Wondering if we can squeeze a small freezer in there... Not sure if hubby wants a freezer in his workshop but hey ;)
Just been looking at freezers (bought an extra one), some are designed to go in out buildings.... And they don't seem to be any more expensive.
(Yes we finally got the shed delivered and assembled and when the local dump/recycling place opened, I did various car runs to dump the old rotten shed - I'm always amazed what I get in the back of my old focus estate!)
Estate car= stealth BOV ;)

That was the other thing I did this week, get a fire blanket, eye wash station and fill an empty first aid box with workshop/knife forge first aid bits. Hubby happily then attached them all to various points in the shed. Not saying he's accident prone - that's me, but if we don't have them, you bet your last penny we'd need them!

We arent allowed to use out of date first aid items at work, although what issues an out of date triangular bandage is going to cause is beyond me and personally I would rather use an out of date basic dressing than none at all. As I'm in charge of restocking I always ask if anyone wants them for home and if it's a no they come home with me. We have also been pretty lucky with being given wood recently, husbands customers offered their cut down tree as it was going to cost them to get it removed, a colleague of work offered me bags of wood they got for a chimnea and hadnt used and which was cluttering up her garden and I also scavaged a load of solid wood furniture from work which had been dumped. Weekend was mostly spent harvesting from the garden, putting the garlic up to dry, picking berries and rhubarb and making them into crumbles to freeze and harvesting the broccoli and my sad looking caulis. None of them would win any prizes in a competition, but they still taste good.
Growing old disgracefully!
