    Well, here's shed that got away. Last year when I was looking for places near Phoenix, Arizona, this place popped up with garage that was larger than house!!!

    It had lift and 2nd-story loft for storage. Real estate listing didn't even show any photos of house, just this garage, so I didn't take look. They had open-house that weekend and sold it on the spot! Grrr... should've gone to look at it beforehand..

    That's not a garage, that's a Paradise

    So... I finally got back to the garage setup on sunday... finished most of the wiring and the new hibay LED lights... made a big difference during the day and then tonight was the first chance I had to get up there at night to get some pics...
    Very happy with the results

    Looks like we scored some free steel. Have to transport it now and convert it into a shed.

    The shed has to start somewhere @maelstrom that looks to be as good a start as any :)

    That is a pretty good size shed @maelstrom

    So how many bikes can you fit in a 6m x 6m shed leaving enough space to work on at least one? My best guess is about 13 comfortably. Make sure you have good lighting, makes life easier when you have old eyes like mine.

    I have 8 "complete" (I use that term loosely :D) bikes .... 2 are bird shite collectors ... in other words "spares" bikes , so they wont make the cut
    I would prefer the other 6 to be setup so that any one can be worked on at any time without any ,or minimal, moving about.

    Good lighting is a given .... and it will have 101 power points , so I never have to use a power board or extension cord ever again in my remaining life :cool:
    It will also have wall and ceiling insulation and probably split system aircon.
    Power roller door also so I dont have to get off the bike when going out and back in :imtheking:
