Being busy with creating the spray booth inside the garage, I have thought of a gazebo on front of it to do most of the dirty dusty filler work.

Yesterday FREECYCLE partially delivered with the ad copied and pasted below........

Scaffolding pipes and fittings to:
BUILD A TEMPORARY CARPORT IN FRONT OF GARAGE.


" I have some scaffolding bits which used to be put together to form a yacht cradle - they supported a 30ft yacht ashore during its winter maintenance. Those days are long gone and the scaffolding needs to go.

It comprises about 20 poles, roughly speaking:

6 off 4m long
6 off 2m long
6 off 1-1.5m long
few other odds and ends

Plus a boxful of clamps to hold it all together, and drawings / photos if anyone wants to use it as a boat cradle for something 20-30 ft long!

There are a load of wooden blocks used to level it and 6 support pads to rest against the hull of the boat.

Anyone welcome to take away whether as boat cradle, scaffolding components or scrap. "

Last night Martin and I went down to Gillingham in his Mondeo ST Estate with roof bars fitted and my Focus to collect all the pipework and fittings.

Took it all home and unloaded, followed by a cuppa tea made by Nicola and Martin delivering Christmas prezzies. One of which he insisted I open there.

Nice big box, not too heavy......hmmmmm??
What could it be??

Industrial ear plugs....... For our trip to the USA next year? His protection or mine?
