Open the windows at night to let the cool air in, then close them in the morning to help keep it in. That will help too.

Radiant heat in the floor. Air Conditioning. Insulation. Refrigerator. Bathroom. Running water. Ventilation. Any kind of serious flooring. Excellent overhead lighting, and lots of localized lighting for specific work areas. More amps than you think you'll need!

They're clearly designed so the base and wheels slide underneath something so the post with the index holes in it can get close enough to lift something out. As someone else said, might be homemade engine lifts.

Photos look great. Love the bike too!

Nice piece of work.

Warms my heart. 40 years ago, I used to live 2 blocks away from where that machine was built. Sad day when they left Bridgeport. Nice project.

If you don't watch the news you're uniformed, but, if you do watch it, you're misinformed.

farging icehole!

Very slick. beautifully executed.

Thanks! I offset the the door so the motorcycle will be closer to the left wall and lean that way when it's parking leaving more room for other stuff. Sure is great to have skilled friends to help out with these things!

OK, here's a bunch of photos showing the build. My buddies Jack and Tony came over to help. Jack is a carpenter by trade with all the right tools and years of experience. Took us about 8 hours to build this complete. Could have done it in 7 if we resisted the beer! But that wouldn't have been as...

The shed is done! Photos tomorrow!

Good point but I don't see it going anywhere with a 600 lb motorcycle in it.

I'm using PT lumber for the floor joists, plywood flooring and roof. I may roll a coat of wood sealer on it all before I start the build just for good measure.

Not really concerned. The shed is a good distance from the house and I figure, everyone's gotta live somewhere. There are a lot of garages and sheds really close by in my neighborhood that make much better homes for vermin. It'll be OK. Just bought the materials to make it 8 x 10. $1028...

No. I'm going to lay out 40 or 50 bricks in an 8ft x 10ft pattern and build the shed on top of the bricks. There will be bricks supporting all the joists and the perimeter of the shed allowing air to flow underneath the shed so the wood won't rot and the shed will stay dry inside.

HOLY ****! Almost $1600 in materials! Looks like my 10 x 12 is going to become an 8 x 10. I need to save some gas money for the motorcycle this summer!

Ha! Wish I had the space to make it "drive thru!" That would be great. Unfortunately, "she" has ideas on putting some gardening **** in their too.

Those pier blocks look interesting. I'll look into it. Thanks!

Some great suggestions. I'd love to build it without a floor because it's easier to roll the motorcycle in an out, but the more I think about it, the more I get concerned that the concrete will just wreak havoc on the bike during the winter as it warms and cools and releases a lot of moisture...
