Anyways, the guys ripping it out left the old square aluminium water tank outside ready to take to the tip/weigh it in. I asked if I could have it and happy days!!!! Getting painted black this weekend and I'm turning it into a Lovely big square planter!! A large ally planter for free, merry Christmas me! :dancy:

        Will do Jenny. It's languishing in the front, all in its naked form at the mo. I'll paint it black and take a photo by the weekend. No plants to put in it at the moment as I'm as skint as a skint thing in skint land at the mo. farver Christmas might bring me some plants or vouchers though!
