Free: Garden Play House - needs refurb (Westcliff-on-Sea (SS0)) This wood construction Roughly 4ft x 4ft x 4ft + pitched roof: Base is flooring grade chipboard on wood bearers, in reasonable condition but will need a bit of care during re-assembly; Sides are tongue and groove cladding on wood frame; Roof is OSB covered with heavy duty PVC tarp; Window panes are plastic, one missing; Hinges need a bit of oil, but still work It's in 'playworn' condition so it needs a scrub down and a coat of paint before re-assembly Re-assembly probably only needs a screwdriver (cordless is useful) All screws included (screws together from inside - just re-use previous holes) Spiders optional The inside is bare wood - so you may want to check for splinters or perhaps paint inside too The vendor is not responsible for repeated cries of "is it ready yet?" while being re-furb'd At present, there is no council tax payable on play houses - but this could change... Note: it's been re-stashed pending collection - but the pieces can be inspected if you wish

Free: 240V Low Energy Bulbs (Westcliff-on-Sea (SS0)) Expired Usual low energy fluorescent bulbs - all working - 1x Philips 8W, 2x Philips 11W, 1x LUMIN 20W, 1x Mazda 18W. The Mazda bulb comes in two parts - see photo - the base, plus the bulb that has a weird square socket.

Free: 240v 6W Candle style LED bulb (Westcliff-on-Sea (SS0)) Expired Similar size to usual candle style bulbs - it gives quite an intense white light. There is a spare plastic cover too so you could experiment with colouring the cover :o)

294d

Free: TESCO 240v LED Bulb (Westcliff-on-Sea (SS0)) Expired Slightly larger than a standard lightbulb - 2p coin shown to give comparative size. Used but still working. A warm general light, I'd guess about a 40W equivalent, light radiates around the whole glass area.

Free: 240v bayonet fitting LED Bulbs (Westcliff-on-Sea (SS0)) Gifted I've added a 2p to indicate size - they are quite large bulbs, a bit bigger than the equivalent filament bulbs we're used to. They provide quite a bright white light, mostly above the centre line. They're not marked with a light rating, but I'd guess about 60W equivalent.

Free: GU10 5W LED bulbs (Westcliff-on-Sea (SS0)) Expired As seen in photo - they were working when removed from fitting. These can be used to replace other 240v GU10 fitting bulbs - and they run at cool temperatures unlike the usual Halogen bulbs. 5W in LED terms is about 60W equivalent i think

Free: Fence Post repair spur (Westcliff-on-Sea (SS0)) Expired See photo. Used once for a short time until post replaced, so plenty of life left in it.

Free: GU 10 Halogen lamps (Westcliff-on-Sea (SS0)) Expired 10x GU 10 (240v) lamps. Halogen filament Working, but not needed, as replaced by LED equivalent. Note that these generate heat so can only be used in fittings designed for them (i.e. you shouldn't retrofit them into a fitting designed for LED lamps)

Free: Cisco Switch (Westcliff-on-Sea (SS0)) Expired Cisco Catalyst 2950 series. Rack mounting size 445mm x 238mm x 44mm 240v AC 12(no) RJ45 ports 10Base-T / 100 base-TX all on front panel. It is set up so that you can provide an etehrnet feed from your router, using a crossover cable (1 have one available if needed) and then link up to 11 devices using standard UTP drop cables. Or if you want to delve into the Cisco world, it can be programmed to do more. The only drawback is that the fan produces a background 'hum' which is not excessively 'noisy' but enough to be a noticeable distraction in a quiet office. If mounted in an equipment cabinet it wouldn't be a problem.

Free: Decorative chippings (Westcliff-on-Sea (SS0)) Gifted 2 bags of decorative (granite?) chippings, one bag now split and the other starting to discolour (or maybe the bag is?) You can open the bag and check if you like. These are the sort of thing you put on flowerbeds or pot plants. Space now needed for wheely bins !!

Request: wifi router (Westcliff-on-Sea (SS0)) Received Has anyone got an old wifi router they no longer need? I just want to set up a closed network to test things on.
