Painting finshed. I was using a roller on an extension pole which was great - except I snapped it in the first 5 minutes and had to do the rest of the shed on my hands and knees with a hand held roller. There is only a working time of 30 minutes with this stuff so I couldn't race out and buy another.

I didn't want any non car related stuff in the main shed so I built this garden shed. Unfortunately it is so full of spare panels etc, that I struggle to fit the lawn mower in it!!!
