I find the argument that just because someone has a room of their own they should be left to treat it how they want, to be a little shortsighted. I have seen this taken to ridiculous lengths. Neighbours of mine whose cat I feed when they are away, have a similar arrangement to the one described by Lyndylou - he collects newspapers and has the daily copy of a particular paper going back twenty years or so. These things began life being piled up on top of each other, but now the piles are so high that they spill onto the floor, the room is a complete tip, and moths have moved into the house generally. His wife takes the view that he won't do anything to clean it all up, but he's now started to create his pile of paper in another room. This is a sign of mental disorder, and frankly I think Lyndylou that if your partner is creating his own little island in your home he is looking just for a roof over his head and not a relationship. Your house, and therefore your rules - ban the tools and their possible rusty smell to the shed and make him tidy up, otherwise you might start to find dirty plates and rotting food in his 'bed' room.
