Well, its been a busy few days for me :D

I've got a new little toy coming to me soon, so I've had to take control of my shed space :o
We've only been in this house for, ohhhh, about 5 years now :(, and I'm still finding boxes I've never unpacked :D ( feels a bit like xmas).

The sheds a double garage, with a shortish single garage behind that, which then opens out to a space beside the kitchen/lounge, which is under cover as well, we use this area to do the BBQing entertaining, smoking etc. So all up, its quite a large area, most guys would be happy with this I'm guessing.
As it stands, I can barely walk through the shed to the roller door to get out to the front, certainly cant wheel the mower through there :angel:
So, its time to clean up, reshuffle, store, or at least create storage, so as to clean an area and make a workshop for my toy. :D
As happens, in order to get into order, jobs need to be done, ones that have been waiting patiently, or someone has procrastinated (S?), so they dont get done.
First up were my old tyres off the D1, these have been kept to do some "mudding" with the Puma, have had them on a couple of times, but two keep going flat, tried to get them fixed, but to no avail, so I guess "I" need to do it :mad:. Three are actually leaking, and quite badly too. Bugger.

So, having solved that issue as to why, they've been put aside to do when I have some space.

So next, I have to make room to see whats going on with the tools side of things. So out everything comes from the far side and the floor, make a few little bags of rubbish along the way, some recycling too :D (save the planet an' all).
I already have a "little" workbench, it just has a bench drill, grinder and a vice on it, with no "workspace" as such. So I'll keep this, just make some drawers to hold drills, grinding pads and stuff. Underneath sits my compressor, and I need some shelving too, one can never have enough storage space. :D
I hoard a few things :angel: with the very best intensions of putting stuff to good use. Well, a few years ago, I pulled out my old cabinet from my bathroom up in Albury, threw the cabinet, but kept the draws,,,, bonus at last ;). I'll attach these under my bench :cool: Problem solv'ed ;)

This is the other side to which a couple of months ago I made a half decen sized workbench to actually work on. As you can see, crap everywhere.

This is my little workbench I've been working on this weekend.

Now I just need to do the other side, then that'll be the "single shed" part done. :D Slowly slowly.

That's my next job. I've got 2 4m x 3m workshops and I can get into one of them. The other one I tend to open the door and throw. :p

That's a concrete floor. I don't think I've seen that floor before.
Good to see you're practicing. There's another shed to clean.

Thats how mine is/was. Used to come home from camping, take everything out of the car, and straight onto the floor. Now we've got the camper, I dont really have to do that now :D
Plus all Leeannes stuff (moving and joining two households) and then some stuff from her fathers, (he moved into a home), it just all adds up :(

Thats a very tidy workshop mate...

The state mines in is atrocious at the moment... And having nearly broken my back last week doing a 205kg Dead-lift that went bad, it wont be getting sorted this week...

Plus I have the camper in there getting some love, a freshly knocked out hole in my lounge wall to frame and the lads D2 now needs the starter rebuilt...

And lets not talk about the gardens...

I find its good to regularly move house. Its amazing how much stuff you throw out if you adopt the rule that if you haven't used it for a year you really don't need it.
That said, I really need to clean out the back shed. Time for a tip run.

NOOOOOO... thats why we bought a house that was built in 1860 that we are the 4th owners of. 10 years later I still haven't scratched the surface of the crap that was stashed in the stables in the 1930's (judging from the newspapers)
I'm hoping to contribute a triple garage of "History" to that tally in the next 20 years or so....

Im totally ashamed with my shed,12mx6m and its chockers full.
It doesnt help having a 98% completed camper trailer in there and a D4 hiding from the elements.
Too many toys in my shed:p:p:p:p
Hard decision to make at the moment.My boat hasnt moved since Deb got crook,and it wont any time soon,she says she isnt going out on the water again:(:(:(.I have well over $25000 tied up there.It may be in for a wash and a gumtree post soon:(:(:(:(:(

We once culled a five bedroom house with double garage down to a suitcase each and got on a plane and flew overseas to live, so it can be done.
