Yeah, old wood is kinda vogue – but you’ll get a few more years out of the piece if it’s painted with outdoor house paint.

It’s comforting to be in good company, huh? To be kindred spirits along with John Steinbeck,…who’d have thunk?

A burlap ‘skirt’ is a great idea,…easy to staple up and easy to draw aside to reach the storage. Thanks, Susan…

Stick it on with velcro that way you can stash other pots and bags of dirt out of sight but not out of mind. Because no matter how much you get rid of stuff, more stuff seems to always take its place. At least that’s what happens at my house and garden. Thanks for sharing–Susan B.

Thanks, Kat! Yes, DO keep the husband! I found this sink next to a dumpster,…or near it, at a small nursery. They had been using it as a display and when I offered twenty bucks for it,…they said yes! Sold! ~~ Sue

I worked on my garden shed some more today …it’s coming tog! Like you, I’m sorting good junk & bad junk (is there such a thing as ‘bad junk?’) Nah…I’m passing on some of my ‘extra junk’ to Goodwill. Love all your shed came tog w/all the hard work of you & Tractor Man!

On the other hand, I do still have the same husband…and I might not have if he’d had to move that thing multiple times.
