Title: I like Wombling !
Post by: Ken T on 06 January 2012, 22:30:53

At work the service dept were told to have a clean out. So they did, and filled several stillages full of stuff. I managed to score a Netgear 16 port Hub, 3 industrial LCD PC's for panel mounting (one brand new still in box, never used  :P ), a couple stepper motor drivers, a large stepper motor, drills, files and .............. various other bits and pieces.

And you know in a few weeks they are going to want bits that they just threw out, and will have to buy them again, if they can still source them.

I like clean outs  :y :y :y

No, I am saving the Company money. They would have to pay to have the skip taken away, I am doing them a financial service.





Er that's my excuse   ;D ;D ;D



Plus if they want the bits back they can always get them from me, via Ebay  ;D

That is cool. I never pass a skip without having a look in. It's amazing some of the stuff people throw out, I've had big heavy duty hose reels, tools, wire rope, garden stuff, nuts and bolts, a key press, doors, metal, all sorts, it's for winners!
