    I'm in!

    After all that fussing about with questions, then taking a selection of equipment that I could have taken on Fort Knox with, I was in in about 2 minutes flat

    I levered off the wood that was nailed across the doors, hacksawed the bottom padlock and (as I realised someone had done 90% of the job before ) pulled off the top padlock by hand. That didn't quite get me in, as I discovered the doors were nailed shut but a bit of brute force sorted that.

    Bit of a miscellany inside!

    Useful to me:

    wheelbarrow
    hanging baskets
    Workmate (very old!)
    table
    wood
    screws, nails etc

    Possibly of use to someone else:

    gas bottle
    two hamster cages
    LOTS of odds and ends of paint
    wallpaper
    bits of bike (possibly almost a whole one!)

    Not a lot of use to anyone:

    mouldy curtains
    mouldy carpet
    world's largest spider

    I took some pics but I can't upload them for some reason (not that they are very interesting!!!).

    I was feeling part of the scenery
    I walked right out of the machinery
    My heart going boom boom boom
    "Hey" he said "Grab your things
    I've come to take you home."

        Indianna Jones would love the spider. Was there also a Big ball

                One of the grapes had the shed nicked I seem to remember !!

                Well done seahorse I almost volunteered to come and do it for you it was so enthrauling

                The Gas bottle - I'd see about hanging on to that incase you want to have a gas powered greenhouse heater - is it still worht advertising them to save folks paying the initial deposit??

                Never be afraid to try something new.

                  Don't think I'll want to use the gas bottle - I can forsee far too many scary 'how does this work Mummy?' moments there! If it might be worth something to another plot holder though, I'll have an ask around. I'm not sure if there are any issues re disposing of them (might still have gas in it for all I know!) so someone else taking it would be my best option really!
