After tripping over my garden tools for months, having marauding moggies knock them down and finding that my beloved sons were leaving them lay around the property, I took things into hand. A few days ago while fossicking at the op shop in Echuca, I came across a bookcase that had no shelves. Now, being the bilateral thinker that I am, my mind went into overdrive. So after parting with $7.50 for the book case, Number 2 son and I squeezed said book case into my rice bubble car and made our way home. It has been on the verandah waiting for me to finish the project for the few days since, so today while in town, I bought a hole saw and measured out the spacing to drill holes for my garden tool handles to slide through. Allowing 10cm between each of the holes to allow room for hands and no cuts or grazes while getting tools out. Then after attaching the hole saw to my lovely big impact drill, I set to drilling out the holes. The old book case now has two rows of 9 holes and sits proudly on my verandah with most of the tools in place. Next week I intend to buy a couple of hooks to put one end and hang the pruning shears and secatuers, as well as a bigger hook for the other end to hold the spade and garden fork. Another job done and less mess to look at.
