Here's the latest iteration of my musings. Excuse the scale. French cleats to the right, maybe. There will be more shelving in the cupboards to the left, too. If I set this up right, store elsewhere all the things that don't belong (here's hoping), and cull everything else, I think this...

The more I think about the layout of this space the more I wonder about my current design. Firstly, I'm questioning the viability of having a recess in the bench for a stool. I'd still use the back wall for storage, but maybe I'd be better off with full depth cupboards or even a shallow...

Thanks rvieceli. Eric's done a great job with that small space. I envy his finds and also the winter weather and the justification for a wood stove. What I wouldn't give for proper winters...

Hi Bill, I'm going to struggle to respond without sounding like I'm being negative, so apologies in advance: it's not deliberate! Yes, it's the dark one (heaven only knows why the previous owners went with a dark roof in this climate). As far as enclosing the carport goes, I want to be...

Cheers 1/2 Cup. Yeah, maybe I'll end up having to build a shed somewhere. Something small and suitably camouflaged along the back fence (opposite corner to the cubby house you can see there from above) may get across the line with my better half. If you're wondering why there's only one...

Cheers guys. 1/2 Cup, I'll definitely check out those threads. With the exception of the 12 Gauge Garage (which is how I found this forum in the first place), I'd not seen any of those builds. I do keep noticing though that every garage I see that fits my ideal is significantly larger than...

Hello all, So, we've taken possession of our new house and I'm in the process of trying to work out how to squeeze everything in. I've included some photos of the space I have to work with, which is 6850mm x 3160mm (approx 22' x 10' - I guess this is an American forum, and I'm asking for help...

Thanks afie. Will check them out. Although it's as good as a done deal following a conversation I had on Friday. Maxxplanck, if only I could! The shipping would be a killer. The cabinets I'm looking at are 725mm deep, so that depth is about right akdiesel. For those who are interested...

Cheers Mate. I need to subscribe to my own thread? Odd. I'll adjust to the way of things here no doubt. BTW, great stuff you've got going on with your various sheds. I'm part way through a couple of your threads. Very jealous. My mum's in Elphinstone so I'm around your way from time to...

Hello all, I'm in the process of moving from a large garage and workshop down to a small one car garage approx. 3.2m x 6.9m (or 10.5' x 22.6'). I don't know how this happened but it's too late to turn back now. One thing I'm looking at doing to make it more palatable is to rid myself of a lot...

Oh, and moving from Perth to Brisbane. Wynnum to be precise.

Thanks guys. Will do. Not sure why I didn't receive notification of your replies. I'm sure I'll work it out. Will be sure to PM re the local group. Some serious work to be done re my move so I'll need all the help I can get.

Hello! I've browsed this site a few times in the past but have only just joined so I can get a bit more involved and pick a few brains. I'm in Australia and am about to move from one coast to the other, foregoing my dedicated shed/workshop in the process. I'm none too pleased about this...
