Actually, the shelves are for all of the tubs of hardware that have been piled in the front half of the shed, making it impossible for me to get to the tools that I'll never have the time to use. Seriously, the problem is that I have been using the tools, and the hardware, but it's been so crammed into the front half of the shed that half the time I can't find what I need despite the fact that I already have one, or two, or three of them. > > I heard the other day that our neighbour's garage has to be demolished due to > quake damage [exactly what I don't know as it looks ok to me].

It seems that usually the garage is, if anything, between the house and the road, which would make me expect that the house is between the garage and the river. Or at the very least, next to the garage. -- Larry Colen [email protected] sent from i4est -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
