Unwanted building materials and misc stuff needed:
I am looking for any unwanted second hand building materials to build extra housing for my rescued ducks, and for the domestic egg laying ducks who's eggs support the rescued ducks.
The following sorts of things would be useful if you have any you don't want:
* Kitchen lino, large pieces (room size) any colour or style, to use as flooring for ducks in wheelchairs.
* Clamshell plastic paddling pools and similar
* Screws especially self tapping square or phillips type 32mm or longer used is fine as long as they can be reused.
* Wire fencing, wire netting, chicken wire
* Warratahs etc
* Plywood, old doors or old windows in wooden frames
* Metal brackets, braces supports, flat/straight or corner etc to join or brace wooden sections
* Planks of wood
* Polythene clear plastic, including the thickish clear plastic that you often find as part of the packaging on new furniture, beds, etc
* Thick plastic sheeting, any colour, to use to build temporary shelters for ducks, cover duckling runs in bad weather, and cover hay and wood shavings.
* Waratahs all lengths
* Any other items that might be useful to build a duck house
* Or unwanted artificial grass/Astro turf, or grass green carpet!
* Linen, particularly towels, quilts, blankets, etc
* Also if anyone has an old automatic washing machine they no longer need, it would be outdoors used to wash towels and other linen used for ducklings, so wouldn't matter if it had like small leaks etc as long as all functions (wash, spin, drain water) worked.
* And if anyone has any duck weed in their streams or pond, or reeds/Bullrushes or flaxes /grasses they don't want, to plant round my duck pond.
