It is important to live in a house that has a storage shed.
There are some things that you should not keep inside the house mainly for safety reasons apart from other reasons.
After all, the lady of the house does not really want your lawn mower petrol can sitting in her laundry cupboard.
It is not safe and is a definite no no for inside the house.
So whether you rent a house or buy a house, make sure you have a storage shed outside in the yard.
If you are searching for a rental home it is a simple matter to make sure it has a shed or if the landlord will provide one.
If you are buying a home make sure it has a storage shed or room for you to include one very soon.
If you are building a new home or having one built you should have included some sort of outside storage in your building plans.
As we have said, there are many things that one should not really keep inside the house.
We mentioned fuel for the lawn mower etc.
and that should be outside.
The same with all those chemical sprays that we use on pests in our garden.
If you are a vegetable grower you will know how much of that stuff you will have sitting around.
There will be sprays and powders and all sort's of nasty stuff which should be outside.
If we have small kids then this stuff is a definite danger and not only should be outside but under lock and key.
Of course, we will have all the garden tools laying around as well.
Mum will not like them stuck behind the laundry door and if they are left outside they are going to deteriorate and will soon need replacing.
Every man has some basic repair tools as well for jobs on the car to jobs around the house.
These tools all need a safe home as well as the related bits and pieces like screws and nails.
What about all that nasty stuff for the car.
Oil and engine additives and stuff like brake fluid.
Some of this stuff can be very nasty in the wrong hands.
Just imagine if your little one found a bottle of brake fluid out near the car and was playing with it and managed to spill it all over the car.
That would make a lovely mess of the paint work.
So we have decided that we must have a storage shed out side in the garden safely away from kids.
Funds are always tight so we will have to build it our self.
That is not a difficult job as long as we have some good working drawings and tips to work to.
There are plenty of shed plans out there with easy to follow drawings so that is all you need to get started.
Get on to it now before your kids are in any more danger.
