Free: Power Down plug (auto switchoff peripheral devices) (Peachcroft OX14) Promised The E.ON PowerDown is an energy-saving smart plug designed to cut power to standby devices, specifically for desktop computers or televisions. How the E.ON PowerDown Plug Works: * Master Socket: Plugs into your main device (like a TV or PC) to sense when it is turned on or off. * 2x Slave Sockets: Powers your extra items (like printers, speakers, or game consoles) and turns them completely off to save electricity. * Standby Saver: Stops hidden power waste and adds built-in surge protection for safety. In original box (with some instructions) as never used by us

Free: Smart meter (home energy monitor) (Peachcroft OX14) Promised Home smart meter for monitoring electricity and gas usage and cost. Energy suppliers will generally provide these for free but we no longer need this one as we have a different model from our current supplier. Note that in order for this to work your meters need the ability to transmit data over wifi and that may require an upgrade (from your energy supplier). You can configure your own targets and actual energy costs and the unit connects through home wifi to get readings from your actual meters.

Free: Bike pannier bag (one side only) (Peachcroft OX14) Promised Can be fitted to any bike with a pannier rack. Originally bought as a pair of bags which were connected over the rack but one bag split and has been cut off so now just one side plus the top that goes over the rack. Served well for years but we needed more capacity so went with a basket to replace. Remaining bag is easy to attach, in good condition and fairly waterproof - size approx 32cm x 32cm x 12cm deep. Original item on Amazon is still on sale but only half of this now unfortunately:

Free: Collection of small natural wood offcuts (Peachcroft OX14) Gifted Collection of more than 20 small wooden offcuts in various sizes and types of wood. Largest is appox 28cm x 10 cm x 2cm. Some are planks, some are blocks, some are planed, all are untreated real wood. Good for someone who likes wood carving.

Free: Evolution electric mitre saw (needs some repair) (Peachcroft OX14) Gifted Evolution R185 SMS sliding mitre saw. Has been well used for various decking and flooring projects but has become somewhat temperamental so I think needs some repair. The blade will initially spin well and often cut through a few boards but then suddenly stops and jams in the wood. I've already tried replacing the brushes but this didn't resolve the issue so may need a new motor and I've decided to go with something new rather than spend time and money trying to fix this. Aside from this fault in good working order, although the blade has never been replaced and is probably overdue replacement (easily available from B&Q).

Free: Short sections of used decking (Peachcroft OX14) Gifted Decking - about 25 sections that are cut up to be circa 50cm long each. Note that this has been pressure treated as external wood and since painted with wood stain but much of this has since worn off. Advice from a Google search is that it shouldn't be burned as this can release the toxins that are impregnated in pressure treatment, so this is really being offered for construction purposes.

Free: Short sections of pressure treated wooden frame & decking (Peachcroft OX14) Gifted Our wooden climbing frame was well used but reached the end of its life and couldn't be dismantled for re-assembly. I also replaced a section of decking so have the wood from both to dispose of. Note that in both cases this is previously pressure treated external wood. Advice from a Google search is that it shouldn't be burned as this can release the toxins that are impregnated in pressure treatment, so this is really being offered for construction purposes. There are three types of wood and fine if you want to take some and leave others: * Circa 50 sections which are generally 7cm x 7cm (3" x 3") and 20-25cm (6"-8") long. This came as pressure treated (to survive outside) and has never been painted or stained since. I've removed most of the nails/screws/fixings but some small metalwork may remain. I =was thinking these could be firewood but was then told about the advice not to burn. * Wooden frame - about 20 sections cut to lengths between 80 & 120cm, mostly 7cm x 7cm (3" x 3") square sections. This came as pressure treated (to survive outside) and has never been painted or stained since. Most of the metal fixings have been removed but some remain. * Decking - about 25 sections that are cut up to be circa 50cm long. The decking was originally pressure treated and has since been stained or painted by myself a number of times over the years, however much of this has since worn off.

Free: Cream/Tan carpet from lounge (Peachcroft OX14) Gifted Carpet that has been lifted to be replaced with wooden floor. Used for circa 20 years but from a pet free home so in a usable state. Room size is 5.7m x 3.7m and carpet all in one piece, although there is a cut out on one side for the fireplace and the full length includes a bay window.

In full working order but needs re-installation (likely professional) with a flue and connection to mains gas (microbore). Supplied with both coals and pebbles. Installation manuals can be found online. Height = 59cm, width = 50cm, protrudes approx 12cm and needs to be recessed into the wall about the same. Note I'm also offering the wooden fireplace surround so see separate listing for this:

Free: Wooden fireplace surround (Peachcroft OX14) Gifted Wooden fireplace surround removed from lounge as no longer used. In good condition but was stuck to the wall with 'no more nails' sealant so will need some cleaning up. 122 wide in total (but 131cm wide at top shelf) and 105cm high Central recess = 88cm wide and 82-90cm high (curved top).

Free: Karcher patio washer (Peachcroft OX14) Gifted Compatible with any Karcher pressure washer (attachment only, not offering the pressure washer). This is the basic patio cleaner that came bundled with my K2 washer but I have since upgraded to a more powerful model so have no need of this any more. Working and not used very much.

