OH finally dismantled what remained of the greenhouse today ... the plot looks much bigger, but so empty without it :( :(


Wonder if anyone can make use of it or whether I should just take it to the tip. At least it doesn't take up much space :(


The hedge bonfire pile is ridiculous - there are now 4 enormous piles ... taking up almost a quarter of the plot !! Hope it's dry enough to burn next weekend.

  1. Hasn't it any scrap metal value?

  2. DON'T go to a tip. Find a scrap metal merchant (yellow pages).

    A friend recently took the remains of a caravan to our local metal dealer (aluminium mostly) and got £125 for it.

  4. And always remember what I learnt when repairing holes in rusty old car bodywork - you've gotta make it worse (ie, make the hole bigger by cutting back to bare metal) before you can make it better. Dismantling the greenhouse has made it worse; now you can start to make it better.

    Sorry, simple moralising tales r us!

  6. Scrap merchant you say? Took the remains of mine in down Malin Bridge last year and got the princely sum of £19 for it!

    I spent half that on a jigsaw bit to cut it up to get it in the car prior to that... Couldn't help but wonder why the scrappies bother to go to the effort of nicking the stuff.

    Still if you need to cut it up, give me a shout ;)
