Hi wiseboy

was it you that cleaned up or the highwinds that blew through or was it because the winds blew everything in there you had to clean up

i get no wind in my shop or verry litle as it is closed in 3 sides witch keeps the wind from blowing threw.

i do get a slight drift down the driveway and in the far end (second photo) witch keps the dust away the air fresh and me cool.

i could not stand to be stuck into an enclosed workshop all day where as i can stay in there for as long as i have work to do.

with makeshift 4 x 1 fence (soon to be alloy channel) worked like a charm.

Hi Wiseboy,

What a great shed mate. Just love that open side with a view of greenery. Are they mango trees I spy there? Wander out for a home grown feed come Christmas.

Does it get a bit chilly in winter, being open and all?

Cheers

there is a nice little table in process (in first new pic)

we sell the mangos of the trees. we also had over 7 acres of banabas but they got bunchy top.

now all we got is the 50 mangos, 10 avacados, and about an acre of rockmelons, tomatos, spuds and cucumbers,

Crikey mate, that lot should keep you busy in the garden.

Nice 'little' table in progress there!

Keep us posted on that one.

Cheers
