The ‘stuff’ purge isn’t going well. This morning I’ve just ordered a new ride on mower. The upside is that it will force me to clear out the garage of other junk to make room for it!
Or buy another shed.
I’ve just ordered a new ride on mower.
Unused rolls of Wallpaper, carpet remnants, half a pack of laminate flooring, a three quarter full box of kitchen tiles all kept...
...just in case!
No room, the mother in law’s mummified corpse is in there.At least all "spare" wall tiles are stored under the bath here, behind the trim panel
Too right. The oldest box I have is for my LP12. It's nearly 35 years old, and getting a bit tatty. But, that is what I use to transport my deck when we move. I wish I kept some of the earlier Lego boxes.Boxes. I keep boxes. For everything I buy. Drives my wife nuts.
In the loft are boxes for 5 x Naim Fraims ,2 x SBL boxes , a 32 inch monitor, a 65 inch TV , a 55 inch TV , a Gibson Les Paul (lovely artwork - far too good to chuck) Apple boxes iPod / iPads / Mac mini , Linn LP12 / Lingo etc etc.
Never mind the Lego - which is stuffed into every available space.
You can't have too many boxes (plus it helps on resale if you ever decide to get rid)
James, I can beat you on that, I have my LP12 box from 1983 (38 years), its got more original parts than the LP12 itself now!Too right. The oldest box I have is for my LP12.

I think we should treat ourselves to a brand new LP12 box. Apparently Linn sells them for £85. I'm pretty sure some of the original polystyrene packing are in several pieces.James, I can beat you on that, I have my LP12 box from 1983 (38 years), its got more original parts than the LP12 itself now!
Not just humans. All mammals I suspect and certainly dogs. I used to play with the neighbours dog over the fence. He would bring toys to me, we would play pulling and fetch games. After a while he would assemble the toys in a row, out of my reach, and sit behind them all, looking at me with a satisfied air.I don't know what it is in the human condition that makes us want more.
I speak from experience...........
Unless you have over something like 0.3-0.4 acres to mow and the mown area is bordered by very straight lines and/or broad sweeping curves, a ride-on is more trouble than it is worth, not least storage once you get beyond the dimensions/geometry of what is to be mown.
I used to work with a fellah who had a fair bit of mown area - back in the 70's-80's - and he was dumb-founded at near neighbours with similar or less who owned ride-ons and either did no exercise or jogged. Read into that what you will.
Personally. I have had no leass than an acre plot for well over 30 years and would not have had a ride-on if you had paid me.................
