HOW BIGS YOUR SHED !!!

DON NOBLE · Post by **DON NOBLE** » Tue Jul 10, 2007 12:42 pm

People got to be chatting about sheds in the Qld meeting thread , so figured i would start a new thread here .
When i was married i had my dream shed built 9 x 7.5 mtrs double roller doors and was green . Fitted my 2 x Desotos in there and plenty room to work .
Said shed left my life 10 yrs ago when i got unmarried .

!0 yrs ago i started my business and got a bigger shed ( no its not at home ) . Its 9 x 25 mtrs . And i,m proving the point that , it doesnt matter how big your shed is you will still fill it up . Some times we even try and fill it up with DLRA people at our meetings , but i have to clean it out to do that .

Well you've seen mine , at least if you've been to LSR.com you have.

When we started the belly-tank I had a big four-car with a rolling slab, nice. The house I own now has a dog kennel that is falling down in which we built the car , the capping is missing off the western end , the only window is expanded metal and the doors don't lock, the floor would give any concreter a good laugh( you busy Bob?) and when I got the house re-wired the sparky said "um , no , I'll have to disconnect that power " so theres a 20A weatherproof on the back of the house to get power to it....Oh yeah it's got an asbestos cement roof ,so ,short of wading around in nuclear waste with a guillotine on a frayed rope above your head it's about as bad as it gets. :oops:

Oh yeah and it's painted that pinkish brown color that they used to paint Railways buildings in , what a bucking emfarassment :lol:

And when the car's running it looks like the shed is idling
At least you can get into your shed
I look at my shed, which is bigger than Goggles shed, and think how the *uck am I going to get in there to do any work.
It's got two V8's and two V6's on engine stands four bikes, five scooters and a moped. Assorted transmissions and scooter engines side car bodies, and that's just the big shed
I have a yard full of old scooters, two bikes in the front bedroom (yes I am single and it's my house) I have most of a Bimota DB1 and a CB 1100R in the roof along with assorted blower kits and bike wheels.
Then there is the Monaro (which is not for sale) and it's bits.
In fact, if I lived 'til I wass 106 i would still not finish half of the projects that are sitting around at my place.
Then there is the stuff at work
Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhggggggggggggg

My 12m x 4m is puny in comparison to the sheds at Big Gazza's Jag Ranch. I remember years ago there were 14 cars in the "big" shed + about a sixth of the floor space was taken up with storage and there was enough room left over for a game of basketball.

The shed then filled to overflowing with junk and they decided to build a lean-to that was the same size as the "big" shed, it too is now full. The Jag sits in the "little" shed which is about 10m x 25m.

My "tiny" shed caused an uproar that almost ended up with the developer of our estate taking me to court for breach of covenant. It turned out the council approved the construction without checking the rulebook for the estate. I was none the wiser :wink:

and gladly accepted the free trees they gave me to hide it from the rest of the estate. So in my entire neighbourhood I have bragging rights to the biggest shed!!! Also, as a consequence of driveway, house, pergola, pool + shed, our 800 sqm block has a lawn area of 10 sqm.

It's not the size of your shed that matters, it's how you use it :lol:

It is not "They who die with the most Toys Win." but
"They who have the most fun playing with them Win."
