Already dismantled, should fit in an estates boot or van.

Approx 8 foot by 10 foot I think. All glass is here as well.

Free of charge, buyer collects,a small donation to Help for Heroes would be nice but not a requisite as I want it gone.


In Tring, Herts.

I'll get back to you. Just happen to be down that way on Sunday, but work schedules might be a bit of a problem.

I'd be there, unfortunately though, I'll be working close on 40 hours Fri-Sun, driving 650 plus miles, and am no where near you this week.

I've bookmarked this email though, as I'm all over the country with work, something may pop up in the next few weeks.

I may be able to get somebody to meet you at mine on Sunday if that helps?

Sorry OP!

Sorry OP!
Looking at the schedule it'd be evening, at the very earliest. Don't make plans, the nature of my job is that it's all a bit last minute, and I may not be able to make it at all. I'm not likely to have a better idea until Thursday, and won't have an accurate time until I've finished on Sunday. Obviously that's a major pain for you (probably), so like I say, don't plan anything. If I think I can do it, I'll be able to give you a rough ball park time on Thursday. If that suits, great, if not, fine.

Nobodyknows, I'll be finishing at Sandy Park Stadium at around 17:30 ish, give or take 15 to 30 minutes, but doubt it'll be much earlier.

Is that convenient or not for you? Don't worry if it's not, no doubt I'll be back in town at some point. Will it fit in an estate car?

OP, there's a possibility I'll be passing (roughly, probably on the M1 or M40) at some point in the next few weeks. Does that suit, or are you looking at shifting it sooner?

I'm not playing either of you off against each other, I'll take both if circumstances allow us to liase at convenient times.

Is that 17.30ish on Sunday? It may fit in an estate car, I moved it in a Ford Galaxy & it fitted in there no problem at all! My house is 5mins away from Sandy Park.

Sorry, yes. Was a long day yesterday, culminating in a flat tyre at 02:00, and I'm still not properly recovered.

I've a V70, should be big enough hopefully!

If you're wanting to get rid of stuff, I've found Freecycle to be very good - most people turn up, most stuff goes pretty fast, even bizarre things like a single large marrow and difficult things (old sofas etc.). The aim was to avoid landfill. Only rule is that it must be free.
Greenhouses should be easy, though advertising them at the beginning of a warm weekend in March would be optimal.

Apart from an old melamine coffee table and a bag of limelite, the only thing I couldn't shift was about a metre of subscriber's issue EVO magazines - I suppose there is a disconnect between a recycling movement and 600hp V10s..

First of all, thanks Nobodyknows, greenhouse made it back more or less in tact , I lost 3 panes of glass on the trip, which I thought was alright, considering I hadn't thought to bring anything to pack it all with. Car is a little grubby inside mind you....

And Turn7, the greenhouse I just picked up was 8X6, and just fitted inside the car. Yours might not, so I'd have to dig out my roofrails, but as said, I'll shout when I'm passing and if it's still available, hopefully will call in.

Donations are going to the local Scout/Guide HQ, since that's who both me and the OH support (she's a Guide leader, mad if you ask me, but keeps her busy).

Didn't realise how overgrown it was until I got home & saw the state of my drive!

Yeah, sorry. Would have swept up, but there wasn't a brush available. Mind you, I think I brought most of the soil and undergrowth home with me!