139d

Free: Old decking & climbing frame beams for burning (Peachcroft OX14) Expired I've replaced some decking that was getting rotten and dismantled a climbing frame. Please collect the wood if you can use it for burning: Decking - about 25 sections that are cut up to be circa 50cm long. The decking was obviously originally pressure treated and has since been stained or painted by myself a number of times over the years. I've used standard B&Q wood stain or exterior paint, much of which is now worn off but don't know how any chemicals may have seeped into the wood. Wooden frame - about 20 sections cut to lengths between 80 & 120cm, mostly 7cm x 7cm (3" x 3") square sections. This came as pressure treated (to survive outside) and has never been painted or stained by myself since. Most of the metal fixings have been removed but some remain.

Free: Beech effect corner TV unit (Peachcroft OX14) Gifted Beech effect unit, intended for use as a corner TV unit. TV goes on top and below is an open shelf for PC, console, DVD player etc and below this a drawer. Two shelves on each side for display if left open. Measurements are 73cm wide & deep and 49cm high. Main recess = 45cm x 48cm x 21cm, drawer 45cm x 33cm x 17cm. Please note the top shelf has a lighter patch in the centre from where the old style TV used to sit. Also much of the left side has been cut away to allow for cabling to the various devices so you'll want to block this off with something.

Free: Fireguard (Peachcroft OX14) Gifted Black metal mesh fireguard (for child/pet safety) - lightweight and easy to move. In good condition as rarely used. Approx 69cm high, 52cm wide and 10cm deep

149d

Free: Fireman's pole (from dismantled outdoor playframe) (Peachcroft OX14) Expired Blue fireman's pole from a dismantled children's playframe. You can either have just the pole or I can also supply with the 2"x2" upper wooden beam that it was attached to. The pole itself is 214 cm long and there is a welded threaded end which adds an additional 9cm to the length. The pole is hollow metal (probably steel).

283d

Free: Wooden climbing frame (not yet dis-assembled) (Peachcroft OX14) Expired Mostly wooden children's climbing frame including slide, wooden ladder, rope ladder, climbing wall, cargo net and fireman's pole. This needs quite a bit of garden space with the main section being 3m long and 1.3m wide (and 2.8m tall), however with the ladder and slide included the width becomes 4.7m so you really need 3m x 4.7m of ground space for the full frame (although you could choose to exclude or move some bits if needed). The deck is 1.4m off the ground and accessible using the wooden ladder, climbing wall, rope ladder or cargo net. It's generally in a reasonable state for its age (about 15 years old) but the beams that are in contact with the ground are rotting (see last photo) and you may want to consider replacing these, all the other beams seem solid but there is definitely some sway in the frame with too many children (or teenagers) on it. Also the rope to assist with the climbing wall is very frayed so you'd probably want a new rope for this. Please note - you will likely need a van to collect this as the longest beams are 2.8m in length. Please also note that I have not dis-assembled this (and am not offering to do so myself). If you are interested in this you should expect to spend some hours disassembling it and then the same to rebuild it at the other end - this isn't complicated but it will need basic DIY skills and time. I expect some of the bolts and fixings will be very stiff and could be difficult to remove. I may be able to help with disassembly depending on when you want to do it, but I am working most days and looking to give the frame to someone who could do it themselves (I'd suggest you have at least two people). If you have a few people and a large enough van I think you could take this in sections rather than breaking down to the individual beams, which would save on re-assembly time. The to this listing. In your reply please tell me how you plant to dismantle and move the frame.

Free: Purple window blinds (to fit 210cm wide * 108cm deep window) (Peachcroft OX14) Expired Purple (appear a bit reddish in full sun) vertical window blinds taken from a recently re-decorated bedroom. They are a fixed size and not easily adjustable so your window would need to be 210cm wide and 108cm deep (or slightly bigger). They are a little discoloured from years of blocking sunlight but the mechanisms for drawing the blinds and turning closed or open work fine (two chains at the left side). At the bottom of the blinds a plastic line of beads should connect to each blind but a few of these are broken (see last picture, although doesn't stop the blinds being open and closed).

312d

Free: Double-braced steel keyboard stand (one leg slightly bent) (Peachcroft OX14) Expired A sturdy double-braced keyboard stand that was used for a very heavy keyboard. One of the legs is slightly bent which means you need to add some padding under it to stabilise, or you could try bending it back into shape. The second photo shows what should be a straight line and the third photo zoomed in to show the crack that exists. Folded down the stand is 100cm long and its 34cm deep at the keyboard end and 45cm deep at the feet, easily adjustable to one of five heights using a steel lockpin.

316d

Free: Family size (5 person) tent - old & not waterproof (Peachcroft OX14) Gifted Family sized tent with central living area and bedrooms at both ends. It is an Outwell 'Winfield Plus' model. The tent is circa 10 years old and was initially used a few times per year but hasn't been used in the past ten years or so as we upgraded (and TBH I forgot we had it stored in the loft). Technically sleeping room for five (three in the larger bedroom, two in the smaller) but quite tight unless at least some of the people are younger children. Bedrooms are inner tents that clip into the assembled tent and have integrated groundsheets but the main tent does not (although there is a separate groundsheet which fills the gap between the inner tents. When we last used it it was starting to leak so can't be trusted to be waterproof so ideally suited for fair weather camping or as a play tent. Note: Fair Chance policy applies, to give people more time to respond.
