I really really did not want to do that, so I have sort of taken time out of house stuff to get this sorted, as my thinking is if I have somewhere nice to work where I can find my tools it will make everything easyer down the line..

I was planning the inside before the walls were built😮 Things like where the side door was i.e. Could I get a useable space behind it (next project) there was many nights out there, working out sizes and where stuff should go and how stuff would fit.


Thanks lads

Lol it looks like photo bucket wants me to put £400 so I can stick pics on here.

Has anyone got a better way of doing this ? For 3rd party hoisting

So as I was off my feet so to speak 🤔 I got thinking I could be doing something better with my time..

So I got in the shed and got sorting out what was in there as it seemed like a right dumping ground.

So got busy making some shelfs for the loft.

As this build thread / life story is on page 97 I am sure lots of pics have been stole by Photo BAC so I will try my hardest to restore as May of the pics as I can, as we ALL need to make a little effort to keep TM alive..

When I started this I had no idea what the hell PB was I had to get a mate to load them as I was to beef to work it out, I think I still had a good old Nokia on the go, as I used to keep a camera in my tool box for pics for here 😂😂 where now it's a quick pic and it's in the clouds for ever.
