Now what do you think I can make out of these which will be very useful around the garden?

Could be damaging to the environment but I could wait until the wind is blowing towards Newbridge and send the carbon particles your way!

look will you not be stressing yourself out and just bin them or nail them to the roof for spares.

You don't get it. I have thought of a great use for these free offcuts that will save me a good few bob and others too when I show you what I will turn them into. I was just teasing to see if anyone else comes up with the same idea.

why didnt you say I thought you were serious, Ok when you dig a trench for holding water in your garden due to water tax, they can act as small sluice gates for holding back the water.

Like that monstrosity of a hedgehog up your way Sive?
No again, this has a practical garden use and pricy enough in the garden centres, approx. €1-50 each.

Yaaaay. Give that man a prize. Off you all go now to your local fascia and soffit man and ask for the offcut waste and get yourselves a jigsaw and away you go. Plant labels for nothing and for life thanks tagwex.
They are cut offset so as I can get two rather than one out of the same length, I need 50 or 60 of these next week so I started to think what could I get hold of for nothing that I could adapt and use. You are a wise old sage greengage.

Very good.

But I don't like them off-centre. Why can't you do them normal-like?

I know that they are not near as fancy as yours but they are practical and free. The explanation was in the post, "They are cut offset so as I can get two rather than one out of the same length," If the spike ran up the middle I would only get one at 300mm long, having them offset I get 2 from 380mm. Simples.

Tagwex, Do you mind if I ask you something? Do you get out and about much?
