Well mainly because it doesn't take much effort to throw some shelves there. But blocking off like 2m square of space (which in my neck of the woods costs £12k
) to stop "messy looking storage" is nuts.Images of items I have purchased (except trainers [no feet pics])

Turn it into wine storage
That's exactly what I did when I boxed it in! Don't feel so guilty when your stash of booze isn't on displayTurn it into wine storage
I think we're using boxed in to mean different things - I've built a cupboard beneath mine - what I meant I was against was just plaster boarding it up!That's exactly what I did when I boxed it in! Don't feel so guilty when your stash of booze isn't on display

It looks great on display though!
Nice colours! I wish Sony would be more adventurous with their dualsense controllers.New Xbox controller
A used Snap on 3/8" deep socket set and a halfords advanced mid tool chest. It's living under my bed until the shed gets rearranged so that it will fit between the bottom and top chests I already have without blocking access to everything.
I've a full Snap on/Mac Tools set up for when i worked as a tech/grease monkey in main dealers, then moved to full time MOT tester.
I then kept the set up at home and bought the full Halfords kit for work, and tbh for the money it's an absolute steal, and the warranty is superb.
I kinda wish i hadn't spent £6K (probably/definitely more) on Snap On and Mac

Very impressive.Six individual drawer units plus a tallboy cupboard and then a piece of MDF separating that to where the existing cupboard is. They are push to open and hold 75KG each IIRC.
One part of the plasterboard removed. It was just open space behind it.
Things used to get lost here, and access wasn't great due to the slope of the stairs, plus no light in there (rectifiable I know)
The drawer units themselves installed.
One drawer out:
The tallboy unit/door is also push to open.
Way more usable storage space plus the ability to sort it a lot better too. Very happy, we had the three drawer version in the old house and it's one of the things we miss the most.
Only thing is now we have to arrange a tip run as they don't have a commercial wasn't license so I have a load of plasterboard and other bits which have been removed to get rid off.
Got this just before Halloween and the colour is fitting:
Took it on track last week.
I'm curious, have you ever played Assetto Corsa and are they as hard to drive as they are in Assetto Corsa? They're quite loose cars when starting to push them. Though they seem to be fun. A lot of weight transfer.
Nice colour scheme. I assume it's a form of metallic pearlescent the way it shifts to yellow in brighter parts?

New watch. Going to get a new strap as I don’t like the blue and my old black one is a bit mankey
The old one fell 15m from the top of a sim, twice. Survived the first fall, second one really broke it.

How does one drop a watch from that height? Surely it would be on your wrist?

I was doing the same job twice, whilst up on top of the sim and it got caught, popped off and fell down the side. The second time I thought as i was going up, I need to take off my watch and totally forgot when I was up there.
Sim?

Flight simulator.
A few more tools turned up today. Snap on 1/4" flex ratchet and 6, 7, 8 & 9mm ratchet spanner set.
Clearly someone else watches AvE "vijayos".
Most of my tools are a mix of Teng, Facom, Draper and screwfix. (all of which have been great) I'm being cunning on sniffing out the used bargains on ebay to fill in gaps in my tool set. There are still quite a few gaps to be filled. I'm eyeing up Koken for some of it where I can't find any snap on or similar going cheap.I've a full Snap on/Mac Tools set up for when i worked as a tech/grease monkey in main dealers, then moved to full time MOT tester.
