How true Don, but it's still not fair !
(I can't brag, but I can dream I spose!)

and to be quite honest, it wouldn't matter what size shed or equipement some people have, the quality of work would still be the same.
(in oar I spose)

Rod only had half of the statement posted in the old place"They who die with the most Toys Win." and I can not recall if it is in the new place.

What I have posted is more correct and the full statement.

Saw a teeshirt a few years back "HE WHO DIES WITH THE MOST TOYS- STILL DIES" , Think about it! Use wot ya got, and USE it. I've been dead once (at age 23) , so now do what has to be done for today (tomorrow may not happen). Back to the shed's.I need a BIGGER one!I have 2 Aust record holding cars (the 66 Falcon & my T Bucket-D/STR 93.926mph)Gived the paperwork to Webmaster Greg on Sun to correct records. Along with the concrete gear , car parts , etc , there is no room. Chris Hanlon will tell you what NO ROOM means. Things are that bad here , that my Mustang lives in the rumpus room.No more wife , no more arguements! Cheers , Bob ,#66 C/GCC.

Mate you've got to come and visit the new ponderosa.
I've gone from winning the who's got the smallest shed competion (thanks Goggles) at the last place, to this joint.
Mate this is bloody luxury. Not only have l got a flat useable 1.5 acres with a gigantic 9x6m shed and the block comes with a bonus house, hot and cold running water, dog veranda, the whole bit.

Best bit is the budget requires l spend another $x on another shed so i've got nothing else to complain about and we wo'nt have to shift again' (Kathryn hates shifting)
So my delemma is settling on a perfect shed design. Oh so many sheds and so little time, which one to choose.
Help what do I need for the perfect shed.
Chris

Bob - no room in the current shed. You still have enough backyard for many more + you have the mobile garage out the side.....

Help what do I need for the perfect shed

Chris - I think you'll need a heater out your way, it's a bit chilly at the moment

You guys are starting to worry me!
I though my new shed 16m x 8m with a raised roof bay to accomodate the 2 post hoist would have been adequate.
I may have to go back into negotiations with the treasurer before we commence building.

Chris Chris Chris , All ya need in the new shed , is a BEER & BOURBON FRIDGE , something to sit on , and then just scatter all the other shit around the floor.!Then your new shed will be the same as everyone elses!! easy EH! I will get out there soon to help you do the scattering! Make sure the fridge is working (this is most important) , it is impossible to build a fast car while drinking warm beer. Cheers , Bob , # 66 C/GCC.

Some ideas for the Perfect shed (tools excluded):

- Warm in winter- well insulated (but well ventilated); radiant heaters
- Cool in Summer - natural air crossflow, fan assist in roof.
- Infinite storage: an accesible place for every tool, device and more
- Sufficient height enough for car lift, engine hoist etc.
- Solid benches that you can bash things on, with edges that you can clamp
- A LEVEL floor and smooth so you can measure from, roll things on etc.
- a sound proof room for air compressor
- Decent general lighting and task lighting
- Fridge
- Secure so you don't worry when away
- A door for entering separate to the main door.
- Overhead beams that leads, lights, hoists etc can be attached to
- Paint or noxious material cupboard (lockable to stop accidents with kids, my brother visited a house once and was found in the garage drinking the kero)
- plenty of power points
- places to sit and admire a good days work, (or where bludger mates can sit)
- spray booth with fan
- mats for your feet: standing on concrete all day is tiring
- three phase (if your going big tools)
- telephone line (internet too)
- dog

I wrote this list by simply thinking of the things that we don't have...

All great ! You forgot the big stereo

Don't need no phone line Rev.Hedgash,

In the workshop, office, kitchen,lounge even out back in the entertainment area, sitting back .....next to the water feature.....sipping a coldie.... with the barbie going......ah.......who needs the internet :lol:

Dear Reverand, Re: Perfect shed.

-Warm in winter? Not here in Brizvegas
-Cool in summer? not here
-Infinite storage? ON THE FLOOR!
-Sufficient hieght? Get a LOWER CAR!
-Solid benches? Believe it or not! ,Have done reinforced conc benches !
-A Level smooth floor? Can do that too.( But not cheap!)
-Sound proof comp room? To hell with the nieghbours!
-Decent lighting? OK , ya got me there!
-Fridge?WHAT THE HELL YA THINKIN', FRIDGE IS 1ST ON LIST (and BEER)
-Secure? That's wot Kaiser is for (58kg German Shepard)
-Separate door?Man,ya crack me up! Can't use it for the shit up against it.
-Overhead beams?Ya gettin' worse! Can't use 'em for the shit hangin' up!
-Paint? The shed's full! Use the laundry cupboards!
-Power points? Ya got me again!
-Places to sit? NEXT TO THE FRIDGE!! Bludgers GO HOME!
-Spraybooth? Backyard on a windy day!
-Mats for feet? Buy UGG Boots (Working with concrete ALLDAY , IS tiring)
-Threephase? Only got medium size tools? Use 2phase (2/3rds the price!!)
-Dog? Can't be in the shed without Kaiser (He wont let me out there on my own - he knows i get scared)
-Phone line? That has to be the most STUPID thing anyone could have in a shed,can't get things done with the phone ringing!
Cheers , Bob. #66 C/GCC.
