So what's on this fence then?

Tuesday 19 June - Sadly a bare fence again

It's an angle grinder.

Ironing board loses fight with Black & Decker
It lived fast and died young. I wasn't here to see it, but was told that as the sparks flew, it struggled heroically, and stayed on the fence until the last second. It had its new friend, the iron next to it too (also gone - your useless Fencemaster failing to get a picture yet again).
I imagine a scene reminiscent of the end of 'Titanic'. Maybe not. Either way, I am sad now.

Monday 18 June 2001 - Ironing board goes live fence-side

We have lift off!
What a lovely morning for a situationist art project/Internet site launch. Your Fencemaster got up ludicrously early today and left home at 5am to be sure of working unimpeded. As I said earlier, ironing boards aren't generally made with security in mind, and this one is no exception, so I don't know how long it will be with us.

I brought the balloons up yesterday, not wanting to disappoint Mrs Fencemaster who bought them. I had to leave them outside in bin bags with the rest of the rubbish near the fence I am not allowed to lock my bike too. Imagine my surprise as I drove round the corner to see a Rubbish Lorry doing a collection - at 7 o'clock on a Sunday evening! Don't worry though, the balloons were still there this morning.

Somebody owes me £16 for the locks.

The sign said nothing about ironing boards on the railings.


Pandemonium

A disappointing saucepan from Asda
The saucepan was £3.79. I was distressed to note that the handle had been ripped off on the same day it went on the fence.
It looks a bit rubbish and being dark green is a poor follow up to the yellow saucepan (below).

You wouldn't let it fry

A lovely yellow frying pan
It was about £3.50 from Wilkinsons. I left the labels on. A quick center punch and drill later, I was easily able to get the padlock (A Buffo, from Woolworths, about £2.50) right through the middle.

It's a jungle out there

A copper lion
99p well spent. It didn't last for long though, after about four days on the fence all that's left was the padlock. I imagine it was souvenier hunters.

Sawn-off

Some cutlery - here's a handyman sawing it off
I didn't even get time to take a picture of it. There were three items all locked on with one padlock. A ladle, a spoon, and a spatula. They were all silver and sparked pleasantly in the sun. Here's the handyman Howard De Walden Estates (or their manging agents) send round to attend to such things. He's an old boy and only has a little hacksaw.

A watched pot

The first thing on the fence
It hadn't occured to me to take a photo of it on the fence. it was on for a week, mounted via a padlock through holes I drilled in the spout. I didn't do a great job and it disappeared.

I put a sign up saying 'Where's my kettle? I want my kettle back' and it reappeared by the fence the next morning.
