ToranaGuy, dont worry i have used plenty of kitty litter also, and im the same no matter how big the oil pan i have i always seem to spill some somewhere Posted Image

TempesT, my old shed that i had before i bought this joint had the sealer on the slab and like you said so easy to clean up, bit of degreaser and hose the crap out and yep gotta watch out it is pretty slippery when wet Posted Image

So it's not just me who manages to spill oil even with an oil pan, lol. :surrenderwave:

I've just finished removing the tranny from the ED and i have worked out where the next couple of shelves are going to be mounted onto the wall, so i can store some more crap, ermm, i mean usefull car parts lol.

Cheers

Check this out.. When I bought this house the front of my shed looked like this. And me being me, I had to change it to look better!

Posted Image

I painted it cream as it was, but I hated the big doors.. so here is the end result, the only thing I paid for were dynabolts, bolts, 2x U bolts, angle steel (welded up a bracket) and paint (the rest was stuff me or my old man had lying around).

Posted Image

I only put one coat of paint on, need the second (and yes, ill be painting that flashing up the top which I obviously forgot haha)

Oh and I need to install the right hand side flashing too.. Been pre occupied with the hatch atm.

My shed is 6x12 and I outgrew it the day after I moved into this house

I want to go 15 x 7.5 but have to jump through some council hoops , get permission from neighbours and save alot of money first

That's one very cool shed! I wish mine was half as cool as that!

I've finally got my new roof on the shed, and put up a couple new shelves as well. I have been slowly working my way thru fixing up car parts & fitting them to car's, and other parts i've been meaning to sell, well some of them have been sold, so i almost have some room to work in my shed now. :o

My shed is way too small, and you can never have a big enough shed. I could put up a carport here pending money & council approval, but if i really need lots more shed space, i need to buy a factory somewhere lol. I'm half way thru building a "garden shed" to house the garden tools & some car parts i won't be needing for a while, just gotta get it finished to make use of it.

Oh yeah, nothing wrong with having a motorbike in the house, as long as you have tiles or floorboards! When my g/f's bro is over on his bike & crashes the night, his '07 (i think or is it 08?) Triumph Daytona lives in my rumpas room ( because i can't afford to put a pool table in there atm lol - will get one eventually).

Cheers

ToranaGuy
