How Often do you clean your shed?

I know I am going to become an object of hatred for this, but ...

the cleaning lady sweeps my shed :D :D

She mows my two acres too :D :D :D

And I am not married to her :D :D :D :D

You better hurry up then before someone else gets her. :D

This is weird - I was cleaning the shed last night, as I do at then of every day, if I don't put the tools away at the very least it will become a nightmare, and I was wondering if a poll to see how often people cleaned their shed would be a good idea!

I vacuum the floor about once a week, but I put eveything I can away before I knock off - I used to clean workshops for a living, so I find the process rather simple.

It makes working in the shed safer, and project more enjoyable.

He's over in the Flinder's Ranges at the moment, so I told him on the phone I was packing all his stuff into cardboard boxes and having a garage sale. He muttered something about nasty things he'd done to the last bloke who tried that sort of thing.

Honestly, just because these people bring you into the world, feed you, clothe you and put you through school they think that gives them some kind of authority :rolleyes:

You lucky bugger, I'd love to share a workshop with my old man but alas he's several thousand miles away.:(

On the subject of cleaning after posting a picture of my bench I can't claim to be tidy at all as time in the "shed" is limited. I put away what's in the way, Triton WB, Compressor and stuff and I sweep the sawdust into a corner. Every now and again it will get on my nerves and I'll have a mass cleanup which involves several breaks when I find stuff like wall hooks that I decide to mount immediately so that I can justify buying more...

HH.

Go the whales...................

Al,

You've done nearly 2000 posts and you hadn't worked out that this isn't a gay whale site! A little slow me thinks. :D

"as often as it needs it" needs a bit of definition. When it got to the stage that I had to put my shoulder to the door in order to get in well...things get a bit drastic and I called up a bulldozer (well a bobcat actually). Now she's (is a shed a she?) a twisted pile of gal. Now thats a cleanup!


Cheers

It sh*%# me to tears if I go to get a tool & it's not in it's place so I clean up as I work.
This time also doubles as a work-flow check, I think about the project & what needs to be done 3,4 or 5 steps ahead of where I am @ the moment. This is so I don't glue up legs without putting in the stretcher and other stupid things I've done in the past :o .

I also hate tripping over things :D

Oft times with many jobs that require finishing but are'nt and are delegated to the back of the shed then tidying the shed is an almost impossible task given the wait time for those projects...but in the main I try to keep the tools where they should be ...on hooks/hangers...tidiness is a virtue by some standards not always the case in my situation.
The only area generally tidy is my immediate work area ...not the shed.

Cheers :)

I clean my shed when it needs it.
Which generally means after I realise my new machine cant fit in the shed unless I get rid of some of my collection of crap. Thats when my woodheap grows.

Oh dear, Bob, I think your rational needs some work. If the new machine wont fit in its quite obvious....Its BIGGER Shed time:D

Well thats my theory anyway.

Cheers

Shed and office, I have a "Piling" system rather than a filing system.

When I am spending more time looking than doing, it is time for the grand clean-up.

For a minute there I thought this was another one of those "is-this--and-are-you-offended" type polls then I realised that it was in the WRONG forum, it should be in the woodies jokes forum(at least for me anyway!)

Kev ;) :rolleyes: :cool:

Well I am now building an exterior timber rack so that I can clean me shed up enough to put some more tools in it.

Got the weatherboards on the walls and the roof on today.
