Shed Dwellers.

[HOTFR8]

I've been posting on this site for some time now and not managed to get round to posting some pics of the Shed.

I have had some trouble posting pics so will post some links instead as I know they will work.

Colorbond Steel 60 x 30 has been up now for nearly 8 Years. I had trouble getting Council approval as I wanted 80 x 40 as they said that looked to Industrial on a residential block and mind you I had to set up a biocycle treatment plant for the sewrage as I am that far out of the City Centre and the block is no small. I was lucky enough to build the Shed first and I built the house later changing the plans to add a 3 car garage and then build another Garage to house the 4x4 truck and store a few items. I have outgrown the shed now and hope once I finish the current 48 Ford Truck project to extend the Shed. if the Council will let me .

I divided one section off to keep my T Roadster, Falcon and Teardrop.

This section is the workshop.

In the workshop section I have a Wood heater made from Truck Rims as well as a shower and toilet set up. Not seen in these Photos is a small office section of the building that also has a mezanine floor for storage.

Many will also recall I posted information here about Solar Power and my Office runs on that meaning the computer, Phone and Fax as well as a couple of back up lights and a few other small items etc. run on Solar Power with a mains back up.

The Council hassles I had to build became a problem for me and now I am in the situation I have outgrown the Shed and have had to put a shipping container in for storage. I should have stuck out for what I wanted.

Oh Well enjoy my little slice of heaven.

More pics of the cars! That's a nice looking shop you have there. They'll lock you up in the US for 'acquiring' that many signs .

I live in the County. No zoning, no permits, just some reasonable restrictions in my deed. Like no pigs or sheep. Quarter mile away, they have zoning boards, building inspectors, etc. I've got a metal 30' x 40' near the house and I'm plannig another nearby. I'm not an Arkie by birth. But I am glad I live here now!

Signs are all Legal. The ones in the workshop have lost the reflection and a mate made a killing with them at the swap meets selling them off.

Will see what other photos I have of the Cars.

This is the current project. 48 F4 Ford with 6BT Cummins C6 Auto and US gear overdrive. Heavily Modified Peterbuilt ( read as Chopped Channeled and Sectioned ) Sleeper cab.

Looks like you have a lot of fun.. great fun SHOP, not shed. A friend of mine was recently dissed by somebody who told him he had a shed, not a shop.. well as far as I'm concerned, as long as a guy has a cave to go to for working on his many projects.. it's a shop. Love the cars, love the signs, great place to just sit and have a cold one. That's what I love doing in mine. Great job!

Those rims on you T are the same ones I just ordered for my 68 Mustang and I'm waiting for them to show up. The 68-69 Styled Steel Wheels.

The rims / wheels are called Falcon Slotters here. Front 15 x 5's Back 15 x 10's and on the trailer 14 x 4's. I am running wheel centre covers from another model Ford as the wheel caps are expensive and often stolen

Neat rides.... I was just kidding about the signs . I have a few signs in my possesion that were 'acquired' and ended up here (many years ago and I did not take them either). Not gonna' find me doing that!

Good looking space.

On a side note, it looks like you came to Chicago and stole all of our road signs - except for the one that says "End Road Work". That's unhead of. Illinois should change it's state motto from "Land of Lincoln" (as in Abraham) to "Road Construction Ahead - Expect Delays".

I guessed you where kidding but unless you use emoticions it is not easy to see that . All the road work signs came from a mate that was going to use them for the backing on solar panels ( I think I posted this information ). I get that comment all the time about them being stolen but they can not be used as it is "an occupational health and safety issue" here and they are no longer safe to use so my wall is better than the rubbish heap.

curlyws6 in another post you asked me for more photos of whats in my shed so I hope you are happy and I will try to post more of the cars later.

Sweet, you travel with your own keg!

 

[HOTFR8]

Yeah opens up with room for the Esky ( cooler box ) and a bit of other luggage. After all the T Roadster does not even have enough room for my Fiance to put her handbag

Just a couple of new photos after Castlemaine Rod Club had a Garage Crawl here over the weekend. This is what is currently in my workshop.
