Free: Carpets, Lots (St. Dunstan's CT2) Withdrawn 10 bedrooms + 2x living rooms from a pair of houses in Hales place, Canterbury that are getting a total refurbishment starting today (Friday) Carpets could be reused but would also be fine for lining the back of vans, covering / burying under allotments, putting onder pond liners, putting around the inside of garages to protect car doors & bumpers etc etc. All the rooms are a decent size so they'll likely be big enough for whatever you're planning.

Free: Houseful of Furniture, Carpets Etc. (St. Dunstan's CT2) Expired No time to list details, but essentially a 5 bed house about to get stripped out completely for refurbishment so everything must go, including carpets. Typically each bedroom will have a 4' double bed & mattress, a desk & chair, a freestanding wardrobe & a chest of drawers. We don't have anywhere to store the stuff & would prefer to put new stuff in after refurbishment, so this needs to go ASAP & it seems a shame to flatten it all into a skip. If you're interested in anything please get in touch ASAP! Including a reliable mobile number. Canterbury CT2

Free: Digital Kitchen Scales, With A Twist... (St. Dunstan's CT2) Gifted Digital kitchen scales, glass top, 220 x 155mm. Max weight 5kg. Can display lb-oz, g, ml, & has a "tare" button to zero out the weight of an empty container. Takes one CR2032 button cell battery (probably the most common size?) Battery lasts for ages. The "twist" with these is that they're no longer reliable for small weights. For small amounts they can display up to 10g either side of the correct figure, eg 30g might appear as anything between 20g > 40g. For larger weights they are absolutely fine, so eBay parcels etc you'd be OK. My guess is that something sticky has got into one of the feet, but we've replaced them with a larger one. Collection from Whitstable Road, Canterbury CT2

71d

Free: Moving Boxes & Packaging (St. Dunstan's CT2) Gifted 3 substantial & really solid boxes, one of which contains many smaller & equally strong boxes that fit inside it perfectly. Top one 49 x 49 x 30cm Mid one 44 x 44 x 42cm Bot 46 x 37 x 31cm Also have a sack full of the scrunchy brown paper packaging, some bubble wrap & a good pile of used jiffy bag padded envelopes in all sizes. Collection from Whitstable Road, Canterbury CT2

76d

Free: Hairdryer (St. Dunstan's CT2) Gifted Revlon hairdryer. Two heat settings + cold air only. Built in retractable cord. Works fine when plugged in but have not done any safety testing beyond that. Can confirm that it doesn't trip our circuit breakers, or smell of burning. History unknown as it was abandoned with a pile of stuff in a rented house when tenants left. Marking on handle suggests that it's lived in a drawer with a lot of other stuff, but that could just be ordinary wear & tear, in which case it could have had a lot of use. No idea how old it is. Collection from Whitstable Road, Canterbury CT2

Free: Old robotic vacuum cleaner (St. Dunstan's CT2) Gifted 1st generation iRobot Roomba vacuum cleaner. Robotic vacuum is all a misnomer, these are actually robotic floor sweepers, the only vacuum function is there to capture the dust that the rotating brush flicks up & direct it in to the dust compartment. 95mm tall (will it get stuck under your sofa?) 330mm diameter (will it get stuck between chair legs?) Works by bumping into things gently then turning round & going off in a different direction. Parks itself back on its charger when it's finished or going flat. No camera or WiFi etc capability, it's completely dumb, so at least it can't spy on you & send the details back to the manufacturers, which has been a persistent problem with newer robovacs. We've had it for years but used it very little as we're not a tidy household, & it doesn't deal well with anything left on the floor (eg cables, socks, rugs, pets...) so it got relegated to sweeping the floor in our little conservatory, but that room is quite small, & we find that we just flick round it with a broom instead, so now it's just taking up space. (Or just gathering dust, to steal Tim Vine's perfect one liner) It had a new (non-genuine, off the Internet) battery about a year ago. It comes with the little battery-powered beacon that you place to keep it out of places where there's no physical barrier, eg top of a staircase. That beacon requires two HP2 aka D-cell batteries. We even have the original box somewhere. The only thing that I can't find is the lit3tool to make clearing fluff & hair from the rotating brush easier, but it's definitely around somewhere so if it hasn't turned up she you collect we'll pass it on when we find it. It's not essential. Collection from Whitstable Road, Canterbury CT2.
