This weekend’s joy ??
I had said to my misses I would put some training stuff in the summer house/shed to make a small gym, fast forward 4 years and I chose this week end to get round to it.
I think I should have left well a loan but too late for that.
Before I was going to make this gym the misses decided it should be carpeted, so son finds old carpet in attic and undelays it with some laminate floor underlay, big mistake?
She then filled it up with more than a dozen packing boxes, plastic storage boxes and much more. When I mentioned that carpet would rot in a shed it fell on deaf ears.
I took some carpet out of there about 2 years ago rotten, but some was left behind under chest freezer and under heavy tread mill which was surrounded by crap.
I took it all out this weekend.
Problem where the carpet had been left the 1inch marine plywood seems to have rotted it looks OK but has no strength, e.g. flexes and gives a lot when I stand on it all areas where I had moved the carpet from still solid, so next job sort floor out, temp measure laid some support battens across.
Total amazement as to what was in the boxes.
2 boxes Cuddly toys all have been washed and re-housed to grand kids, my kids not happy.
2 boxes wife’s cloths, amazing how many still tagged? Some recycled some heading for e-bay
4 boxes of my son’s crap, he had a shock when I said collect or I will drop it off at the tip.
2 boxes of kitchen stuff, pots pans, juicier etc.
2 Boxes of videos, not had a video player for years
2 boxes of books
Box of kids books
2 boxes marked bed room stuff, found a couple of hundred quid of misses perfume stuff not opened.
Garden tools, lawn mower, box of decorating stuff, new rollers brushes.
I think the misses thought it was a TARDIS storage hole.
To top it all she cannot remember packing all this stuff so it must be my fault?
The pile of crap to go to the tip is about car loads, I have a fairly big estate car.
GYM now almost set up apparently I need to wipe all the gym equipment down and get rid of spiders?
Need to get rid of chest freezer, then I can get a cross trainer.
Gym not used yet to knackered, but in and working treadmill, spinning wheel bike, small stepper, gym bike and some small hand weights. All I need to do now is get fit???
