Planning on insulating the roof and walls soon. Need to make a ramp into it so I can ride the bike in a bit easier.

Got a vinyl player and speakers hooked up earlier!

tis bigger than my house!!

Certainly will drewpy hopefully it will knock a bit off the next bikes insurance....whenever that will happen is anyones guess though hahaha

Tommy your right a few of us passed about the same time and i do need to update the picture!

Getting more looks now without the L plates....but i'm sure some of the people that know a bit about bikes can see it's a smaller capacity engine

Waverley and it screw drive partner Balmoral still get here in the summer, in spite of one spat when they got banned by Lundy island for one of em buggering off and leaving a load of passengers there when the weather turned suddenly a few years ago, and they had to be put up on the is,and overnight and rescued by the Oldenburg the next day .

I just bought a 18' x 9' steel shed. I put down the concrete base last weekend.

I will try and erect the shed in the next week.

I cant wait to finally have a home for my bike/s.

I will have to insulate it, put up shleves, build a work bench.

I'm snookered with putting power in though. My fuse board is by my front door and the shed is out the back, it would be a mammoth job to pull a cable from there.

Anyway, pics will follow.

at the beginning of this thread is a picture of my sheds,

due to the quirky layout of our housing estate our rear garden extends back further than either of the flanking houses so they are in a kind of no mans land with other gardens to the rear butting on,

it's actually pretty peaceful during the week especially,

however...while trying to get a push bike sorted this week

been listening to this woman getting more and more exasperated with her, apparently, very naughty grandchildren, it's both slightly irritating and funny

I just happen to know she is a teacher or ex-teacher because I had to go round when we were hanving a fence put up to get her agreement etc....

just reminds me of a certain irrasible teacher I had at primary school all those years ago, somebody with no tolerance totally unsuited to teaching :spin2:

thinking about getting a quote for a power supply to the shed, would involve external socket to the house which would be good for the lawn mover plus a cable to the shed, distance of about 20m given the route it would have to take underground - power to the shed must be useful for light, radio and tools.

I needed 30m of armoured cable, an rcd consumer unit and a spare space in the main fuse box in the house. The cable came in at £1.80p/m and the rcd was about £30. My mate was a spark so did the job for a beer and cost price for the stuff. I already had 4 double sockets and boxes as well as 3 core cable from a previous job. I wired up all the sockets and the 2 flourescent lights and my pal wired it to the rcd then into the house mains

that's helpful, hmm going to be quite expensive then....and I'll have to underground the cable myself across a patio. A generator just isn't a practical proposition though.
