Free: picket fence and gate (Abingdon OX14) Gifted I replaced this fence even though it was in great shape, just to change to a different style, and then left it in the garden for a few years... It definitely needs sanding and probably painting, but the timber itself is pressure treated and hence still in pretty good shape. Some of the slats have fallen off and need to be nailed or screwed back in. That's why things look a bit crooked in the photos - I just leaned the loose slats against the panels to make sure they are all there. I have: - two fence sections 2.0m wide, 0.8m high - one fence section 1.4m wide, 0.8m high - one gate, 1.0m wide, 0.8m high - four fence posts, 85mm x 85mm, 0.9-0.95m high, with ground spikes 0.6m long - one extra ground spike

Free: small camping fridge (Abingdon OX14) Gifted Runs on 12V (car plug) or 230V. 16 litres volume. Can cool down or heat up - although I have never tried the latter. It's in working order. However, it's one of those models that can only cool down about 15 degrees below ambient temperature. That's good enough to keep a few drinks cold, but not good enough to store meat or dairy products. Which is why I had to buy a much more expensive camping freezer, and you can now have my old fridge for free.

Free: scrap wood (Abingdon OX14) Expired I have a lot of scrap timber left over from a house refurbishment. Short pieces of 4x2, floor boards, and cut-offs of new timber that I used instead. Some of this is treated, some of it is painted, and there is a huge range of sizes. Come and pick however much of it you like!

Free: wardrobe (Abingdon OX14) Gifted beech effect, 170cm tall, 140cm wide, 50cm deep. Three doors, one row of drawers at the bottom. Already disassembled. No instructions, but for someone reasonably experienced with flat pack furniture this should be easy to put back together. In decent shape. Some minor damage from disassembly and storage, but I don't think anything visible from outside. (See photos of the damage that I noticed: chipped interior of one drawer, and one slightly bent door hinge.)

Free: play pit sand, 18kg (Abingdon OX14) Gifted A nearly full bag (about 18kg left) of play pit sand. We just needed a small amount for a school project and now don't know what to do with the rest.

Free: dishwasher Hotpoint Aquarius DF61 (Abingdon OX14) Gifted Free-standing dishwasher Hotpoint Aquarius DF61 in working order. Lots of scratches and discolorations on the outside (especially on the sides). Salt dispenser does not seem to dispense salt, and rinse agent dispenser seems to dispense all of it at once - but with the all-in-one tabs that are standard nowadays you shouldn't need either. Drain hose is somewhat squashed in one place, but is not leaking. I took the photo outside because that's where I am doing some final checking and cleaning of the device before giving it away, but it has not been outside for any longer than this one test run. I have actually been using this as my dishwasher until earlier today. The top plate can be taken off easily if you want to fit the dishwasher under a counter.

Free: repost: more top soil (Abingdon OX14) Gifted Someone who has been doing lots of gardening in their life says this is very high quality top soil. I, from a layman's point of view, can only say is that it's dark, heavy, has nearly no weed(s), and needs to go. Pre-packed in 25 rubble bags, each one I'd estimate around 25kg. Photo shows some of the bags, and the identical soil that's still left lying on the ground. We are planning to keep the soil that's not in bags, it's only in the photo so you can admire the nice colour and the lack of weed(s).

Free: irregular double glazed units (Abingdon OX14) Gifted These are from two glazed gable walls, roof slope around 45 degrees. None of them is rectangular, although a couple of them a close, only missing a corner or two. One unit shattered and is missing. (It's safety glass, so these things don't just crack, they disintegrate safely!) The tallest units are about 2.0m high, and they are all about 70cm wide. I was hoping to use them for some creative designs (such as a triangular glass roof), but honestly I don't think I'll have the time. Maybe someone else can do something useful with them?

Free: glass panes from dismantled shed (Abingdon OX14) Gifted Glass panes, 3mm thickness, various sizes: 3 panes of 61.0cm x 61.0cm (24" x 24") 12 panes of 51.6cm x 49.2cm (20.3" x 19.4") 5 panes 51.6cm x 46.5cm (20.3" x 18.1") 3 panes 46.1cm x 43.5cm (18.1" x 17.1") plus a couple of broken panes that are probably not worth taking. Please note that these have sharp edges. Please handle them with gloves, and fully at your own responsibility.

Free: two uPVC windows (Abingdon OX14) Gifted I got those from Freecycle a while ago but ended up not being able to use them, so passing them on now. Two uPVC windows removed from a building (with screws still sticking out), double glazed, with Georgian bars. One window is missing one of those bars, but I am sure that can be replaced. External size including sill (i.e. that's how big your hole has to be): - 122cm wide x 107cm high - 106cm wide x 107cm high Both windows have one fixed panel and one that can be opened.

Free: new carpet off-cut, 2.75m x 1.92m (Abingdon OX14 or Faringdon SN7) Expired This is left over from laying a new carpet. Dark grey colour. A bit deformed from storage, but should be ok when stretched. The piece is mostly rectangular. Three sides are straight, but one is quite jagged from cutting out stair winders. The length is 2.75m. The width at the narrowest part is 1.92m.
