This is not a joke!

I have just come inside after making a start on our new 'Bull Box' so I can put 'The Killer' cock on the Bull System, get eggs from him and then ..... think about what to do with him.

I had to take the individual pieces outside to put them together, as my 28 foot long wood workshop is full! Why is it - No matter how big one's workshop/shed is - it is never big enough.

After 45 minutes of messing about with screws outside, I had had enough - I was Freezing!

I have just looked at our outside thermometer, and it is reading 1.1 degrees Celsius. No wonder I am feeling cold.

How is the weather with you lovely people?

From NOT sunny frogland.

snow and very cold wind here in the west country not nice at all

Snowing all morning in Essex not laying just trained my under 12s, can't feel my hands

rain here at the moment, and very cold.....gave the birds their breakfast earlier and off to clean out and feed up shortly, not looking forward to getting soaked

Rain and windy and cold here I've been feeding birds as much as want while is cold and wet

  Same, same with my workshop/space under my house here Phil. Nice & cool there in the hot weather thou . Beautful day here after what we have had etc as its rain, rain rain & I'm about to go jump in a puddle for the enjoyment factor .

I had a standard size single garage, and built a big double garage thinking it would give me more room to store things and also work under cover if needed.........turned out it just gave me more room to fill with junk, I will probably never use or need.....

It's part and parcel of being in the building trade, if it looks like it could be useful in the future keep it, for at least 10 years , I was the same,6 inch piece of batten, put it in the shed, rusty nail, put it in the shed
