Coming back from the shops on Saturday morning I was able to lay some off-cuts from a skip over the top of my shopping trolley. Then, when I reached the old factory where now artists live and work ,one of the big rubbish bins had off-cuts in, so I grabbed one piece - having no room for more.
Once there was some nice wood left outside the old factory and I went home with my trolley, unloading my stuff, going into my neighbour's with her stuff and unloading that, chatting to her, getting the cheque. Then 3/4 an hour later I went back up the road to find someone else had taken the wood.
This time it was down the road, quickly unloaded my shopping and back the road again - less than10 minutes. But the wood had gone! One of the bins was now closed and I couldn't open it. Did this bin still contain the wood?
However I did get one piece from another skip at the end of the road. There were long lengths of nice wood on the scaffolding on the house which the skip was outside. So this evening when I got home I went up to see what was in the skip - four good length pieces - nearly 3 evenings' worth of burning!
I checked the bin outside the factory just in case.
I've a lot of sawing up to do, but a good addition to my wood stash in one weekend.
But I still wish I had not missed out on those extra bits!
