Heya..

Bit of a wierd question, but I was just wondering what your sheds/garages look like?

The reason why im wondering this is because im about to strip the insides of my rather fucked up shed and do a real nice job of it to make it nice to work in, as im planing to do alot more work on the bikes.

Pictures would be great, but just list the sort of things you think makes yours unique, or maybe the things you think let your shed down.

I havnt got pictures of mine and havnt got a digi camera but I can tell you its made out of old wood which was once painted but is now starting to chip, its got one long bench at one end, and shelfs everywhere else, with a space in the middle to work in.

Im planning to make metal work tops, tile the floor, insulate it, get proper lights in it, a good stero system, and use metal lockers as well as shelfs.

Well, the pic is from last year when I had my NSR250 and was fixing it up and spraying it etc...

The old bed on the right has now gone. Where the bike is I now have a sort of desk come work bench with my FZR400 in front of it, and on the right, infront on the racks, I have loads of ZXR750 bodywork and then the latest ZXR-M2. The racks I have at the back are great, and even though the garage looks small, there is enough room for my two bikes and space to work on them.

My only complaint would be that I have no power to the garage, and need to run an extension lead out there when I need some.

Got the front half of an integral garage for the bike and bike stuff then a bolthole of a shed to get out of the way and do repairs and experimenting.
Amazing what you can get in a 10'x6' shed, theres two bench drills, grinder and a bandsaw set up as well that you can't see Mr. Green

the door hinges are broken so you have to lean the door in place but then the wind blows it off anyway

the roof bit blows around a bit at the edge too

its contents are loads of paving slabs from when i took up the slabs to get a garden, and assorted stuff that most ppl wd consider rubbish that might come in useful one day

its a metal frame with plastic corrugted bits

Quite tidy, most of the essentials; cleaning equipment, tools, quite good for space. There's usually a strange man in it most weekends, sometimes follows me out biking. Apparently I'm related to him Confused

*Wonders if Big Pete still reads this forum*

His 'shed' is so well equipped and spacious it has its own trademark (no, really!).
