Chiantishire


A mate of mine offered yesterday to dispose of a cooker for a lady in Hall End and wanted me and Hay for assistance - me for muscle and Hay to apprise said cooker. 

Well, it's just as well Hay came along, as this lady had the most wonderful garden and Hay was in paroxysms of delight.






A Hobbit house, dragon sculptures (she's Welsh), willow archways, ponds - you name it. It must have cost a fortune to create and she's only lived there 8 years. She does has a gardener though.

Said cooker was an ironically named Baumatic Royal Chiantishire dual fuel job. We decided it could be cleaned up and flogged for a few hundred, so I made a start on it.


It's amazing what some wheel cleaner concentrate can do on baked-on oven grime and rubbing compound transforms stainless steel - car cleaning products are so versatile. Someone is flogging one that needs cleaning on Facebook Market for £450 and this one will be spic and span.
