I'm tidying up the shed, which involves going through all the stuff put to one side in the past as potentially useful in the future.
At one time it seemed good to have spare screws of all types and sizes in pastille boxes, tins, glass jars, whatever. These days a multi-pack of screws from Screwfix and an impact driver seems to meet nearly all requirements.
I have a load of cupboard handles, rusty hinges and brackets, all put aside for when they would come in useful.
The major task now is sorting them all into different tubs prior to recycling.
It is taking forever and is bloody dispiriting. Years of hoarding and all for nothing.
Just come in out of a rain shower for a grumble.
Never mind, one day soon I will have things rationalised and some space to work in.
I still have a massive store of plastic piping - guttering, down pipes, soil pipes (both above and under ground) plus a reel of 15mm plastic plumbing pipe and loads of other stuff.
I think a lot of this might be "free to a good home" because it no longer justifies the storage space it is taking up.
Once the toilet, sink and shower are installed in the shed, of course.
Anyway, onwards and upwards.
Depressing to think "I haven't used it in 20 years and I wont be able to use it after another 10-15 years".
Reached the age to seriously down size.
Cheers
