I just got in touch with my local timber yard via their website about the possibility of saving there off-cuts from lanfill etc, not really expecting much in return other than a 'you're kidding, right?!'   

And I got an email back from the manager saying to "pop in, say hello, and come back every couple of days and take what you want out of the skip" 

FANTASTIC!!! Even if there's nothing 'decent' all is helpful!

Now I got to get building my little girls play house!

Isn't it amazing what a bit of politeness will accomplish? Good for you to hit such a nice jackpot.

Our local TP often has broken slabs and stuff, and when i went to buy some wood once, they said that I could come and grab as much as i needed any time!
lovely chaps

Well, After raiding the timber skip 3 or 4 times, and after having a total computer meltdown, and after having my 20mth old son INSIST on helping me.... I've finally (almost) finished!  :blink:

I know it doesn't look the best but hey - it cost me about £5 for some nails!!! 



Have to admit though, as I was building the thought of the amount of chickens I could keep in it crossed my mind a fair few times!   

I can't upload any pics though all too big...
