). These are offered 'as is'. If motors are u/s, the blinds themselves are in pretty good condition and might be able to be used manually although there are no return springs.

Instant Grandad’s Shed…? (Llanbister)
Gifted
147d
- (Please do not request this unless you are genuinely interested and can make a firm arrangement to collect...) Did you secretly admire your Dad’s/Grandad’s/strange uncle’s tool shed for its Aladdin’s Cave of nails, screws, nuts and bolts in old tobacco tins, weird tools and random bits and pieces which might come in useful one day? Channel your inner sheddie and instantly recreate that nostalgia with an assortment of the same, including odd plumbing and electrical pieces, plus an authentic veneer of rust here and there. Some actually did belong to my dad, father in law and other distinguished predecessors. All or nothing. Not splitting.
