dismantling greenhouse what to do with it?
I am dismantling my 10 x 8 old Alton greenhouse this weekend. All glass
is okay but 50% of wood is rotten and needs replacing. Would it be worth asking anywhere if anyone wants it? I can take it to the tip but i suddenly thought there might be someone who could make use of it? If anyone here wants to collect it I'm in Amersham. It does need wood replacing though. -- Janet Tweedy Dalmatian Telegraph http://www.lancedal.demon.co.uk |

Don't lose the glass@ No I try and use special glass Sacha or even that plastic stuff as i am always scared of falling in one or the dogs breaking it. (A friend fell on hers and cut herself badly and the children over the back threw stones on my last glass panes! The glass is from 1980 and seems more fragile than i remember now it's out of its runners. -- Janet Tweedy Dalmatian Telegraph http://www.lancedal.demon.co.uk |

One of those recycling yards might like it. I used some in a previous house to replace old window panes. Greenhouse glass was perfect then because it had slight imperfections in it that matched those of the old windows! -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon (new website online) |

Freecycle is a bit of a pain to join! I just want to advertise the glass etc but first I have had to join yahoogroups, (good grief there's some right twerps on some of those!) and then I have had to APPLY with information about myself AND to justify why I wish to join! All I want to do is offload the glass etc, it's taken me an hour already as they didn't like my ID choices and certainly not happy if I need to put up my biography.... :) -- Janet Tweedy Dalmatian Telegraph http://www.lancedal.demon.co.uk |

The protocol states you should pick up within a very short period, I think around 3 days, and you can always say if your timescale is shorter than that. And you don't have to give it to the first response, so you can go for the person who sounds least likely to mess you around. -- Kay |

The message
from Granity contains these words: I have the same problem, but next month, I think I shall put a card in the village shop window and see if anyone wants it. I'm always willing to accept glass - but Bucks is a bit far to go, and even further back, by public transport... -- Rusty Direct reply to: horrid dot squeak snailything zetnet point co period uk Separator in search of a sig |

writes I have the same problem, but next month, I think I shall put a card in the village shop window and see if anyone wants it. Apparently my application to join High Wycombe free cycle group was denied as i didn't say where I lived (I did!) and /or i didn't give a reason for joining (I Did!) and apparently they can't read what goes on the application so could I redo it in another window and they can't accept applications by email . Then i got a second email saying i was about to be rejected but did i know Chiltern group was nearer to me and I should feel free to reapply. Not likely, .... I only wanted to give away my greenhouse, I didn't realise it would be so contorted to join/offer anything! I'll start taking it down the tip tomorrow, complete with all intact panes of glass! -- Janet Tweedy Dalmatian Telegraph http://www.lancedal.demon.co.uk |
