You can keep your caves men!
I had a plan today, I was determined to not have a nap as usual. I would try to paint the house walls inside the "porch" (it will never get finished)I found out some old clothes and rolled around on the bed trying to put my old leggings on. Wore me out before I started! Got my wrist splints ready, I remember all the decorating I used to do, so I psyched myself up,
"You can do this!"
Well, my outhouse is the type where you open the door and throw things in, if you're lucky they land in a shelf or against a wall.
I found a large tin of white emulsion tucked away, gave it a yank and brought down an old cd player, a tray, some oasis bricks, a large piece of polystyrene insulation which should be attatched to the ceiling and several dead (I hoped) spiders.
Then, I looked in the cupboard for brushes, you know the ones that are always in my cupboard, nope, vases, yes, pots, yes, various useful cables and more spiders.
I found, whilst rummaging through a bucket on top if another cupboard, a packet of fat balls! Oooo I' ll keep those out! The packet broke sending them all over the floor and mostly behind the two strimmers in the corner, tangled together and probably useless!
No brushes! But there was some Paint and Grain! I wonder if it's still usable?
Too tired by then to do anything, so nap time!
I'm leaving the leggings on, not going through that trauma again!
Itchy now! Crawly things everywhere!
Keep your sheds and outhouses men, I don't like 'em!

TessA you poor thing, and where were all the men when you needed help.....probably down the pub!
Look on the bright side, if you didn't have so many spiders in that shed, it could have been alive with maggots
Now have a good nap and remember, painting in the nude is a good idea, because you can easily shower off the emulsion spillages.

Ooeer Twink ...are you telling us you decorated with all your bits hanging out?Have a rest TessA ... outhouses and sheds should be left to fester and accumulate muck and dust. Anything else is just not a real shed!
Last time I did mine I discovered baby mice living there .. and called a halt so as not to disturb the little things.

Re: You can keep your caves men!
The thing about sheds is you have to put in as many shelves as you can at the beginning Twiz, up high and at waist level, lower shelves are a back breaker and should be avoided except for heavy things you seldom use, put them in before you even put a jam jar into it, once you have rows of shelves, long ones, short ones, wide ones and a few narrow ones, you are able to have some sort of organised confusion, when you spend enough time in your shed you then get into the habit of knowing where everything is when you need it, it all works great for me until I'm out and the wife goes to the shed to find something, when I get back the shed is upside down and she stands there moaning "How in the name of God can you find anything out there?" Women and sheds just don't get on somehow.
