I can not remember my grand dad buying any thing, yet he had five sheds full of stuff, if some one threw out a spade, fork, hoe, he would rescue and repair it,
he had one shed full of garden tools, and wood, i have no idea where he found
it, but he had a wood stack for rough stuff and a shed for the good stuff.

But they are ancient, only a real hoarder would have any of their material.
They were over rated as well.

Science will not allow a perfect vacuum, it seems the same for people and sheds
There must be an unwritten law, that the volume of a shed is never equal to
its original requirements. :smile:

Given enough time you could fill any volume, better not be geedy and let
others have some ooparts to stash away :biggrin:

Since my first name, Arild, is derived from Harawaldr, which means "war-chief", I can accept that.

Wasn't Arild a character in Steptoe and Son, the rag and bone merchant?

I am blissfully ignorant of any such character.
(And who's Steptoe?)

It was a comedy show on british tv a long time ago, about a rag and bone
collector and his son, Arild.

What do you think of a war chief, Sir? I don't think frightening people by his appearance would be part of his job! They may be frightening but of course not because of their appearances!
