Son in Law sanded, primed and coated it with Hammerite black paint....
It's come up beautifully so he lined it and filled it with compost ready to plant up. It would cost a fortune to buy new and another item has been saved from landfill....Win, Win.
On the park where we live it's normal practise to put potentially useful items near the skip so that anyone who wants them can help themselves. A while ago we bought 2 new kitchen bar stools and put the old ones by the skip. Within a couple of hours they had gone. Very little is wasted here!
Have you found anything useful in a skip lately?
Take care and thanks for popping in x
What a brilliant find, it looks really good.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to find something good in a skip, but rarely see one out in the country
What a great find. It looks lovely. Will we get to see it planted up please? X
ReplyDeleteWe found a huge quantity of good quality underlay in a skip. It had been removed from a car showroom/offices. There was enough for my lounge, and hallway/stairs, and it saved me a lot of money.
ReplyDeleteThat's a lovely thing to find, and what a good job your SiL has made of it. People throw out the strangest things.
ReplyDeleteNot many skips here. Usually they are full of earth and rocks. I am on the lookout for an old bath to use as a planter for root veg. My clay soil is not good for carrots etc. One man’s rubbish is another man’s gold. The planter looks fabulous. A great find.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely find. It will look gorgeous when it's planted up.
