The Shed

My husband is known as Mr Fix It and makes his living in part by repairing all things mechanic and electrical. A handy man needs his shed. So the tray of the Ute is affectionately known as THE SHED.  One summer K and our oldest son built slide out boxes for the ute and in these are a full set of electric drills with batteries, chargers and attachments as well as containers of nuts, bolts and all the other mysterious things he magically pulls out to help out the latest person with a thingamyjig that does not work.

The ute storage "shed" in action. One of the two boxes pulled out to get to a filter.
Note the slot on the side for fuel cans. No wasted space here.

K is appalled by what people throw out. On his rounds of the caravan park he finds things to salvage; three electric kettles become one, two folding camp chairs merge to create one good one, a jump start unit thrown out because it got wet has been cleaned up and reused. There are always two or three projects sitting in bins in THE SHED or tucked into boxes under the annex. The staff here use rebuilt bikes courtesy of K to ride from their quarters into the bistro or to explore the area on their day off.

While regular culling of the bits and pieces of junk... oh excuse me ... incredibly useful important equipment.... is necessary,  I am amazed at what K can do with the contents of two pull out boxes in the car and one storage area under the caravan bench seat.
