An Afternoon In The Barn

It was too hot and muggy to be outside this afternoon, I spent the time in the barn doing yet more unpacking, its almost a year since we moved and there are still boxes, I am fed up of going through them looking for something, These boxes are now unpacked

Martin can have a bonfire with the empty boxes

This is what I have done with the content's

These shelf units were on special offer at the garden centre, reduced from £29.99 to £9.99 I got half a dozen to get stuff organised in the barn, It was driving me nuts having everything scattered to all four corners and still in boxes.

I like having things together, on the left is a unit of all the BBQ and outdoor cooking stuff, next is all Martins home brew stuff, next is all bee keeping things then on the right is all the pots of paint.

I still have a few units to assemble  I can then get more stuff organised.

While I was in the barn I heard one of the rat traps go off, I thought I would check it later, and carried on with what I was doing, next I could hear something crashing and banging, upon investigation I found the rat that had been caught was not dead and dragging the trap around, Sol got all excited thinking it was some one to play with.

I grabbed the mallet and dispatched the said rat.

Its the time of year again for rats as they are cutting the fields  the rats are running for cover.

so we must get down poison and traps, although we do have traps down all year round.

We will have to up the anti.

We have storms forecast  I have put everything away and checked there is nothing that is going to be blowing around and keeping me awake, brought the logs in for the morning, took Sol for a long walk down the forest, he is now flaked out I am all showered and not far off ready for bed.

Hope you all stay safe in the storms.
