large white woven plastic sack (Builth Wells LD2)
This is too big for me to be able to use - I can make good use of any 'peanut sack' type ones (which have been unfastened by pulling the string) to put kindling in, but this is BIG! It's 69cm x 138cm. Can anyone find a use for it?

internal door (Builth Wells)
Expired
my son brought it back from a job - used and unwanted , but newish, internal door. No lock, but has knob and hinges still attached. It's 68 x 198cm ( 26 3/4" x 78"). It's stored outside, so the sooner it's collected, the better! Unmarked, save for robin droppings... Collect from Builth.

2 shower panels (Builth Wells LD2)
My plumber son's taken these out of a revamped bathroom and knows that I hate things going to waste! He thought someone could make some sort of use of them, inside a building. Otherwise they'll be skipped. One is more or less unmarked. The second has holes where a shower was fitted, and a few screw holes. A VERY light marbling - you have to look hard to see it. Can anyone make use of them for anything?

Free:
cardboard boxes and packing (Builth Wells LD2)
a dozen or so smallish cardboard boxes and assorted plastic / paper packing, ideal for storage or moving.

Request:
large white towels (Builth Wells LD2)
If anyone has any surplus large white bath towels, I'd be very glad of them. A Show guest "lost" three of mine....
18d
Free:
hay (Builth Wells LD2)
possibly about 10 dustbin bags-worth of dry organic hay. The 'no mow' tall grass in my small orchard was strimmed about 3 weeks ago, and is raked up into mini haystacks. It's at the side of my back garden, on the level, in Builth. There's no traffic problems, either. Easily accessible. SUCH a shame not to have it food for some animals! I'd like it gone before it MIGHT rain a little on Saturday / Sunday. Otherwise, eventually, it'll be green-binned.
18d
Request:
plain white single duvet cover (Builth Wells LD2)
Withdrawn
Guest has "lost" one... (HOW?). Just plain white. Ideally, buttoned end, but poppers if they all work!
20d
Free:
three landline phones (Builth Wells)
Withdrawn
Bosch, Panasonic & Commtel landline phones and wires, to go together. All in excellent condition; not used for 12 years. Collect Builth ( I usually get to Presteigne on a Tuesday eve and Clun / Bishops Castle area on a Monday eve.)
32d
Free:
slate crates (Builth Wells)
Gifted
The crates which the slates for my roof came in are now empty and need to go. Good firewood: strong bases! They could do with dismantling to shift. I have no means of moving them, so you'd need a trailer. If you just want a couple, that's fine. Need them gone!
35d
Free:
Dyson DC14 spare belt (Builth Wells)
booklet, still in original plastic, and a spare belt for a Dyson DC14 vacuum. Been sorting out my filing cabinet and found this: no longer have the machine. ( Can send you pic if you give me a mobile number - technology not communicating! ) Collect Builth ( I get to Presteigne on a Tuesday eve and Clun / Bishops Castle area on a Monday eve.)
68d
Free:
3 strong moving boxes & padding (Builth Wells)
Gifted
Three strong cardboard boxes, some 'expanding net' cardboard padding and large sheets of plastic-backed bubblewrap, suitable for someone moving. Phone won't talk to laptop, but I can send a photo from my phone to yours...

Free:
Aucuba japonica bush (Builth Wells)
Aucuba japonica: looks like a laurel; self set; slightly speckled leaves; about 3ft high. In my back garden - you have to dig it out!
76d
Request:
plant pots (Builth Wells)
Received
3" & 4" diameter plastic plant pots, please, for potting on - and ANY size square ones. I've given plants out - and lost all my pots! I have very cramped veg.... Ideally, not a million miles from Builth.

Free:
tiny trees (Builth Wells)
Gifted
My garden's full of tiny self set trees. Unusually, most are hornbeams (which mature will be 60ft high); there's some holly, oak, bird cherry (and quite a few western red cedar). Most are a couple of inches high. I can't leave them where they've come up, but it's such a shame to tear out a small forest. Please, come and rootle them out. I can't kneel down, so you'll have to do that.

