[Jyzze]

Hello! I'm Jyzze and living in Finland adout 30km from Capital, Helsinki. I Have read GJ some years but never start my own threat but here we go!
Measures are! 2,10m X 2,20m it's not much but i'll live.. in US that is some things 6,80ft x 7,20ft..??
Biggest broblem is to get my moped fits in there. Have sooooo.. much rubbish and things what idont need, so firs i download pigtures just for cleaning.
And sorry about my English.

Looks nice and clean though Jyzze, you must have some junk you can chuck out to make a little space for the moped.

Ouh, yes i have.. i rent small storage room from my friend where i but all my ' season' things..
I just Have too much stuff, tools, memoribilia from serving and etc.. but cleaning has been started.

There's always a time to start! And nothing is too big or too small to get organized. I don't know if you've seen this one, but there are a lot of things that can prove to be handy:

Good luck with the cleaning!

What kind of storage solutions you have in mind? Small sheds are challenging, we have similar storage and during winters it is full of stuff. I'll try to organise that storage during next summer.

 

[Jyzze]

Got some space in the shed. I have similar storage system like Elfa.Very common here on Finland. One wallband was off so i join it again. Garden tools and shovels i but on Hook. I still need bigger shelves.

 

[Jyzze]

I made new shelves from old cabinet whits was broken. I drive to My wife father's House where Hi has garage, using tablesaw was much better idea then circular saw.

 

[Mikkeli]

Nice progress! I was thinking using similar storage system from Sovella in our storage for garden tools.

THX! I will chance all of those shelves and but them on same level. Winter is coming, why i didint do this in summer?

 

[Jyzze]

Tools,tools... where do i need all these axe's.

 

[Jyzze]

One shelves more, slowly,slowly..

JYZZE: my portion of our 2 car garage isn't a lot bigger than your shed and here's a link to my thread where i'm starting to ORGANIZE IT and vacate all my extra storage. yep I probably own 10 axes, 200 hammers, 150 vises, & ... so getting everything I like and own into my 9x15 space will not be easy.

best of luck with yours and the way you have your deck organized i'm guessing with a few hooks to hang stuff and better storage options you'll be ready to have a nice spot for you moped(s) to go in and out when you want to use them without moving a ton of stuff first.

Hi Jyzze,

Great to see you starting your own thread,
Cleaning it up will definitely make things easier, and you don't need a big shop to build/make good things
What mopeds are you working on?

Hi Jyzze, another Finn here! I had a "Solifer SM Automaatti" moped when I was 13-16 years old. It was originally candy red like the parts you have on your shelf, although yours look better than mine did almost 35 years ago. I modified the cylinder porting and silencer, ditched the entire intake silencer, and it would go 65+ kph with original carb and exhaust, and original gearing too. Periodically the transmission would either blow up or seize, fortunately I didn't have any axes handy during those times

I sold the remains of the Solifer a few years ago but I still have the tank and seat left. The tank I kept as a memento because I re-painted it when I was 14, and it turned out surprisingly OK. The seat will go to my Honda CB125 brat/scrambler project I am building with my son.

Trying to get rid off differend box and Make some space in shed. I went logal hardware store to look and buy Stanley Fatmax organizer box. Salesman told me that dont sell those any more.. so a drive another shop. DeWalt boxes are same sice..

 

[Unruh]

We have a shed about this size that needs some organization and I maya steal some of these ideas. Keep it up!

 

[Jyzze]

Now it's starting to look good.. just a few small things, powertools...

 

[drivesitfar]

JYZZE: I still have a few of those style hanging shelves in my industrial vintage garage because they work. congrats on getting the shelving up and getting your stuff ORGANIZED and up off the floor.

keep up the great work and if you might have odd shaped objects or have questions about what others might do with chairs, bikes or bigger items just ask.

good luck

Yeah, I saw the red fuel tank and tool box on the shelf in one of the pics and regognized them

 

[Jyzze]

Progres! That's the word what My wife use when she see our shed..Still thing's to do. Tools wall have to do again?

 

[Mikkeli]

Nice progress, do you have any ideas for your power tools? It seems that your Solifer should fit inside the shed already.

I pickup some pvc pipe and make place for them under the shelves. Let's see how it works..

 

[drivesitfar]

JZ: looks like you are really making great progress!!

I like the PVC method of storing drills and other items so hope yours works out to your liking.

 

[cgv]

Nice to see more Finns here! I've been more just reading topics and just thinking what I should do at my garage and 2 years ago started my own stickercompany so havent even got time to do anything..

Long Time no see.. well things happend, but it's good to hear from you! How's Life on West? Make some small update and you are back in busines.

First model was..well not so success.. i will post My version when it's ready.

 

[Jyzze]

So here it is! I got it in, still things to do but as you all know they are never ready. I got small Kärher vacuum cleaner for almoust free so why not. I think it's almost necessary in my shed If i try to keep it clean.

 

[drivesitfar]

JZ: looks like you might have room for another moped? sorry to hear your first PVC effort wasn't a complete success, but i'm sure you'll improve with practice.

good luck and congrats on getting your moped inside the shed. AND you can get it out and in easily if needed.

 

[Jyzze]

THX! DRIVESITFAR, My wife said, one moped ok, two moped biiiig broblem... Sometimes friday's is not just garage or shed time. Sometimes it's good pasta and perfect Beer.

 

[drivesitfar]

JZ: OMG that looks tasty. I just had pumpkin pancakes with a little too much 100% maple syrup.

your wife will change her mind as you use them and she learns to ride too. my wife didn't golf before she met me over 30 years ago and she'll almost always go on a golf outing if asked now once i taught her how to play.

cheers and enjoy the dinner and beer!!

in case you might want to post a few more of your tasty meals and share some of yours (and the FIN's) health secrets here's a thread I started as a weight loss thread a few years ago you might like to post on even if you are not trying to lose weight or get healthier.
