If they're empty that's a lot of five pounds sitting on your shelf.

Yep, they’re empty. I like to keep the unique ones, that way I know what I’ve had and what I haven’t. I might take them back at some point.

Lefty - for me you’ve won shed/ garage of the year. It’s got everything anyone could really want, but still looks attainable/ realistic.

Top work!

Thanks very much. There’s not too much I would have done differently in retrospect and whilst more space is always nice, extra floor area comes at a cost and this is “enough”. Just wink

New toy today:



Very quiet, gets up to pressure quickly, seems well made. I like SIP stuff and it’s not crazy money. 50litre, £275.

I have a short term lodger. Mk2 Scirocco with a 2.8 VR6 conversion. Sounds magnificent, needs paint.



My mate dropped it off at the weekend. He was asking about the ramp so I demonstrated it (luckily without a car on it) and the fkn thing refused to come back down rofl

Released the descent valves which brought it back down. Lifted it again and still wouldn’t come down under its own power.

Quick call to GEMCO and an engineer was out first thing the next morning, rewired the limit switches and all is fine again. Great service.

Just discovered this, an impressive turn of pace, not at all jealous - well done!

We're doing something similar but it's been 24 months so far....and still not finished!

Ground works in Jan 2022...



Outside a while ago...need to do more photos!



Inside after the floor went down!

You so need more photos. If you don't have them you'll have to restart the build and take them as you progress - at least it should be a bit quicker second time around!
