Thread: Junkboy"s Play room. Shed

wow! awesome amount of space, Terry. Where'd all your tools go?

G'day Junkboy999,

With all that room you've got plenty of space to fill with some beaut machinery. Nasty stuff having the bench nicked from the place before you bought it. First on the list - build a bench.

Mmmm, gotta love sheds.

Terry,

WOW! Mate, that is a shed & a Half! You could hire it out for Basket Ball trainning & still have room for wood work. At first glance, I thought it was the New Yanky Workshop.

As Zen Said, Where are the tools?

Terry

Thats absolutely awesome. I feel as green as when Sturdee shows off his workshop. So that's Kansas, but the road don't look yellow and where's Dorothy?

Over here that type of building is called a Quaker Barn and can be bought in kit form.

Yours is the first two storey shed I've heard of. Like the others I'm interested to know where all the tools went?

Awesome looking shed/warehouse

There has gotta be a new law put in place to stop people posting pics of their great sheds so suckers like me dont get jealous

Much bigger than mine Terry. Looking at the shed makes me think that your name of Junkboy is misnamed.

I feel just as green as Bodgy looking at all that space and headroom. Looking forward to the next instalment.

Peter.

Thanks Guys for the kind words..

This is the only way to really get your shed clean. first you have to remove everything. This allows you to get a good sweep in. Just gotta watch the people driving by thinking your having a yard sale. This is how the shed was before the moving van came. I had them drop every thing in there but the Bed, computer, and the TV them 2 weeks later off to the Desert for a 90 trip

Ya I love the room. With no SHMBO worrying about how big the kitchen is and how many baths the house has, I was able to get Fixer-up-ER with a shop I wall ways wanted.

Ticky
The New Yanky Workshop it is not but I would love to have a great shop like that and have Norm standing by showing me mew tricks.

Bodgy
Yep this is Kansas. I haven't seen Dorothy or the yellow brick road. One thing for sure I not looking forward to seeing a Tornado either. And if Sturdee had this much space can you just imagine how much stuff he could squeeze in there

Oges
Thanks. As far as a small shops goes, I can show you pic of me working in the driveway where I lived in a house with 4 other GI’s, or working on my car in the parking lot of a Dorm, or my router table in the bathroom of a one bedroom apartment. I wanted this and I going flaunt it.

Sturdee
Thanks. I think I have read just about every one of your post and still amazed ever time I read them again I’ll let you use the top of my shop, plenty of room up there that is not being used at the moment


More Pics comming

Hi Terry,

Fantastic looking, and VERY big (two storey!!) shed you have there. I'm green

You might need a furnace though, as I believe it can get a little, ahem!, cool in winter thereabouts...

Good luck in filling all that lovely space

Cheers!

The title of the Picture below is called " Really Really Board "

nice shed, plenty of room.

I always was of the opinion that my 6m x 12m was more than adequate...Haaaaaaaaaa
Wrong, I've managed to fill it and now need more room.
A broom and licenced operator wouldn't go astray though.
Nice looking shed JB, I have seen them here but that design is not the most popular with the American barn being flavour of the month at the moment.

Steve B
Yes. I will be putting in a furnace when money permits. I leaning to one made by the company MODINE and is called "Hot Dawg" Not sure what you guys / gals are using for your sheds if heated at all.

Looks can be deceiving. The pic’s of the empty shop where taken with my Minolta and a 28 mm lens, almost a "fish eye" Although there is a lot of room the shop suffers from a condition called Maximus-Spaces-Cramus. In layman's terms, The more space you have, the more stuff you cram in there, reducing the space you have, increasing your want for more space so you can get more stuff to ..... you get the picture. Iain knows what I’m talking about.

Guess I’m lucky.
As far as the shape of the shop. It was the rage a few years back. There are 4 on my block. Two of them are smaller and one is huge The guys that build this shop, built it with a shop in mind. There are 18, 110v outlets, Natural gas fitting, and Phone. I have added the 220 V for the band saw, the cable, video line, and the Air line

Pic1. This is another board Pic showing the location for all the goodies. The 110 outlets in the open space are mounted on the ceiling for lights or drop down power leads.

Pic.2 & 3 shows what the video line is for. I can watch the glue dry in the shop while watching This old house or the New Yankee Workshop

Helloo Hellooo hellloo hello

Hey what's with the echo Terry!! You'll have to fill the shed with that big list of drool toys to get rid of the echo. Bet you are going to have fun doing that.

Cheers
Wendy
