I cleaned out the shed!

So I have spent the day cleaning. I started with the normal hoovering, washing up, cleaning down the kitchen work tops, putting a clothes wash in the machine.

Then I remembered that I am getting a bbq from my mum, now that my little brother has bought a swanky new gas one. So my shed needed cleaning out. As I don't want it going rusty if I left it out in the garden.

The shed is one of the many dumping grounds that I have, this one is for all the garden stuff plus the painting equipment. There is also all the rubbish that the old owners had kindly left us.

So I started by taking out everything and found that a family of mice had taken up residence but the cats, got to love them, soon scared them off. Baskerville almost had one but the silly thing let it go.

Once all the rubbish was out I had to block up all the holes so the mice don't come back. Then I had to bin a whole load of things that the mice had used as a home. I also found so meny snail shells so a good sweep out sorted all that.

Then to put everything that we are keeping back in. Now this took a while having to decided where everything was to go.

But now I have a useable shed. The only thing is that in the next year or so I am going to have to buy a new shed as it is rotting which is how the mice got in. This is becuse the person who put the shed up did it on bear earth!
