Wicker Picnic Basket (Lingfield RH7)
Gifted
This is a picnic basket with four each of plate, mug, knife, fork and spoon. It's reasonably good quality, with leather strap fixings and leather holders for the plates. The mugs have their own removable wicker carrier. Size is 46 x 32 x 24cm approx. It's fairly heavy as the plates & mugs are porcelain. As can be seen from the last picture, there is a large coffee stain on the base lining inside - it should be a relatively easy task to either re-cover this or cover it with a drop-in base panel.

Outdoor rotary clothes airer (Sunnyside RH19)
Gifted
Not a good photo as I couldn't find anywhere to put it up. Despite the bad photo which makes it look a tangled mess, this seems to be in quite good condition, with no breaks to the line that I can see. It was obviously a fairly good make - heavier duty than most of the ones made today. Let me know if you need any dimensions.

Makita Battery Drill (Sunnyside RH19)
Gifted
Please: read the whole of this description before asking for the item: Another very nice quality Makita drill/driver which is in excellent condition and seems to have had hardly any use. Of course, the battery is completely, unrecoverably dead, because it sat unused for many years. This one is 18V, type 8391D.

McCulloch petrol strimmer - needs work (Sunnyside RH19)
Gifted
This a petrol powered McCulloch Trimmac 210 strimmer. It's a few years old (man. date 2002) and has been stored unused for many of those years. It appears to be in good condition but needs the plastic pipes from the fuel tank to the carb replacing (see final photo). It's obviously a common thing that deteriorates over time, as you can buy kits of parts (pipes, filter and priming bulb) on Ebay for only a few pounds. I have no reason to believe that it's not otherwise in working condition, but I can't ask the previous owner as they are no longer with us. Please only ask for this item if you are willing to do the repair work - it's a useless item if you are not...

Bosch battery drill (Sunnyside RH19)
Withdrawn
This is a Bosch 24V battery drill from the days of NiCad batteries. It has sat unused for maybe a decade so the battery is completely dead. Other than that I know nothing about the history of this drill - it does not look to have had a hard life, but I have no way to test it to confirm it's working. NiMH replacement batteries are still available for this drill. Alternatively, the keyless chuck appears to be in excellent condition and could possibly used to repair another drill. It will go to the small electricals recycling in a few days if no takers.

Castrol GTX3 engine oil (Sunnyside RH19)
Gifted
Any bangernomics operators here? One opened can of Castrol GTX3 Lightec 10W40 engine oil - approx 2.8l left. If you want it, please say so today. It doesn't need to be collected immediately, but it will go in oils recycling at the tip if nobody asks for it today.

Tunturi Rower (Sunnyside RH19)
Withdrawn
This is an old Tunturi rowing machine - as far as I can tell fully working, but with some cosmetic challenges (surface rust on the arms) and will need a bit of cleaning. Fairly heavy (20 kilos maybe). I didn't get a chance to measure it to see what size of car would be required to collect - please contact me if you need dimensions.

Small beech tree (Sunnyside RH19)
Gifted
Just a beech tree - but it's quite an interesting shape. Roughly a metre across. Needs to go into the ground soon, and I don't have anywhere to put it. Note that unlike in the photo, it does not come in a pot - the roots will be bagged, ready for planting or repotting.

Framed Peter Scott print (Sunnyside RH19)
Gifted
One of the classic Peter Scott paintings from the late '40s. Framed under glass - generally good condition but dusty and a splash or two of emulsion paint on the frame.

Beer crate side tables (Sunnyside RH19)
Gifted
Not your average pieces of furniture. This is a matching pair of side tables, which are simply drop-in wooden tops on a pair of stacked beer crates. Very simple and can be used to store beer as well! Note that these are not intended to be immaculate - they were made for the equivalent of a man-cave, where appearance was not important. Size of each is 30 x 40 x 55cm tall. To go as a pair. (Sorry, no beer included...)

Five small glazed plant pots (Sunnyside RH19)
Expired
Five pots, in a matching style. Each 11cm outer diameter x 9cm tall - no hole in the bottom, so suitable for indoor use.

Outdoor plants - Yuccas (Sunnyside RH19)
Gifted
Two hardy outdoor Yuccas - I think these may be Yucca Elephantipes, but not certain. These were potted a couple of years ago and are now fairly pot-bound. They really need to either go in bigger pots or go into the ground. The one on the left is about 80cm tall (inc. pot) x 75cm across - the other is a bit smaller. Note that over time these can grow quite large - to the size of a small tree - and that they are actually quite spiky-ended. Feel free to ask for both, or just one if that's all you need.

Big House/Conservatory Plant (Sunnyside RH19)
Gifted
First thing to note: it's big. In the photo it's the one in the foreground, not the background. This is a large potted indoor plant display consisting of three Dracaena Marginata, with a large flowering Christmas Cactus at the base. It's at least 20 years old and it's large - over 1.7m tall, and over 1m x 1m wide/deep. It would be ideal in a large hallway or conservatory. The pot on its own is quite large - approx 40cm x 40cm. In terms of size, it doesn't have to be that big, because Dracaena Marginata can be chopped right back down to the original stem and it will grow again (this has been done once already, probably a decade ago). If you're interested but want it cut back, I can do that for you, ready for transport.

Portable electronics case (Sunnyside RH19)
Gifted
These cases were part of an overseas project that got cancelled due to Covid. They are very strong locking cases with a dustproof seal around the door and a strong carry handle, and a recess/cutouts for solar input connectors. Size is 260 x 260 x 170mm. These are heavily built in powder-coated steel - although relatively small, the total weight per case is over 3 kilos. There are 4 of these cases available. Could possibly be used as key storage cabinets? The internal fixing frames for internal battery/controllers are also available for them.

Pair of car ramps (Sunnyside RH19)

Light surface rust and a few dinks here and there, but otherwise OK. Obviously they are quite heavy!

Long Carry Case (Sunnyside RH19)
Gifted
Given to me in a job lot of random items, but I have no use for it. This is a carry case for long items, such as things that cannot be carried outside without a case (e.g. bows, etc.). It's in fully usable condition with egg crate foam lining, but it's a bit grubby and one of the four catches is missing (but it closes securely with three). External dimensions 1120 x 300 x 150mm approx.

Dimmable LED candle bulb (Sunnyside RH19)
Expired
This is a brand new B22 (22mm bayonet) fitting dimmable LED candle bulb. Colour temp is 4000K (i.e. fairly cool white), brightness is equivalent to ~25W conventional bulb. I bought it for a lamp in the centre of a room and for that it's not bright enough! It would be better suited to mood lighting or a table lamp.

Small/med wooden chest (Lingfield RH7)
Gifted
This is a small wooden chest with over-centre clasps and edge/corner cappings. Despite appearances it is of relatively lightweight construction. Size is 50 x 30 x 30cm approx. It originally had a built-in lock and this is missing - but it has a hasp and staple on the front so a padlock could be added. It does have stickers/markings of a previous owner, as seen in the photos - which might take some effort to remove, if you care about that... Location is central Lingfield, but collection from EG might be possible if needed.
