Hmmm... yeah... both in WA... more fuel for my suspicions!
It'd be nice to have something in the Code banning these fairies from our sheds, but I'm not sure whether they can read. They certainly ignore the plans I leave next to my pieces when I lock up for the day!

Pizz fairies on the other hand, are a different story. :cool:Quote:

Thanks

Inventor of the Internal Security Window Cover trend:rolleyes:
Nope, can't do that.
But yer can hang cleaning rags over the windows
I am amazed where did you guys get the time to creat the worlds best CODE this is exceptionally a one off document :2tsup::2tsup::2tsup::2tsup:
I only had time to skim WOW
I have created a PDF and willing to forward it to anyone if they'd prefer or if there is an area it can be permenantly posted to its just 175kb
or should i just attache it
Perhaps if they were cleaning rags that had been cleaned and hung to dry ready for re-use. You couldn't call 'em curtains though, that wouldn't be right.Quote:

Curtains, I mean to say! Per-lease!!!
Theres no rule about cleanin cloths not being frilly an lacey
just don't tell anyone there yours, Right Echnida? :oo: :p :D
Carn Guys - but they're there to keep prying eyes out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Surely under shed security they'd be allowed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
mumble, mumble....... :kickcan:
I dunno, You people. :no:
Surely everybody knows they're really tack cloths? They're ideally positioned and all! You just take the piece you want to clean over into the better light by the window and there they are... all ready to remove those last few offending specks of dust. :D
'Swhat I was sayin'. See, Wendy. We knew they weren't curtains.Quote:

Ruffly,
The pieces of fabric in question are not, in my opinion, Code violations as such. To whit:
5.4 Decoration. Decoration of a shed is very important as it expresses a bloke’s personality and character. Decoration of the shed can include but shall not be limited to: old number plates, tin signs, tool stickers, calendars, charts, photos, posters, drawings, coasters, cobwebs (see para 5.4 Cobwebs) old bottles, old cans, old jars, old footballs and other superannuated sporting paraphernalia (no self-respecting shed is entirely complete without a bent and twisted wooden-framed tennis or squash racquet with busted real-gut strings) & information leaflets on every conceivable subject known to Man.
This leaves a lot of leeway for personal decisions. I believe we may safely posit that fabric hung on a wall (whether or not a window is present) is well within the rights of the bloke as it is his shed (please substitute sheila and gender-specific pronouns as necessary). Therefore, I submit to Driver (who is, after all the final arbiter in disputes of this sort) that so long as the fabric in question is not openly referred to as a "curtain" or as "lacy" but simply as part of the decoration of the shed (or perhaps as a safety device to protect your tools), that you are on safe ground.
