Tools need to be really clean apparently. No sawdust, mud, grime etc...
I'm taking the easily cleanable ones and giving the old dirty ones away. (power tools) Alison x |

I think he'd have put a lot more in there but it wasn't something he'd considered doing until I suggested it.

Re: Shippers coming!
Hi,
anybody who as already shipped, can u help me. we've not got many things from the garden to put in container, 2 large plant pots...never been used, and an iron parasol base, which has a bit of rust on it. Is rust ok? The push bikes also ave a bit of rust on them.(from being in a damp shed and lack of use, which we hope to change) Got other things from the garden but thier all cleaned up and ready to go. Thanks Hayley |

Re: Shippers coming!
We were also told, by Crown, that rust isn't a problem - just give everything a clean.

Still to do: Some outside stuff and shed (mostly empty now). I can't believe how fast they did it all. :eek: They recon 3 hours tomorrow morning and then the container arrives for loading. |
