That's what the other shed is for. Understood but I was asking if you knew what they would do with it/them once in the shed(s)? I mean. if they had the idea of burying them with sand, will they just entomb them in concrete in the shed(s) or is there stuff to salvage (torpedoes / mercury etc)?

We were considering a 'computer desk' being offered on Freecycle and the offerer didn't have a rule, so just kept saying stuff like "Std Office size" when we asked for even rough sizes. If it wasn't for the fact it was very local, she needed it out quickly and the dump was on our way home we went and got it unmeasured. Even '4.5 lengths of A4 paper long by 3 high' would have given us a pretty good idea what to expect. T i m |
