In the middle of clearing out the loft and tucked right under the eaves was this - does anyone know if it is a genuine Nikon box or aftermarket? Click here to comment on this image. Perfect size for my D610 and 70/300   Click here to comment on this image. |

Looks like the style of box Nikon sold. I dont think that it is complete as there are no dividers. I dont know what might have been in there originally. Did you find the camera and lens inside? |

No - it was empty! I have the dividers and the original key - took them out to fit the camera + lens in  |

Not little - it is HUGE - sifting through it will take months .... a peep from each end - the "bays" are full of boxes, each one needs to be gone through!  Click here to comment on this image.  Click here to comment on this image. |

Lockdown clean out! The cantilever box has my Canon XL1S video cam in it - that is one heavy beast but takes excellent video. |

We had a complete new roof installed before 1st lockdown. I took the opportunity to clear out the loft the quick way...out over the A frames down to ground level skip. Lol And it was fresh air instead of a dark, dusty, insulation coughing experience. |

I am a bit worried about completely emptying the loft - I am sure the weight was all that held the roof on in the 1987 October gales |

Update on loft activity, still got a few more shelves to put in but at least I can walk from one end to the other! Buried in here were my cine projector and films from 50 plus years ago - have had some fun watching these  Click here to comment on this image. |

Wow, very good work. Thinking of moving? |

No - it was just in serious need of sorting out - so much stuff had been put up there because it wasn't wanted cluttering up the house - the dustman has had a strenuous few weeks carting away bag after bag of recycling paper & card and unrecyclable hard plastic toys etc. |
