Tool cupboard tidying frenzy

As I've explained before, we occasionally have a random quiet week, due to no one taking holiday, or just a gap between new installations.

This week is one of those, and by Thursday we were scratching round for jobs a bit. In two weeks we will be really busy again, but there's nothing we can bring forward.

I passingly mentioned that our locker full of tools and spare bits of hardware hadn't been properly cleared out since before I started... in 2002!

Bizarrely, my assistant Michelle more or less jumped at the chance to do this, before rather sheepishly announcing that she loves making things organised and tidy. I came back from doing something else to find that she'd spread all the odds and ends out in very neat rows on the table, and was busily sorting them in to containers.

She's slightly embarrassed about how happy she looks at doing this. Hey, everyone's got to have something they enjoy!

It was true, by the way:there were things in that locker I've never seen before. What can you spot in the photo?

4 door wedges
A hand drill (when's the last time anyone ever used one of those?)
6 plant food scoops
Half an outside tap
