Good one RustyD biggrin

That reminded me of this

"What I am worried about that is when I die my wife will sell all my tools and hobby items for what I told her I paid for them."

Geoff, I don't think those left behind will care much and neither will you if it comes to it.

 Absolutely Possom3,

I have been out in my shed today and when I look around I know exactly where you are coming from.

It is still funny when you buy something you really need and there it is, and you think wow that item is 35 years old and I still have it. biggrin

Another tip is never have your wife in the shed when you are cleaning up biggrin biggrin

I'm in the middle of throwing out stuff in my sheds - all 4 of them. Sold 4 items on Gumtree (3 still to go), taken a ute load of rubbish to the tip (probably one more to go), squashed all sorts of stuff into normal garbage bin and recycle bin. Still stuff to squeeze into both bins.

Wife in shed when cleaning up not good. Why are you keeping this, that, etc? then when she wants something fixed in a hurry she understands why.
On the other side, I try to clean out the kitchen cupboards and drawers when there is too much stuff to trip over when trying to find what I want. Did that last week. 14 pairs of tongs, 15 wooden spoons, 9 pastry brushes, 13 egg rings. No wonder the utensil drawer was a bit full.

And you always find that one or two weeks later, when fixing something, you look for that odd piece of wood that had been waiting for a use. But oh no, it went to the tip.
Must mean a trip to the big green shed to buy some more............

 And then you end up with the same off cut that you threw away.

When I need a scrap bit of wood, I just drive around an industrial estate as there are always pallets on the footpath with "free" on the pile.

There is also a metal recycling collection point a few kms away where I often see someone with a hacksaw or bolt cutters finding that piece of metal.

A building site (with builders permission) is often a good place to get that bit of scrap out of the industrial bin - wood, poly pipe etc.

As a result I don't need to hoard as much these days.

Almost Chinese whispers. Start with one statement and see where it end up.
Keeping us all occupied and amused though.

it must be one of raffertys rules or murphys laws that as soon as you throw out that thing that has been there forever you find a need for it

Or you spend weeks looking for something and you finally give up and buy a replacement. Then a week later when looking for something else you find your missing item.

I have a 7 year policy for the good stuff in the shed. If I haven,t used it in 7 years I will find a use for it. That way the ,chuck out date, keeps rolling forward.
