How high do i need to go for Hoist?

4m is the average clearance, u may get away with lower depending on the individual make.

I'd love to have a keg or even a beer fridge in my shed, but there just isn't the room. What's worse is that i may be moving for work, meaning i'll be about 1.5-2 hrs away from my shed thru the week. :cry: BUT i will be making the $$ needed to get some of the projects around my house & shed on the go again, so the trade off is probably worth it.

Cheers

Pretty easy to rig up all you need is to find a keg, the regulator and coupler I bought from a home brew shop but they are often on ebay as are kegs.

The tricky bit is removing the spear to fill the keg with beer, I brew 50litres at a time of morgans australian draught, takes about 4 days to ferment then once in the keg I pressurise it to 185kpa of CO2 for 3 days in the fridge at 5 degrees, you can start drinking it then after lowering the keg pressure to about 5psi.

Best after about two weeks if you can leave it alone for that long.

Tastes better than tooheys draught, nice and clear no sediment or anything like that. Works out about 30 cents a schooner.

Has saved me loads of money, more for the torrie.!!

Cheers PJ.. :rockon: hic!

After a visit from Dangerous, he encouraged me to post some pics of my shed. This is my first go at showing pics, so I hope it works!
This was nearly 3 years ago, so you can imagine the mess it's in now. All the club spare parts are in there too!

A bit more framework and we're ready to clad it.

this is when we started to move in. Note all Toranas PJ... and yes, the one on the left has a serious chop, but more on that later....
Posted Image
Starting to fill shelves and it's still tidy!!
Posted Image
It's not a 60" Plasma, but.....
Honestly, who plans a busy bee on Bathurst weekend!?!?!? A not-so-busy bee!
Also note fridge.

here is the afor mentioned chop top. It is a club project started several years ago and stalled for a while, but it has recently been relaunched, and we hope to have it ready for Motorvation '09. Fingers crossed!
Now it's messy, just look in the background!

My garage extension just about finished! Was 6 x 9metres until l knocked the back wall out and went another 7metres to the back fence. In the process l have discovered that l don't enjoy any of the following:
1) Dealing with the Council :furious:
2) Engineers committed to ridiculous over design
3) Digging trenches
4) Cleaning bricks

Theres still a 4000 litre water tank to go up in the back corner and then theres just the minor issue of the back yard resembling a bomb site!

Nice work V-SLR5000-P! Having an extra 7 metres of depth like that must make a HUGE difference.

RIM - love the Foster light sign mate! As soon as my shed is built, I want to get 3 different brands of those to hang up down a side wall. I was close to buying some a while ago, but I don't have anywhere to store them yet!

MODNIZD - how big is your block? I'm surprised they are trying to limit you to only 6 x 6. Get up em mate and sort them out!!!!

I am currently plotting evil plans for my shed, and will start 'negotiations' with the council at some stage to see what I'm allowed to do. I hope I don't get grief!

Im doing the sums at the moment for a house.

Looking at a house with severe termite damage. BUT its brick and tile, and if we get it at the right price, all will be well.

And fingers crossed the bank will lend me the extra i need for a 6x6 shed.

Mum bought that Fosters sign about a squillion years ago from a sale. There's a big Caltex sign in there somewhere aswell, I think...
