    So after having a survey done of the property boundaries , Workshop Plan A has been kyboshed.
    Plan B involves a whole new slab so cost has now blown the current budget
    :commando:

    So before summer hits Ive remodelled my living quarters with Plan C
    At least I can now work on the drag bikes ( @Frankster :D )

    Nothing wrong with working inside , at'least it will be more comfortable during those cold day's /night's. This way you can sit there and admire your handy work in comfort.
    Via your picture's you've se up it pretty well , microwave ? too for your meal break's. A swivel swivel chair is handy , this way you can scoot around working on the bike.

    Shed for my K900RS. No ,hang on. It’s my wife’s 1/12 scale model she made recently as part of her many hobbies. Mostly she makes 1/48 scale stuff. My real shed is more cluttered and not as tidy.

    Wife and I have moved home. I now have a garage/carport area to keep my nice bike out of the weather and the possibility to do stuff if necessary. All my tools and stuff are at work though, but it's nice to have.

    My buying agent agreed the idea was good and she managed to find 3.4m x 2.4m x 840 wide set of pallet racking for $250.00
    Hopefully we will take a drive down to Melb on saturday to pick it up... :)

    This lot jumped onto my trailer and followed me home from Shepparton this afternoon...
    2800mm long x 2400mm high and 840mm deep. 2 levels and 2 lighter beams for the backing board.
    Now the fun starts.

    a set of racks is the best investment yet , have the same on the other wall of my 6x6 shed , frees up so much room that iv immediatly taken up with more junk and parts , this is a old photo , fully filled up now so the gremlins have a great time hiding things again

    a true look at the state of the shed , im a messy bastard DSCF1072.JPG have made a lot of room with the racks but the main problems are the blasting cabinet and the the bike lift table , the table is great and wish had one yrs and yrs ago but it just takes up so much room and now i went and bought a parts washer but no where to put it , really dont want to put it outside but maybe no choice ... i need another shed to fill up
