Came a knock at the door......
« on: March 24, 2004, 18:24:11 »
So there we were, enjoying out Spicy Pumpkin soup and home made bread, when came a knock on the door. It was our local Scrap metal man, an old timer with whom we have had dealings in the past. "Sorry!" says I, "We have no scrap for you today, you cleared it all last time!"
"No!" says he, "I have something for you, if you are interested."
We went to look on his lorry and there was a pair of metal frames which when put together make up 2 hexagonal gazebo/summerhouses.
"Do you want them? £20?"
Deal done and they were off loaded.
Measured them up today, bit of a snag, when constructed the gazebo will be 140 inches wide. (11ft 8ins or 3m 50cm).
Finding somewhere to put them may be a leetle complicated. And they are only frames, so they would still need cladding. Ah well, a reasonably pleasant matter upon which to ponder.

isn't that about the size of the complete houses they build now on old allotment sites?
