But I put this up when Mrs HD was diagnosed with her brain tumour.
Getting better now & promised I’ll change it after she get her stem cell back in, hopefully next week.

My Best wishes to Both of you...!!

We obviously all wish her well and a speedy recovery. Some of the modern LED flood lights do a 'brilliant' job as a work light plus they are small and can fit under our toys and lay on their back to point the beam in the right direction. Panel beating, the fun part! Ots of patience, primer, guide coats and blocking out to come.

Cheers Guys for your nice comments, it's been a long & bumpy road, but getting her stem cells back should be the end of this journey.

I've seen those nice LED workshop lights, but I'm such a cheapskate can't bring myself to buy them.

I solved the bars on the windows of my shed. I don't have any.

One less thing to go wrong.

Something I have suggested for many years is not to use clear glass in the3 windows of a shed or garage. It still lets light in but not prying eyes. With modern homes today when the garage is attached to the house and they have windows in the garage they then discover they want window coverings which is what I did for tha last almost 30 years. No matter what type of blinds you fit, when the door opens to drive in or out the blinds get blown around and can get damaged. I usually suggest to buy some window tint frosted and apply that. Not all think it is a good idea but some do.

Cobba,

We have 2 1800x1500 windows in the garage of the the new house we purchased. What a pain, the vertical venetians blew away all the time.

I purchased 2 sheets of 1800x2400 melamine, cut them to size and fitted those to the windows.

Now no one can see in but the venetians still blow away but now I don't care.

One benefit is it keeps the cold, heat and light out.

Now you have sorted the bright light comming in through the windows now draw the verticals together and tie a ribbon around the bottom weights that will slow them down a bit and stop any damage happening.

Good idea with the melamine, don’t get much light through them anyway!

Hark at you lot with your fancy curtains & vertical blinds! - Posh!
