on the scrounge,

[ianrobbo1]

w;;v As one or two of you may know, I'm in the process of building a garage to house my P&J,

but, I'm short of a double glazed window, and cash, so if anyone has a window knocking about doing nowt, and wants to donate it or sellit cheaply, that is for {very} little cash, cos I'm bloody skint trying to do the job properly, :blush:

Right'ho, send on the silly comment's, cos I'm sure one of you nice people will come across with the goods, :bow:

 

[Bob Pinder]

Seriously................

Have you visited your local dump, just take some folding stuff and negotiate yourself a bargain

 

[shropslad]

what size you after

approx,,,,,,, openers etc,,,,,, we got loads in our sin bin ( place for mis-measures )

long way to go though for a window.,,,,,, you could try your local window company see if they have any mis-measured windows. just an idea.

 

[Bob Pinder]

Ian

Do you need an up and over door?

 

[ianrobbo1]

amazed but greatful lads, :bow: I have tried my local ''tip'' but they employ a ''jobsworth'' who won't be ''persuaded''
I'm going for the ''barn'' type doors, with no back or side door, for security,
Bob, thank's for asking, I'd have the problem of getting something that big up here, :xm
Shrops I'm delivering in grimsby to a window company ''on the morrow'' so I'll give your suggestion a try, :bow:
though, over this way, they tend to be better at measuring thing's, :}
thanks again, I'll let you all know how I get on,

 

[ianrobbo1]

well I've been to sunny Grimsby, asked at the window company and they want ?40 quid for a mis measure, so I had a look in their skip and spotted one that would do ''very nicely thank you'' the twat in charge pop's up and told me I couldn't have it unless I paid ?40 for that one as well,!!
so peeps I'm still ''on the scrounge''
footing's half dug now, bloody skip is now blocking my driveway, so the cage will probably be missing in the morning, :bang:

BTW I went back later and the yard was locked up, :xm bloody mind readers, :bang:

 

[shropslad]

Phookin rob dogs

Offer them a tenner,,,,,,, as for the one in the skip,,,,,, they should be gratfull you are emptying it for them,,,,,, when I think of how many I've chucked away :bang:

rough sizes please,, & openers & I'll see what I can do

 

[Stuey]

Orders to shropslad

I need one for my new shed aswell,
White, Rehau, 900mm wide, 600mm high, stub cill, top opener, 200mm drop, K glass, silver spacer, white handle, T/V.

Stuey

 

[shropslad]

Stuey,

Is that 200mm drop to the centre of the transon ? & you sure you don't want that unit filled with Argon gas ?,,,,,,, also is it shoot bolts or Espags on the opener :neenaw:

 

[Fat Bert]

Now we've started Shrops~~

Any chance????

 

[ianrobbo1]

:bow: cheers for the offer Shrop's,
anything around 35 inches high by 40/47 ish, inches wide, I'm certainly not bothered about opening's or owt like that, :bow:
I'll be greatfull for what I can get, :blush:

that last bit could have been made for Bert,!!

 

[Supabird1100]

Just a thought Ian......does it have to be a double glazed unit ?? I could draw you up a plan for a timber built window frame if you give me the sizes and you could construct it from 4"x2" and weather-treat it.

I've done a few shed and conservatory window frames using timber and they hold up quite well......materials shouldn't come to more than about ?30'ish, depending on size.

Steve

 

[shropslad]

[ianrobbo1]

cheers Shrops, looks like a ''good'' drink for you, :bow:

thanks for your input Gyppo m8, I just knew it would be you that had ''something'' to say, :f

appreciate the offer Steve, but it really want's to be double glazed, to go with the other two I've already got, my ''ol dear'' is giving me one she had knocking around :dunno: dont ask!!!and a mate had one left over from when he knocked his shed down, ''they double glaze the shed's oop here,''

 

[ianrobbo1]

I once went to the local timber/glass merchant for something.

A chap was there before me, wanted a piece of glass about this big (holds his hands out in front of himself)

I need to know the exact size, said the guy behind the glass cutting table.

Anything around this size will do, says him again with hands out in front of him again.

Sorry, I need the sizes to be able to cut it. Whats it for?

Its for a window

Then you need to give me the size, otherwise it won't fit.

Yes it will he said, I've not made the frame yet! :} :} :}

 

[shropslad]

Had a quick look

they have some 600mm high by 1000 wide full width opener, brand new never been fitted,, ?40 seems to be the going rate,,,,,, will have another look tommor, & let you know.

 

[ianrobbo1]

cheers Shrops, eee I`m reet lookin forward to this garage, :bow: I`ll post some pictures as it`s going up, :blush:

 

[shropslad]

Had another look

Found one that is approx 1200 X 1200,, one top opener all double glazed brand new mis-measure still wrapped up ?50 is the asking price,,,,, let me know if you want it.