Request:
old metal tent frame (Builth Wells)
Received
Does anyone have an old, unwanted rectangular metal frame tent that's gathering dust in a shed or garage? I need the frame only - it's to create a portable pen for hens. The frame simply needs to be all there. Long shot, but hoping....
126d
Request:
small chessmen (Builth Wells)
Expired
Does anyone have an unwanted, complete set of small chessmen? I gave my grand-daughter a chess set, and to my dismay, 3 of the set were missing. Mortified! Ideally, not too far from Builth...

Free:
BIG pallet (Builth Wells)
Gifted
This is 47" x 78.5" [ 119.5 x 199.5cm]. It's close-slatted on one side - it had panels delivered on it. (I'm having trouble uploading photos from my phone, but could send it via WhatApp ) It's on tarmac, leaning up against the side of the house. You'd need a van or a decent sized trailer to collect it. I'm around most of the time.
130d
Request:
old rigid polycarbonate sheets (Builth Wells)
Expired
Rather a long shot, but it's worth asking... If you are upgrading a garden structure, shed, garage or greenhouse which uses 'clear' polycarbonate sheets and you don't WANT the old ones, I'd be very grateful indeed for them. The minimum usable length is 44" - that's 110cm: any width, really. Fingers crossed! Thank you!

Request:
old-fashioned board games (Builth Wells)
Expired
In particular, a stiff board Snakes & Ladders! (The one I have is too flexible and the little 'counters' fall off.) I'm trying to keep my sweet little grandson (5) away from screens. Any board games from the 1950s are likely to be suitable.
170d
Free:
storage crate (Builth Wells)
Gifted
This is made of thin ply, mounted on a small pallet. It's complete; the end is separate, as is the lid. The original polystyrene foam is in it. If you need something to transport / keep a possession in, this may be just the thing - a shame to break up such a useful object. Measures 32cm deep from top to bottom; 49cm wide and 97cm long. Collect from Builth.
175d
Free:
pear tree (Builth Wells)
Gifted
Pear tree needing a new home. I'm re-organising the bottom of my garden, and it's where I want something else to go. Free - but YOU have to dig it up and take it away! It's a "family" tree, created by Paul Davis in Capel Isaac. I THINK the varieties are Beth, Winter Nelis and Louise Bonne De Jersey. I need it gone as soon as possible - any time in the next 7 days and (ideally) this weekend. It was planted in 2006. It's about 6ft tall; possibly a little wider. The trunk is about 4 - 4.5" wide at the base.

single 3ft white mattress (Builth Wells)
Gifted
Single mattress; clean, SOFT. Was kept as a spare 'in case of dozens wanting to stay' but never used. It really IS soft; might be more suitable for a child, or slightly-built adult! Collection from Builth town - easy level access. I just need it gone.

Philips DVD player (Builth Wells)
Gifted
My old [unused for some time] Philips DVD player, DVP3120, has components video output and scart output. No remote, but son says that a universal one would be fine - Tesco or online. My son's just bought me a new one. Hooray!

Request:
waterproof hiking boots (Builth Wells)
Expired
My lovely lodger is going up to Scotland on holiday. He's off on Sunday, and intends to climb Ben Nevis. His budget is £400 for the whole holiday. I'm trying to help him - and make sure he doesn't succumb to hypothermia... He can't afford waterproof hiking boots. Does anyone have a pair that he can borrow till 15th? He's a size 9, so I assume that he'd need a size 10 boot. Similarly, he doesn't own proper hiking trousers [I've forbidden him to wear denim on that climb]. He's a 34" waist, 32" inside leg. Does anyone have some he could borrow? If yes, to either, please contact me URGENTLY!!
312d
Free:
double quilts (Builth Wells)
Gifted
I've treated myself to a very posh new quilt and have therefore got a couple of double quilts to give away. One is thin, the other medium. Smoke and pet free home. [Clean but used! They are washable; the big washing / drying machines behind Links in Builth can take big quilts, by the way!]. Collect from Builth Wells.
318d
Free:
single bed (Builth Wells)
Gifted
Offering on behalf of my elderly neighbours; clean mattress and single bed base with large drawer, which was in their guest room - base and mattress MUST go together. Excellent level access in Builth town. If you'd like it, contact me and I'll give you their phone number.
