Whats your best freebie? - job related

[Darkwood]

Just viewing some new premises for a customer moving factory, went with landlord just to get visuals up on the existing electrics and was evident their used to be a engineering firm of some nature in before as a few bits and bobs lying around.... i asked what hes doing with it all to which he replied "skip" and said if i find owt i can have it........

Roll on the freebies as i got a Safety light guard collector and emitter (SICK) unit still as good as new plus a few droppings of pidgeon s...t, well you cant argue at that possibly looking at 800 quids worth been 900mm long :stuart:, not every little earner is as rewarding as this for doing fricken nothing.

Maybe not the best but the thing I was most pleased about getting was the old Clare PAT that I started a thread about.

Made my day that did.:stuart:

I got given 3 plug in Infra Red heaters (brand new in the box) the other day, customer said she'd had them for a while and would probably never use them.
Not amazing but they'll come in handy for somewhere.

I worked on Buckingham Palace for NG Baileys (kitchen refurbishment and new portrate gallery
prior to starting work we had to do a shut down twice over a weekend to remove lead armoured cables
(4 hour shut down on the saturday and again on sunday)

we stripped out all the cable thinking that if this was any other site ......

Police, army and guns all over the place.

the clerk of works said we had did a great job and gave us a chit for all the scrap )))

I think my end was about £600

and Baileys paid us full shifts for Saturday and Sunday for working 2pm until 6pm each day

by the way I was working until 1pm on each day on Portcullis House.

Basically I got paid twice for Saturday, twice for Sunday and got a share of the scrap

those were the good old days

Recently, a brand new bread maker , and an oil panitng, this one here, but not a print, the real thing:
Skyline II - Hans Paus Posters - Easyart.com

The bread maker was a Christma present they didnt want asked me to throw it away with the other waste I had, the painting was on the floor when I fitted a few sockets, i said that's a nice painting, she replied she didnt like it , and it was being thrown out! So, i had it. I have since told her it may be worth something, so if I ever do sell, i'll be going halves, but I like it, so probably wont sell.
