101 uses for an office desk

101 Uses For is popular and let's hope it stays that way. Our second book is presently called 101 tips for self sufficiency; we will certainly dip into this section for ideas. So post away and let's try and get at least one thread up to 101.

Hi Millie
Here is a photo of two desks, one on top of the other. Image

I think the section for the drawers would be ideal as nesting boxes. We have the drawers as well so perhaps you could put one in the bottom to stop the bedding falling out.

I will pm you the location. You could collect any time up to the end of August. If I know you (or any other isher) wants some, I will put them to one side.

Cheers
Zoe

Can you attach more of the drawer units underneath?

(i'm thinking about small animal mansions again...)

Hi Fee
Sorry, I've just realised I haven't replied to this. I have been so busy at work I haven't had a chance to take any more pics. They are basically wooden boxes with runners for two drawers: one large and one small.

The main problem would be getting one to you from here.

Cheers
Zoe

Have you tried asking the local church? They often act as go-betweens for needy people who wouldn't have internet to know about freecycle.

Shame you are so far away... I'd take a few off your hands - the one my goats had disintegrated last year, and I could do with one for the (future) hens, too!

Well we discovered just how easy it is to break them up. A great way to get rid of agression :lol: With the wood separated from the metal they can easily be recycled :mrgreen:
