I have bought a sack truck. The purpose?
Well ... my father's bungalow was flooded in January and much of the furniture has today been confirmed as 'written off' by the insurance company. However, it's only minor damage in every case and the insurers are sending him a cheque. He's upset about them writing it off, along with his jazz collection, so I have a cunning plan.
Enter project "The Recycling Shed".
Outside in the garden is a giant shed built by the previous owners. It once held a large model railway built by someone we know up here in Dewsbury and, now having little in, will host the "written off" furniture until the downstairs is all sorted. We'll then put it back in from "The Recycling Shed" so the house can be sold. Hence the sack truck.
He can then select what he'd like to take with him to a new, much smaller, bungalow and we'll pass the rest on / recycle it properly.
The jazz collection? Well, the vinyls are OK so I'll get him some white blank vinyl sleeves - as suggested upthread by @raleighnut - and a few Sharpie's so his evenings can be occupied
You could also get a combi printer-scanner to reproduce some of the pertinent bits from the original sleeves and fix them onto the plain white sleeves with clear tackyback. Or, if it's not too heretical, use a craft knife on the original sleeves if they are too fubared and likely to be binized, and do the same.
I now know why I haven't been there in several years.
