Roofing felt (Gladestry HR5)
Gifted
A fair-sized remnant roll of roofing felt which has been in a dry shed for a couple of years. A few feet of it has been cut in half but most of it is 1 metre wide. I would like it gone, so the sooner it can be collected the happier I will be!

Muji single bed, ash frame, high quality (Gladestry HR5)
Gifted
Really nice, high quality, comfortable single bed (even for adults) with solid wood frame by Japanese company Muji - far better than IKEA ! - plus mattress in good condition. It’s a very handsome and well-made piece of furniture. The mattress has a few water stains (as shown); the bed has been under a skylight which has on occasion been left open by mistake and the mattress has got soaked in the rain. Oops! However, it comes with a robust, freshly laundered mattress cover. Dimensions are : l 208 x w 103 x h (to frame) 27cm. Height to top of head frame is 82cm. The bed comes with original instructions - taker dismantles if necessary - and appropriate allen keys As this is such a nice item, I will wait a few days to assess the interest and then promise it to someone. However please note, it MUST be collected by the end of next weekend (Sunday 27/10), so before you express an interest please be sure you are able to transport it [note dimensions] and within the deadline! Thank you.

IKEA Rationell drawer unit, NEW (Gladestry HR5)
Withdrawn
This is an old style IKEA kitchen drawer unit - 60cm wide - from before they “upgraded” and resized their kitchens a few years ago. It does not have a front (as you choose them separately) but it is brand new and boxed. We bought it to replace a dodgy drawer in our kitchen but ended up living with the dodgy one! Maybe you have the same problem and this is your chance to fix it. Must be collected before Sunday.

Genuine vintage kitchen cupboard (Gladestry HR5)
Gifted
Very pretty kitchen cupboard with some great features, in generally good structural condition. However: one pane of glass is missing from the upper cupboard (we have a make-do solution as shown, but it really needs a new piece of glass); both hinges have come loose on the pull-down counter top in the middle, but the hinges are still there and could be re-attached; and all the door closers need some love so that they open and shut properly/easily. Dimensions (approx): 6’ high, 2’6” across, 1’4” deep. PLEASE, before you ask for this, ensure that you have ready access to a big enough vehicle to collect it. It will not go into a standard car, as it is six foot high! To be collected ASAP, preferably over this weekend (12-14 Sept).

Body board (Gladestry HR5)
Expired
A decent quality, solid body board in good condition. It has been kept in our shed for a few years, which accounts for its speckled appearance - but I’ve cleaned it and I think that a few outings in salt water will sort that out! If you would like it, please let me know immediately, because if there are no takers it’s going to the recycling centre on Sunday 31/8. Save it from the dump!

Workman’s lamp (Gladestry HR5)
Expired
Very bright lamp with long flex, for working in dark spaces eg attics. Could also be used as a spotlight outdoors. The tripod has surface rust but is still sturdy; the plug should probably be changed for safety.

Women’s bicycle (Gladestry HR5)
Gifted
Very sturdy women’s bike, which has been neglected in our lean-to for a few years and will need some tlc to revive. I’ve tried to show its true condition in the pics. It has some rust spots on the handle bars, and the chain is also very rusty; and the brakes will likely need to be replaced. But it is a good make of bike and I think could easily be restored to working order by someone with a bit of know-how.

Free:
Planting table (Gladestry HR5)
Gifted
Useful planting table in good condition - it’s just a little wobbly at some of the joints (it was self-assembly!) so it might benefit from some reinforcing. It has a removable tray for compost/gravel, drawers and wheels on one end so that it can be moved easily. Dimensions: length 93cm, width 43cm, height to table top 93cm, height to top back shelf 120cm

Kemble Minx Piano (Presteigne LD8)
Expired
Really nice family piano, a little worn but still makes a nice noise and is in tune with itself. Kemble pianos were apparently bought by schools as they were known to be so reliable. This one has been in my family for decades, we all learned to play on it when we were young. As per its name, it’s a very tidy size so will suit small rooms: l 52”/103cm x a 20”/51cm x height 36”/90cm. It needs to be moved by Sunday 11 August as the house is being sold. Flat, ramped access to ground floor; the piano is in castors which all still function.
