Ah money for nothing.

Rescue stuff from a skip. Incur petrol costs, hours of sanding down, spray painting, more costs selling, more petrol, manhours excluded and then with a flourish , back to the original person dumping to present a “ profit” of £30 which is actually a loss of £300 .

Oh forgot to mention that the five legged table painted like a cow that no sane person would buy was sold to a “friend”.

Rubbish programme . Tat.

I agree. You'd have to be a particular type of tosser to part with hundreds of pounds for an upcycled garden gate.

There's a Place Next to Birkdale station, that does Up cycling.
I quite like a bit of that, but my wife dragged me in, to look at a dinning table and chairs.

I starred and starred and then said.

"Remember my Nan's dinning table that she gave us, and you didn't like? That we couldn't sell, and we gave to my sister who has it 20 years later ?  Well that's Identical "

Wife : "Oh....yes.....It would appear to be...do you think your sister would give it back?"

oh how we laughed.

Suppose they want an "arm and leg" for it too.

Like in that aforementioned show, Money for Nothing?  Sometimes that is all the "craftsman" is given, and he/she produces a £500 gem out of it!!
