For
those of you that don’t know there has been a 30 foot caravan rusting
away in our back garden for about the last 20 years, this was then
filled with computer parts and other electronic bits from about
1995. (By me and a couple of other mates who shall remain nameless!)
After
most of the computer parts were quickly outdated by today’s current
fast markets I was left with a big project of emptying it and then
disposing of the rusting carcass. (Which could no longer be towed
out as we now have a 6 foot wall where 20 years ago there was a
gate and the tow hitch would probably come
off due to how rusty it was after all that time exposed to
the elements.)
However
it was fun and also worth recycling the aluminium as I got £100
for that (@50p a kilo) but unfortunately the rest had to go in a
15 yard skip, there goes my £100! Anyway after a lot of blood, sweat
and beers I have finally dismantled the caravan and reclaimed some
garden, it looks a whole lot better for it!
