Been too busy splitting from the misses so have been sorting out finances, working on houses, selling houses, buying houses but as a result I have not one but two sheds at my new place.

    The first is more of a fully enclosed carport with rollerdoor at both ends. Not too sure of dimensions but fits my pathfinder, a 7x4 cage trailer, 2 x motorbikes and a heap of storage room on the side

    The second is a shed out the back about 7x4 meters. Needs a bit of work to make watertight and secure but will sort that out over the next week or two. Looking forward to setting this up as a bit of a workshop/ man cave (but then again the house is a man cave with push bikes and surfboards living inside)

    First thing to do is secure and make watertight then thinking of sealing the floor, making a few work benches, power and lighting and of course more bikes!!!

    roof is going on this wednesday- would have liked to do it myself but knee is an indian curry and giving me hell.could have got fitted cheaper in 3 weeks but what is an extra 100 bucks for almost immediately.gutter is up on 1 and half sides and floor has been swept. killed an aldi drill so bought another and original is being replaced under warranty.came in for materials about 2k under kit quote.all up guesstimate 8 k for 4x7.75 with 3.1 metre walls.this includes the slab.

    roof and last part of gutter went on today in 2 hours and 3 workers.roofers who worked as a team in screwing and passing.i think they used most of the screws i provided so close to 400 went in the roof. if the wind gets the roof i might see a flying slab.lol.

    openned the 2 pak paint carton last night ready to paint today but the instructions said to etch the floor first. that was done after i retensioned the roller doors. when the roof went on small changes were noticed on the roller door guide rails. the apprentice used the roller doors to stand on and got a lesson in customer care.windy here and floor drying out but instructions say to leave for 24 hours minimum.paint hopefully on tomorrow.

    couriers please just turned up with the aldi drill replacement. all i can say is an ethical seller whose suppliers honour their warranty. a thumbs up and well deserved.

    2 pak grey paint is now on the floor with various coloured plastic confetti thrown over it. first part done is touch dry.the etch certainly showed up the concretor,s skill.[or lack of]

    I have overrun dad's shed long enough. I was given a 20foot container to use, but that also filled quickly. So I decided to build a storage shed for 7 bikes: about 4.8x2.2m. I live on the same property as my father, and my youngest brother uses the property to store stuff for his building business. So I raided the spares from my brother to build a shed out of secondhand and discarded items. My cousin got a heap of old pine crates from her work, too - that'll be the floor. IMG_20180912_073536.jpg I have some iron on already, but at my rate, I should have the iron, floor and wheels done next weekend. Yes, wheels. It may need moving in the future, so I'll use old trailer axles and old wheels under it. We have 25acres, and the shed has spilled out over about an acre or so.

    Typical. You get by with a tiny space and when you get plenty of room, you soon fill it and have just as little space as before. Goldfish syndrome? Same happens with budgets, too. :(

    No. But my house used to be about 5x5m.
    Not sure it's man cave quality, but it is very cave like: large open side, water drips through when it rains.. :-D

    Are you going to put a 2nd floor on ? If you pitch the roof, you can put a loft in for parts storage or somewhere to sleep

    Maybe Dad will kick me out when I get the next bike home, maybe I should build a second floor!

    So heres the plan ... as long as the council wankers approve it ..... the old slab is under the required distance from the boundary so that will require some pissing about as I will need a second slab.

    This will give me outside undercover parking and with only 1 larger roller door ... the LC can be half parked inside and still have room to walk around it thru the opening ..... the other side can be fully dedicated to bikes, storage, workshop and man caving , etc ..... glass sliding door and window at the back wall leading onto the outside BBQ , seating etc., paved/landscaped area
