Thread: What Lives In Your Shed

The two pups, aka the site supervisor (Arnie) and the site safety officer (Tara). The F up fairy is definitely alive and well in the shed as well. The usual company of bugs try to survive in the shed as well

The smaller one on the right is a regular, although she's on maternity leave at the moment.
The Larger one was the perpetrator (as it were)

They're great. Nice to see the native animals coexisting with us, not sure I would like the red bellied black snake in my shed though

Here's the Sydney version of the shed dwelling Gecko.

I found this one when dismantling an aluminium garden shed that's being replaced with something a little more useful.

He's well camouflaged on the rock.

I have a little dark brown mouse that lives in my shed. It is useful for keeping SWMBO out of my shed.

An update. I have another shed dweller. Little Lucy, an RSPCA pound puppy wormed her way into MBGitW's heart.

So now I have to put up with a 4 month old puppy, whom is quickly learning to keep from under my feet and to enjoy chewing the offcuts strewn throughout the shed

snakes yep joe blakes in in me shed

was but 2 of them before this year went to shyte... now I KNOW theres a whole bloody fambly of the buggars out there!!! ... and under the seatainer next to it... and under the 4ft high grass next to it ... and well mmm snakes are taking over Dingo Creek!!!

spiders too... by the thousands!!!

oooh theres a nest of some sort in the far corner dont know if the birds are still there cause I dont go in there much anymore could be I guess unless the snakes figured out a way to slither up a shed roof

yeah a bit of wild life out there for sure... me Id LOVE to see the f... up fairy back at work in there

One thing I hate in my shed is the mud wasp. Every hole has to be plugged and it's a bugger to get the clay out of threaded holes. Even a bit of rag left for some time ends up with a mud wasp in it.

I know there's a tiger snake around somewhere in the other shed but he hasn't come close to the house so it's OK.

Problem is I've got something reasonable big that knocks things over at times but what it is I don't know. Could be a possum or even a feral cat because I've had both of those in the past.. Could even be a blue tongue, they are plentiful around here.

I get those mud wasps as well. They are gruesome when you find a nest full of parallelised spiders. You can see that they are still alive cos they are all pretty colours but they just fall out. Nearly feel sorry for them. And the hunstmans with all their legs cut off so they fit down the hole. Poor buggers. Whoe'd be a spider. .....But the real bugger is when the wasp builds their nest in the teapot spout. Can't get it out again, and what have they made the nest out of? Clay that is all around them. So it just fires in solid if I miss it and put them in the kiln.

I should try and train them to build in a mould. There was someone at some design fest or other that had wax vases built by bees. But I could fire and glaze them and everything. Cool.

I hate those mud wasps as well, but that's surely a good way of turning a negative into a positive. Good thinking ... now get training.
