Following the success of our shoe rack perch, I spotted an immaculate Ikea shoe rack in a skip three doors up, so rang the bell and asked if I could have it (didn't have the nerve to "steal" it :oops: ). She was very friendly and actually dug another one out from under the stairs to give me too :shock: .

 

They're in better condition than the one we use for our shoes - guess who's getting the "new" shoe rack and who's getting our current one for a new perch :wink: .

 

I've got plans for a hanging perch with a step ladder :D .

 

Waste not, want not :D . (She'd also thrown out an Ikea storage box like * this * - the bottom fell out of it. Feel like I should pinch that too but can't decide what I'd do with it :roll: .)

Ooh, the box looks fab, like a bathroom bin or laundry basket. It looks paintable too :D Go back and get it, I'm sure you will think of a good use for it.

 

Well done with the skip diving, round here the skips only have rubble in them (not even full bricks), sometimes garden rubbish, like broken fence panels and rotten posts, even good soil, so no point rummaging, as I don't need any of it :(

I was taking ES to rowing at 7.15am and saw a skip lorry taking the skip away :cry: . They must only have hired it for one day :( .

 

Never mind, my mind's been turning over what I can do with the shoe racks (sad, I know :roll: ). I've already swopped mine for hers (I actually think they're almost brand new :shock: . There's not a mark on them :?.)

 

There are 5 "shelves", 4 short legs and 3 long ones - I wish I had a cube run, I could build an adventure playground :( .
