A little progress

cheers Hunter

well it been a while ,lots going on personally and not much time for working in the shed but this last few days i've decided to get a push on and paint the thing  

as the shed is large i can't heat it effectively so got an old gazebo which was damaged and made repairs to it.

my idea is to put it up in a corner of the shed and put the sides on ,providing me with a 10x10 spray booth of a sort,hopfully easier to heat and maybe next weekend start painting woohoo

used u channel to repair and strenghten the damaged bit



 the roof stays up again and the trike fit's ,so what do you think of my idea for a gazebo booth,will it do the job ?

[Mendalot]

THATS NOT A SHED !!!  its a bloody aircraft hanger    Good idea with the gazebo, will also help keep the dust off the fresh paint.

Good God Wish my 'shed' looked like that.
The gazebo is a great idea. Just don't asphyxiate yourself while spraying inside it.

[scannerzer]

Lol yeh good size looks a bit industrial beside a small bungalow but you can never have too much space! Bought a twin filter mask to help with the asphyxiation problem not brilliant but better than nothing. I'll paint the small bits first and see how I get on

Is that actually beside your house?! I assumed it was where you worked!

[scannerzer]

  i work in a motorfactor and yep behind the house took me years to save up to build it before that i used  an old lorry body for a shed so it was a bit of a step up

[Manky Monkey]

I'm impressed! Why's it so tall?

[scannerzer]

well i was working for a local car dealer in my spare time and he had a recovery lorry which was always being upgraded with extra lights etc but had to be done outside as he didn't have a big enough shed so i built one it would fit in....but now i don't work there and the shed never even saw his lorry typical !

what i would now like to do is put a loft in it at least for 1 link which i then could put all the junk that gets gathered up in to save me floor space...time to start saving again

[Manky Monkey]

A mezzanine floor -just what I was thinking.

my new workshop/shed is going to end up costing around 6k  and i bet   its less the one 6th of the size 

[scannerzer]

it's not cheap putting up a shed, i need to get it plastered as damp is seaping through the block and i'm getting quoted silly money and there was me thinking with the construction downturn someone would be glad of a few quid on the sly

[scannerzer]

well it's finished what do you think?

put in a few lights to help with shadows
