The Kiwi Down Under Biggie.

[Justanoldguy]

It's been 14 months now since I moved out of my 5000 sq/ft sheds.
Truth is, I ran out of room.
I am a self-confessed hoarder and think a cure would have been cheaper than moving.
Anyway, a pic or two of the old haunt, then onto the new.
Stay tuned.

Looking forward to it..

The new shed is 8000 sq/ft and already I have mezzanine floors under construction totaling about 1000 sq/ft.
Also, a 20' x 30' free-standing shed out the side that will be my carpentry shop.
This will give me close to double the floor area that I had before.

Anyway, here is a shot at the new building which I will refer to as "THE SHEDZ"

Far out that's awesome..

That looks like a nice amount of space

 

[Brian R]

Wow - that's a lot of space. Congrats.

What was the building originally used for?

 

[tdcisco1]

love the high bay, does it have a crane by chance ?

 

[Justanoldguy]

It has a gantry over one part of it only.

 

[Justanoldguy]

High section of shed is 60ft long by 25ft wide and 42ft high.
Front shed is 75ft long by 30ft wide.
Back shed is 110ft long by 30ft wide.
They are all connected in a U shape.

Score! What a find.

Enough room for dirty work, paint booth and a showroom.

You might even needs a janitor or two.

You can build a second story (or maybe just a storage loft) and have even more space. Congrats on the move to the cool new place.

Good to see you back and in the new shed.

 

[Justanoldguy]

Thanks, guys.
I'll keep adding to this as time allows.
Also a rundown of what I'm doing in there.

The current big project is a 1200 sq/ft 2 bedroom apartment accommodation for Vicki & I.
Then there is the '49 Lincoln Coupe full Kustom.
The '38 Chevy ute.
The mid-mounted Volvo powered '52 Morris J van.

I have started a big mezzanine floor in the tower and will have a room up there as my man cave with my library, TV etc.
I have over 10,000 hot rod/car magazines and hundreds of car-related books to house.

 

[Justanoldguy]

There will be a Mezzanine floor over top of the 1200 sq/ft accommodation as well.
This is for storage only.

 

[HOTFR8]

Patiently waiting to see how the accommodation fits into all this.

One look at that tower was all I needed to see to hit the subscribe button. This is going to be an awesome project to follow for sure.

 

[MacTexas]

I can't wait to see all you stuff in the building.

 

[Justanoldguy]

First, a bit of landscaping around the building.
Getting the driveway sorted.
Use to flood a lot out front when there was heavy rain,
so got a pile of soil dumped there and made a mountain.
I have an old truck that will get put on there and planted out.
Also got the driveway redone with new stone chip.

 

[HOTFR8]

Plenty of activity in those photos. Must be a good feeling to have this happening.

 

[Justanoldguy]

Got these signs put up so I don't get lost coming home.

Any new progress on this beast?
