Manky Monkey Motors

Hi all. I have to dismantle my "new" garage on Saturday and move it home. If anyone lives near Bacup and facies helping me tale it down it would be appreciated. Bacon butties provided

Where abouts is that Andy?

The bacon butties are tempting but you are 200 miles too far away I'm afraid.

Hi guys. Bacup is north of bury, which is north of manchester
 a long way up from you i think

Sorry mate your 161 miles away from me, to far for a bacon buttie

230 miles from us!!! bit far.

Ha ha, seems like monkeys prefer the southern climbs  :)

273 miles - no ta!

Well we got it down and (mostly) carted it back home on top of the Galaxy. Big clean up and get ready for reassembly tomorrow.

Sorry we couldn't help you Andy.

Hope it goes well for you and that the weather stay's good

No problem guys. I just ate all the Bacon butties.

yesterday was AWFUL - but today was lovely.

So here is the old tarp garage coming down, did well as a starter :)

And the ugly duckling before dismantling

Action shot of Will doing the unbolting stuff :)

It's a tardis!

Nice sized workshop.

That or someone's using an estate agents camera. It certainly looks bigger inside, than the outside pics suggested.

Width                                10’
Length                               17’6”
Height Front                    8’4”
HeightRear                       6’6”
Doors – Width                 8’
Height                                6’6”

Camera was my Nokia Lumina Phone

Of course, you haven't asked the obvious ........

did a bit of jet washing some of the panels this evening. Taking forever but they are cleaning up

3 walls are up, and the roof is on. Those steel panels took some lifting on, marking, lifting off, cutting, lifting on, i can tell you. Still, as the roof is on i felt i could have a beer as a topping off celebration

Just one beer ?  :D
If the roof is on then the hard works done. When are you installing the central heating?

Finished. Whoo, Hooooo! And its toasty warm inside as well. Started on a new workbench today. Will get some pics in the light tomorrow.

Hre is the new layout outside, before paintiing

And during pinting. Brown to go on the uprights and roof yet but ran out of time today

Moved in properly over Christmas. Here are a couple of pics

.

And the sign was a christmas present  from SWMBO.

looks nice, mine would say "welcome to the s**t tip"!!!!

bet you don't know yourself Andy all the best in the new qth!

maybe a bit of room for a bit of amature radio?

Funnily enough it would be a good shack. the radio does not work inside at all (faraday shield), so no local qrm gets in. Had to poke a wire out of a hole to get the fm radio to work. WiFi and mobile - no chance!

Nice shed Andy. Love the sign.

Cheers Andy. Ebay bargain, the paint cost more than the shed!

Nice shed Andy.Always feels good to sort all the goodies out and re arrange it all! You probably see things in a different way during the build now and it will give you a bit more impetus.Good Luck.

Cheers Rod. Yes, I have new found enthusiasm, and it's nice to be out of the tent!

Nice. It's so tidy. :)

New years resolution ON. Never been in an engineering shop, in fact my last formal metalwork was at school a long time ago, so im learning on the job. That includes the value of tidying up at the end of each day!

I try to tidy up at the end of the day too. It doesnt always happen though and things get worse and worse. It then takes nearly a day to sort.....my lesson learned? Sometimes!!
