Sounds like our property... But the kids play with it all! Old washing machines lying on their sides make excellent tables for painting etc outside, and get used as the base for all sorts of huts... Whenever I want to make something I can usually find what I need in a pile of junk somewhere. I remember Sarah questioning why I was keeping scraps of building paper when we re-roofed the house, then four years later the kids wanted pirate hats and it turns out black building paper is perfect!
