Couple of drain rods (plumber’s snake) (Barnard's Green WR14)
These are long, 20 foot plus, because I have a really long internal drain run in out kitchen which periodically gets blocked. You can see from the photo that both of these have got kinks, at around the 2.4m mark, so they won’t be much use for distances beyond that. Only after I had kinked these two did I get the hang of long distance rodding..

Plastic foliage (Barnard's Green WR14)
Rescued from a bonfire. Was originally on a garden trellis I think. Individual sprigs that can be threaded on to wire. I was going to use them to thread into natural foliage decorations to add colour, but have been vetoed by my spouse. Anyone out there who can save them and make use?

Mirror (Barnard's Green WR14)
Dusty from storage, but would clean up. The mirror glass is good

Two substantial cabinet doors (Barnard's Green WR14)
A couple of doors which I salvaged from a bonfire a few months ago. They are fire doors, as witness the channels running round the outside where intumescent strips were fitted. I saved them because they are such good solid bits of timber. Roughly 80 x 60 cm and 90 x 64. Would make good solid alcove shelves for instance if cut down.

Two traditional dining chairs - 1930s/40s? (Barnard's Green WR14)
Expired
Inherited from my mum, who inherited them from her parents. I’m guessing at the vintage, but they are solid and well made. They have been re-covered, and as you can see even that is looking shabby now, and one of the seats is giving way underneath. But the frames are good. I am sad to part with them but they are no longer needed by my daughter who has looked after them until now… a project for someone?

Air fryer (Barnard's Green WR14)
Gifted
Made by Tower, no longer produced I don’t think. Given to me, was in use by previous owner, but I don’t think I will use it. The tray bit does work but needs a bit of care because two of the three screws that hold the handle on have come adrift, reason being that the plastic lugs they screw in to have come off- see picture. If you were bothered, it might be repairable with that epoxy putty stuff.

Heavy duty hinges (Barnard's Green WR14)
Gifted
I have eight pairs of these hinges. If you Google Eclipse 4” hinges it looks as if they are readily available so you can see the specification online. Looks like they are designed for fire doors, which would fit because I salvaged them from some heavy fireproof cupboard doors which were delivered to our community bonfire pile. Not huge doors, so won’t have had the weight of a full size door on them. Would prefer that they go to someone actually looking to use them rather than for attempted sale. Some screws salvaged as well but not the full quota.

DAB radio (Barnard's Green WR14)
Gifted
Made by Pure, model D240, probably about 13 years old. Has an alarm, and all the settings and display are fine, but there is a faint rumbling bass-note even when not in use. I’m guessing that’s there is some component that has failed and that there might be a boffin at the repair cafe who might know but I haven’t gone down that route. But I would be very pleased if someone else would..

Caraway seeds (Barnard's Green WR14)
Expired
About a third of a packet, just bought. Our jar isn’t big enough for them all and we don’t use caraway very often. A shame to throw them away…

Tent poles (Barnard's Green WR14)

Sectional, slot together with cord down the middle. Not flexible a la pop-up tents. I think they are intended for replacing broken poles

Freestanding shelves, old but serviceable and well-made. They measure 1 m wide by 18 cm deep by 1.07 m high. The depth of the top shelf is 32 cm, then 23 and the next two down are roughly 20 cm high each.

Small drawers/cupboard (Barnard's Green WR14)
Expired
Here is a small unit consisting of two drawers with a cupboard beneath, rescued by my daughter from a pavement in Bristol. It’s clearly been made a while ago and like a lot of older furniture, is pretty solidly made. Nice wooden handles. As you can see from the picture, on the top the veneer has peeled off in a patch, but if someone has the enthusiasm to renovate it, this could either filled, sanded and repainted. Last time I advertised something like this, there were quite a few people who responded only after I had already agreed to let the item go, so this time I will leave it up a while before I answer.

Two anglepoise-style lamps (Barnard's Green WR14)

Both a bit old and battered but they both work. Would prefer them to go to someone who will use them rather then try and sell them on, so if you are interested in both please let me know why…
