Meter "Hutch" (Chippenham SN15)
Withdrawn
My new gas meter doesn't stick so far out of the ground as the old one and no longer needs this "hutch", which the engineer made an excuse not to take away. It's off to the tip at some point unless someone else has a use for it. Please indicate when you would like to collect from Chippenham.

Postcrete (Chippenham SN15)
The remains of a bag of postcrete, probably about 1 or 2 kg, enough to finish a job but probably not enough by itself for anything other than a very small post. Opened a couple of weeks ago but dry stored (obviously!) since. Please indicate when you would like to collect from Chippenham.

Offcuts of EPDM rubber sheet (Chippenham SN15)
Gifted
One L shaped piece about 157cm x 135cm on the long edges, one smaller piece which I've not measured but probably about 70cm x 60cm, a couple of long strips 3 or 4 metres long & about 20cm wide and a few more little bits that may do for patching. All has been used and has glue on one side. Probably sufficient to roof an animal hutch or log store, and the long strips would probably work on an apex roof ridge. Please indicate when you would like to collect from Chippenham and whether you want all or just some.

Single piece of Rebar (Chippenham SN15)
Gifted
A piece of rebar which was left behind by a builder. It was used for marking out (taut string between two poles gives you a straight edge) but I gather it's used for reinforcing concrete. About 1 metre long. There's a bit of cement at one end that will probably chip off - I used it for stirring postcrete! Please indicate when you would like to collect from Chippenham.

Small oak tree (Chippenham SN15)
Gifted
This lovely little oak tree desperately needs to go into a bigger pot, or even the ground if you have space. It stands about 4 ft tall and as can be seen is a bit "leggy", but I'm sure it will bush out once the roots have a bit of sideways space. Please indicate when you would like to collect from Chippenham.

Concrete blocks (Chippenham SN15)
Gifted
Around 12 or 15 concrete blocks approx 45 x 22 x 11cm. Some moss and soil on them but no mortar. These are very heavy and will need moving from the back garden to the front of the house. If you plan to use a barrow or trolley it will need to fit through a 60cm wide gateway. Please indicate how many you need and when you would like to collect from Chippenham.

Timber from dismantled shed (Chippenham SN15)
Gifted
Mainly shed timber but also some other bits that I've been hanging onto for years waiting for the day they might come in useful! Much more than pictured, the shed was 12 ft x 10 ft and in reasonable condition so there are some usable lengths of shiplap and carcassing suitable for repairs or garden building projects. There is also still a bit of t&g flooring/roofing left. All has been de-nailed. It seems a shame to take it to the tip but if no takers I'll be cutting it into car-sized pieces and that's where it will be going. Easy parking. Please indicate when you would like to collect from Chippenham.

Bird feeding stations (Chippenham SN15)
Gifted
Two bird feeding stations on long poles, each with hooks for hanging feeders, fat balls etc over the winter months and loops for dishes of water or seed (no dishes, you'll have to find you own, perhaps a suitably-sized plant pot saucer). Quite weathered but no obvious rust. I suspect the poles will no longer dismantle so consider how they will fit in your car, if that's how you are intending to collect, the one with the top finial/hooks attached is about 2.4m long, the other not much shorter. Please indicate if you want one or both, and when you would like to collect from Chippenham.

I'm looking for a small piece of MDF to make a lightweight tiny high shelf. 6 or 9mm thick and about 20 or 25cm square. An offcut of laminate flooring would work, I can cut to size and I'm intending to paint it so colour doesn't matter. Can collect to suit you, Chippenham only please.
