Another ****** Aussie

[blownhemi]

Hi guys, the name is Scott and I'm a motoring journalist from down under.

I decided to ditch the bright lights of the big city for a more relaxed lifestyle in the bush and naturally when we went house shopping I made sure the place had a decent shed.

So my wife is happy she's got a decent sized house to clutter with her crafty shite, the kids are happy because they can run around outside and do what they want on our 1/2 acre block and I'm happy because I can fit 7 or 8 cars in the shed.

At the moment the shed (roughly 18.5m x 8.5m, or 60x30 foot) is a pigsty because I keep doing stuff on cars and not putting every back where it should go. It's needs some serious attention in term of organising stuff and I came here looking for ideas. Seems like there is some nice sheds out there and I'll be spending plenty of time researching ideas.

Anyway, that's enough from me, G'day.

Here's the shed. It's actually messier now than when I took this pic.

There a pretty decent bench with my reloading press bolted to it. It's off to the left hand side up against the wall, but it's covered in stuff at the moment. But yeah another one wouldn't go astray.

18 X 8 **** that's big...besser blocks and a tin roof...looks like a bunker. Mine's 6 x 9 and way too small. It's hardy plank and tin roof. Planing on a bigger tin shed.

I know your pain. When I lived in Sydney we bought a new house in one of the new estates out Liverpool way. It had a single drive through garage. So I got council approval to build a 6x7m two car garage out the back, and it still wan't enough.

Now we have a double drive through carport out the front, a covered area out the back big enough for two cars, and my shed and it's still not enough.

Aha ! So that's why you sounded so familiar. I always read Penthouse for the articles, must've caught your writing there....
