It was an unusually grey and wet morning and I decided to clean the shed (= continue searching for a small milky white nylon gland that I dropped on to the concrete floor yesterday) but my 'diligence' was disturbed by a flash of colour through the window. Looking for ANY excuse to get up off my knees, I got up, grabbed my coffee and went out on the verandah....

.... to enjoy the company. After finishing my coffee I had a blinding flash of clarity and made a NEW nylon gland for my spray gun....... but it was too wet to paint so I made another coffee?

I think I like you
On topic, that kaizen foam tool drawer is a thing of great beauty. I'm not sure I could live with it though - I'm continually moving tools from shed to garage to office depending on need ... having a permanent cut-foam reminder that they weren't in place would kill me lol. Or force me to neaten up. Hmmm.

I know what you mean Moph. I have a builder mate who obviously MUST take his tools to site. He walks into my shed, looks at the tools in their organised places, stands there with his arms folded, a faraway look on his face, takes a deep breath...... and reaches for the kettle or bar fridge depending upon the time of day.
I have to hang a refurbished door at a daughter's place next week.....

..... and I can guarantee that the tool I need when things don't go to plan, will be safe and warm in its special place in the shed. I once floated a plan to put together a Takeaway Tool Kit (TTK) but it was just seen as a cunning plan to acquire more tools, and probably was

Ah how times have changed it used to be one man one tool kit portable for those distant jobs down the road over the hill or in the next town. Men were seen carrying tool bags on buses and trains heading out to build the suburbs.
Now days its a dual cab ute with fully kitted trailer and similar tools stored in home workshop.
The retired hobby shed is full to the brim no longer a leaky tin shack in the corner of the yard but a super sized shed better than many old day factory sheds. These are kitted out wonders which show the status of the owner from historical tools to newest on the block.
I long for the days when a jigsaw, hand saw hammer drill did many a renovation made many an item in wood and steel. Then again i long for the days when I could haul/carry a 1800x2mx19mm sheet of ply or mdf also LOLLast edited by wheelinround; 31st March 2017 at 10:07 AM. Reason: add word

Damn.
Ian's post has just prevented me from saying anything about my three sided, sod floored, leaky roofed shed that's cold in winter, hot in summer and very windy for 364 days a year. Consequently I won't dwell on the hordes of insects .

Well I still don't have a shed a double garage I do. In years gone by I have worked in the back yard, kitchen, lounge room a 3x3 garden shed single garage, cattle shed of FiL's.
I still yearn for machines way out of my budget that bosses and companies I worked for wouldn't buy that employee's could have done work faster with.
Poor never life has far more to offer for FREE.
Thank goodness I lost my Geordie accent long long ago. Fletty does do an excellent Yorkie one tho.
