Tazio Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 My living room window has been creaking quite alarmingly. Luckily I can only hear it when the wheelie bins stop banging off the wall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tazio Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Just heard a loud bang from the front garden. Both of my wheelie bins which sit against a 4ft high wall had been blown straight in the air and were blowing up the street. So I had to retrieve them and could barely drag them back. Now I’m looking for something to tie them down. It’s absolutely wild outside now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heartsfc_fan Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Grim. I lost quite a few ridge tiles during the high winds 2 days after Xmas. Roofer is booked but obviously can't work in these conditions. Neighbour at bottom of garden has just lost a few of their ridge tiles and quite a few lying in my garden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tazio Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 (edited) So this is the wall that the wheelie bins were blown over. They were sitting tight against it so must have been blown straight up in the air. Oddly they’re both now empty so Christ knows where the contents are. Both now attached firmly to the main down pipe on the front of the house with a very strong steel wire and a bike lock. It’s as windy as I can remember and certainly the first time in 8 years in this house the bins have ever been blown away.
