How Often do you clean your shed?

[echnidna]

Beejay, actually Victoria was part of NSW until we escaped from cockroach land. (an aussie term of endearment for NSW) and theres definately drop bears here too!!.
They scared s*** out of some campers over Christmas. So we went hunting for them but couldn't see them, but we could hear them so I know they're here.

I hope you explained to the visiting campers that drop bears won't attack you if you douse your head in fresh urine before venturing forth?

I know I should but I never seem to have the time. I only ever get to the shed once or twice a week nowadays and only for a couple of hours at best each time. THEREFORE, cleaning is the last thing on my mind when I'm out there.

If I lose something in the shavings I clean till I find it then back to whatever I was doing. If I can't find it after five minutes, I consider it lost.

I know the feeling. I misplaced a 1/4" to 1/2" router bit adaptor about 6 months ago. I know it's there somewhere, I just can't find the bl00dy thing.
drives me mad looking for it. It will probabley show up when I need something else & I'll put it in a safe place to be lost for another 6 months...

Hooroo.

I've misplaced a 1/2" router, I really need to clean up.

Of course not!
Its much funnier watching them find out

Most of my 'quality time' is spent procrastinating about what to do, so I have heaps of time to keep things in order... SWMBO says it obsessive/compulsive and it must look like it at times........................................................

J!

If the shed was supposed to be tidy I could set it up in the lounge or dining room for F@#$'s sake. Just like dirty clothes - you wash 'em when you got to turn yesterdays jock's inside out :eek:

In all seriousness I usually get the flexible hose out and do a clean up of the floor and or the equipment I've been using every evening with the DC. Although that depends on the time, how much I'm enjoying a coldie and how much more I'm going to make tomorrow.

Tools - well when I can't find something it's time to clean up till I find it. The longer it takes the more it was needed anyway. I'm convinced however this tends to add to the unfinished projects list - couldn't find a chuck key the other week so the hammer drill job was postponed till I found it a month later. :eek:

As for grand clean up's well the old adage applies "That'll be handy if I ever find a use for it"

Buggered if I know what to answer on the poll therefore.

I went away for a week, got back an the wife thought she'd be helpful, it's been three months now, I still can't find my chisels or steel rulers - she assures me there still in there. That's why I don't clean up the shed, I normally do it after the jobs done.

I've been off work for 2 weeks now (after snip snip went bad) and couldn't spend much of that time in my shed. SWMBO's relly's just came down and thought I would like having my shed cleaned. I had only just got a nice thick coating of shavings on the floor. It's really easy on the feet.
Sometimes my gouges and chisels get put back in the box I made for them. Mostly not nut they are always within a 900 radius off my lathe.
A bit of a shame as I have this awesome work bench that my great grandfather brought out from Germany and I cant see it. The vices are acessible though.
