Paint storage

7 years ago

Hi - my paint has to be kept in the outdoor shed as there is no room in the house. Just got some out from last year but it has gone off. What is the best way to store - wrap in bubble wrap ??? Thank you.

Have you got a loft you can store it in?

paint does have a shelf life so even if its kept from frost etc it will still breakdown over time

I have seen these stairs via various links for a long time now. I think they are great BUT only if they self close. Imagine someone grabbing shoes on their way out late at night then in the night you go downstairs - only one of the stairs is an open drawer 1/2 full of shoes. Is it crash, bang, wallop or are there a couple of extra bangs and crashes to add in there? I think I would add small lights in each drawer that come on when the drawer opens (there are little LED units that are activated by them being moved away from the metal/magnet bit like the burglar alarm sensors you have on doors and windows. Apart from lighting the contents of the drawers it would also alert anyone coming down stairs that they are open. For us though 2 or 3 stair drawers wouldn't be enough. We have a shoe "cabinet" that is from IKEA. It stands about 7 feet tall and has 4 wardrobe doors. Unlike one commenter above who had to cut down wardrobe carcasses to do this here in Malaysia IKEA sells wardrobe carcasses in 3 depths - including the one we have for shoes that is just the right depth. IKEA even have all the slanting shelves etc. (we initially also had some pull out frames with vertically mounted shoe trees to hold your shoes. I don't recommend these. Stick to either shelves or slanted racks) Sadly, 7 feet high by 8 feet wide still isn't really enough. Granted the highest shelf behind 2 doors of the cupboard is reserved for shopping bags/freezer bag etc. but I only use about 1/4 of the now overflowing cupboard and there are only two of us. Any idea why this would be the case anyone? (luckily my wife won't be reading this - I hope!)

Hi Thank you for your message. Is your builders based in the London se area? Would love to achieve the same but in our small cellar area. We need to ensure that the builders of our choice is experience in that area of work. Not someone that is not able to fullfil the brief. It Would be great if l could have a discussion with your builders, hope that you don't think l am being cheeky again would be very much appreciated. Thanks!

You're right about not having a piece of furniture on both sides as that will feel much too tight. I can see a socket next to the radiator, can the telephone be connected to that and moved on top and then you've just got to sort the hub. I think it's about trying to move it away from there rather than make a shelf or something. Can you put the connector on the other side of the wall? Is there a second internet socket in the house that can be used instead Can you run the cable (with long cable) around to the radiator/ under the rug. Otherwise I think a small shelf perhaps reasonably high might be the best thing to try and not make it the feature of the hallway!

I would change the storage area directly next to the door, so that it's ceiling to floor, and create out of plywood deep boxes that act like drawers to store gloves and hats etc. Making it out of ply would create a modern look, but can be painted white like the rest of your hallway so to blend in. Think something like the image attached but wider and not as deep.
