Should have built it a Proper size to start with , then you crap would have to be spread out thinner            :cheers:

I am in agreement with you there Jamie . Would have loved it bigger but been on a hill there is only so much rock you can cut to make a pad to build on .

Awesome work Duggie! :cup:

Just how big is that shed anyway ??? (Ask's the bloke that spent part of yesterday shopping for a 1.8 x .8 lawn locker :-[)

Considering it started as a 3m x 3m garden shed and then grew a little at a time , the shed is now a small size of roughly 21m x 9m  with a min height of over 4.5m .

Rewired a camper trailer, just the water pump and solar panel mount to go.

Cut out a new false floor for the fridge/storage system in my (new to me) Pajero. Try to get some carpet on it and the fridge slide mounted tomorrow.

First time try at being a motor trimmer. Pretty happy with how the carpeting turned out with all the annoying cut outs involved. Fridge slide now mounted.

Last weekend I started a big tidy up of the storage space/workshop at the back of the garage. Figured I had too many tools for the current box so got a licence to go and spend up on a tool cabinet.

Picked one up from the red/black garage and took it home. Pretty heavy so I popped the casters on while it was in the tray of the ute. Lowered it to the ground and found one bottom corner bent out of shape. Took it back, they didn't have any more except the display model, so grabbed that and got a bit of a refund as it was floor stock. Back home, parked it in the appropriate space. Wife came home and saw it and said she thought it look a bit small, it's a 26" with the top cabinet on. Maybe I should have got a bigger one, but it's a fair bit of cash for a tool box.

Next problem is working out how best to fill it up. The littlest already started helping, so who knows what I'll find in it :)

Put the Patrol on a diet. She's a bit tubby, even after the GVM upgrade.
Culled some unnecessary stuff from the drawers.
Back to one spare, mounted on the door (-65kg).
Will remove the winch today (-35kg).
