Hello. Look what I found. Yipeeeee. Five polycarbonate sheets found at a conservatory company. They are 9 feet long and 3 feet wide, filthy and need a good scrub. The boss asked for a charitable donation which I was happy to do. Not quite free, but at least they are recycled second hand. I brought them home in my car, with a big overhang at the back end. Again the bleeper was warning me that the luggage compartment lid was not closed. I had the front seats pushed forward and I was driving with my knees wedged under the steering wheel and my head touching the roof. Phew, I made it back without any falling out, good job it's only three miles.
Have a good weekend whatever you are doing. I'll be back with a progress report.
Toodle pip.
Hey there,
ReplyDeleteHow in the world did you manage to carry these long things without "mucking up" your new car? I wish I could have been a fly on the console watching this take place! LOL
It won't matter if it rains cos you will have a roof!
ReplyDeleteGreat find! And for a charitable donation...well worth that. They are going to make fantastic roof panels.
ReplyDeleteMy goodness, what a find! I am trying to picture you driving home. Must have been fun changing gears!
ReplyDeleteI'll bear that in mind when I need some new poly thingies for my cold frames.
ReplyDeleteI just KNEW you would find roofing material for a song and predicted that last week! You were even quicker than I'd imagined..... Janf
ReplyDeleteThey are perfect, you couldn't have done any better. Looking forward to your "roofing" blog post.

I agree! What a find!

ReplyDeleteHow nice!!!!
ReplyDeleteThey are fantastic. What a find!
ReplyDeleteI hope that you didn't have to drive far. My old car used to have a place to tie down the trunk (luggage compartment lid) with a bungee cord, but my newer car doesn't have a place to tie it so, like you, I have to drive with it open when I'm carrying something like a ladder.
Great find and a good project ahead.
