Tuesday, 13 August 2013  Free Bed from Gumtree  I managed to get
a free white bed on Gumtree.  I was looking at single beds and I
was thinking I would have to paint one as I wanted it white. 
Then I found a free white one.  The advert said it needed work,
but as it wasn't far away I decided to grab it. This is an after
pic above.  The nice people giving the bed away showed me and it
had a lot of stickers on it.  It was also a bit broken in one
area.  It is not made of wood but medium density fibre board or
particle board or something.  This means it isn't very strong
and where it had  hardware screwed into it it had broken.  The
screws could no longer grab onto anything and it was all fibres
hanging out.  Daddy P fixed this with builder bog.  Builders bog
is a filler but it is two parts which means it is epoxy based
and much stronger than usual filler. Here is a picture of the
stickers. I wasn't worried about getting the stickers off.  I
think there are a few ways to get them off but the way I like to
do it i
