Free: 9 cube fabric and metal unit (Wigmore HR6) I forgot to take the picture before I dismantled it. But, this collection of metal pipes, plastic pieces and fabric is a 3 X 3 cube storage unit. The pipes and plastic form the framework that the fabric sleeves slot into and slide on, forming the shelves. The fabric is grubby and a couple of pieces have tears. The fabric parts are easily copied with other fabric and a sewing machine or even glue or iron-on webbing.

Free: Compost. (Wigmore HR6) Promised I have a big pile of home made compost. It's a nicely balanced mixture that hasn't been topped up for 4 months, so it's all nice and brown. The downside to it is that one of my lads wasn't as thorough about not putting plastic in it. The compost and house rubbish bin were directly next to each other, I guess sometimes when laziness set in and the general rubbish bin was full, the things like bits of clingfilm, or peel off milk bottle caps ended up falling in. It's two thirds of a large square plastic bin. I fully expect when it's loosened it will fill at least six wheelbarrows. I have the wheelbarrow to get it from the back of the garden to the front of the house. You will need to dig it yourself, as I've messed up my back. Any afternoon after 1pm Wigmore.

Free: LPG Dual Fuel Range cooker (Wigmore HR6) Expired A Belling range cooker 110cm wide, 63cm deep, normal height (I forgot to measure). 6 gas rings plus a double electric hot plate on top. 6 gas burners of varying sizes. Glass cover that acts as a back splash when in use. One small electric oven with a grill element. Top left. One large electric fan oven. Bottom left. One large electric oven. Top right One small warming oven. Bottom right. This was working before it was removed. It's also been thoroughly cleaned (see second picture). Although bulky, it's not that heavy. A strong sack truck, with a blanket for padding worked getting it into the house, It was put on it's end for that maneuver. The bad bits are, the knobs are worn and some are missing their centre decorative button. Plus the front where the icons are, is scratched and worn, with hard to see icons that should show which burner is on and what temperature. Must be picked up by 15th October.

114d

Free: Wooden digital alarm clock (Wigmore HR6) Gifted A wood veneered alarm clock. When the letters glow, they show through the thin veneer. When you don't want them showing it looks like a triangular block of wood. If my memory serves me right, it shows day, date, time, alarm function, and temperature. I'll also throw in the adaptor for the mains. It also works on 4 AAA batteries.

Free: Single pine bed (Wigmore HR6) Gifted A 3 foot single pine bed. The bed is solid pine, with a headboard and baseboard (footboard). I couldn't get the camera in the gap to show the baseboard properly. It's in a good solid condition. Two slats broke, (my son was six foot and heavy with it, he stood on his bed to replace a light bulb... nuf said), so they've been removed and replaced with a piece of mahogany (the dark brown piece at the headboard end). The mattress is a good quality one but has some stains. If you want the mattress I will do my best to clean it up. There are only cosmetic defects, some deep scratch marks on one of the slat holding pieces, (can be hidden against a wall) and wear on the part where someone would sit on the edge before standing. The bed is already dismantled into it's relevant parts, the side pieces are just a bit over 6 foot long (2 metres), the headboard is the next bulkiest part, being close to 3 foot by 3 foot (1 metre), the base board being shorter. I have all the dowels, bolts and those weird pieces that the bolts thread into. Collection from Wigmore, any afternoon after 1pm and evening until about 10pm.

Free: Extra large pieces of cardboard (Wigmore HR6) Gifted I have a pile of cardboard, as in 2 metres long by 1.5 metres X 5, sized pieces, that my flat pack wardrobe came in. Does anyone want it for mulching their flower beds, ebay selling parcels, children's forts, what have you? I can't keep them long as they are really cluttering up my dining room.

Free: Cardboard, very large pieces. (Wigmore HR6) Gifted I have a pile of cardboard, as in 5 lots of 2 metres long by 1.5 metres, sized pieces, that my flat pack wardrobe came in. Does anyone want it for mulching their flower beds, ebay selling parcels, children's forts, what have you? I can't keep them long as they are really cluttering up my dining room.

Free: Barstool and 4 chairs (Wigmore HR6) Expired Barstool needs tightening, the gaffer tape taking off the bottom, and a screw has been tightened too far and caused a little but of bulging on the seat, plus some brasso on the metal so wouldn't go amiss. The four chairs are two sets of two, the only real difference is in the stitching on the back rest. They are all rough (cat scratches, split vinyl etc), and really need recovering. They also need something doing to the seat as they are all cracked underneath. It would still be cheaper than new chairs (phew, do new chairs cost a lot). I will split. Pick up in Wigmore any afternoon or evening.

Free: Workshop/ shed Woodburn stove, with chimney and waterproof f (Wigmore HR6) Gifted This is my small woodburner that I used in my workshop, when I still able to do woodwork. It took all those pesky scraps of wood and turned my workshop toasty. The wood burner is made from an old calor gas bottle, and has a flat top, great for boiling a kettle or steam bending wood. It and the chimney do need a good rub down and repaint, because ofvthe rust, but it's only surface deep. I had the chimney made to lift up from the stove, then bend out of the now blocked window, to rise above the roof height. It should work for most sheds still, maybe by cutting it down. The flange will need a bit of silicon to repair it, but should be good after that. I wiill also throw in the paving slab it is sitting on. The burner AND chimney need to go as one, as I don't have the means to transport the chimney to the tip. A trailer or van will be needed. Pick up Wigmore.

Free: Artificial lawn offcuts (Wigmore HR6) Gifted I have some artificial lawn offcuts, brand new, never been put down. Most are 45cm wide by varying widths, up to 1.5m. So if you want a doormat, an indoor golf putting strip, a landing zone for a slide, or other uses (please do tell me what you end up using it for, I'd love to hear what unusual uses it could be for), there's six pieces available, so far. They are damp, at the moment, because they are being kept outdoors, but easily roll up to fit in a rubbish bag. If anyone is patching their own artificial lawn, the grass is 38mm long and Burford Green colour scheme. Pick up in Wigmore, afternoons or evening.

166d

Free: Dinner bowls (Wigmore HR6) Gifted Four matching dinner bowls from the Water Garden range by Portmeirion. Sadly they all have small chips on their rims, so can't be sold. I am hoping that someone on here can give these very pretty bowls a new life, maybe as bonsai plant pots or something. Collection any afternoon or evening.

245d

Free: Broken workshop vacuum (Wigmore HR6) Gifted I have a water damaged workshop vacuum. I haven't dared to test it, seeing that the motor had water trickling on to it for months. But, the body may be useful as a rubbish bin, or scrap wood holder. The clamp to hold the lid down is still working. If you want to try and get it working again, I will give the vacuum hose with it. In size it's 50 litres.

254d

Free: Firewood (Wigmore HR6) Expired I have a pile of fire wood from a pine tree and a sturdy bush that has been chopped down in my garden. Added to the pile are probably 3 or 4 broken pallets and other miscellaneous timber. There is no composite wood like chipboard etc. Some of the wood has been wet, or is still not dry, so needs to be aired over the summer. The pallets have been left as is, because I can't dismantle them, even if I could it would only leave loads of nails sticking out. There is probably a small weelie bin amount of wood. Pick up in Wigmore, afternoon or evening

Free: Palm tree trunk. (Wigmore HR6) Gifted Hi, I've had to chop down a palm tree (dates not coconuts), to stop our cats using it as a way to bypass the cat fence we have. It's about six foot long, and 8 to 10 inches wide. I was hoping there was a woodworker on here, who would like to try his hand at using it for something. I've been told that it isn't really suitable for firewood. Collection from Wigmore.
