I'd just put clips on the wall for shovels and $hit, that way you don't trip over them every time you go in there for something.

I think I will mount a bar then rivet velcro strips to it. That should hold shovels and rakes from laying and falling on the floor. The ends sitting on the floor is fine

Didn't get much done over the weekend. Just didn't feel like dealing with the wind. I did run the weedeater around the yard and knocked down a few high spots. Then I dug up most of a stump in the back yard I have looking at since we have been here.

I paid $20 for the 4' by about 5' sheet of diamond plate I used for the garage window. Still have a lot of it left. If you have cash in hand they give a little more break.

Not much got done over the weekend. Spent most of Saturday at the folks. Sunday I spent dragging tree branches to the front yard for bulk pick up. Then started in doing more trimming that needed to be done and drug that to the front. Trees probly need more trimming but I'm calling it good now. Wind wasn't helping matters. Also drug the floor from the old shed out to the pile as well along with a few other things. to clean up the back yard. Now to run the mower around the back yard and setup my new corn hole game.  :good  Get some practice in so I can kick the kids butt's.   :laugh  :D

I thought the new shed was going into orbit and end up in another county. I had a pile of leaves in the back that seems to have been relocated.  :laugh

Didn't get a whole lot done over the weekend. I did pick up a stick of 1 1/2 square tubing that I drilled and setup to hold rakes and shovels in the shed. I just need to install it in the shed. I got wrapped up in watching drags that were being streamed out of Tucson on Sunday so it didn't get done.  :rolleyes
