You can do it. Just a little at a time. It will come together. Go for it.

I know it's bad but so is the water bill. If things get better I'll plant a nice lawn and water it too. Some day I'll make it better. by the way that's a nice shed you have there.

I had just swept it out before I took the pics. Should have seen it the day before. If you had you'd be telling me to clean up dump it on top of a mountain and go skiing.

Welcome to posting in Australia :D , we are allowed, and in some cases required to put water tanks on our sheds to water the "lawn", I haven't got a shaping shed but I admire your internals keep posting.

Jaffa, I'm opinionated, and I'm sometimes right. So?

In a past life (career) I tracked down some carbon rail tape for him. Never hot a chance to see how things went for him unfortunately as I got a dcm due to the gfc.

What do you guys do with the PU blank off cuts. I have noticed a lot of people hang onto them, but what for. Seems to just be more clutter. (wavecraft has inspired me to tidy up my workshop)

Sometimes use the bones (rail cut offs) to pad rails in shipping boxes.
