A little birdie tells me that someone,who lives in Melbourne, (and recently had their dearest Patrol broken into) is about to get a new double door shed, with Duggie style car hoist !!!!!

Something tells me the Patrol won't be on the street anymore !!!

For every situation you have 3 choices. Live with it, change it, or leave it. But only pick one

Hi Mark,

I trust you all had a pleasant time. I can see there was plenty of chatting, but that's a given.... ;D ;D

A comment or two, if I may.

The shed will have only one main door. I suppose it'll be a double door jobbie if you count the little man door ::)... ;D

The Patrol hasn't lived on the street since the liberation attempt. It's not my daily driver any more. Very crowded in the garage ATM.

Yes, duggie's set-up has provided no small amount of inspiration. I'm still in awe. I got some serious shed envy there, but we don't have the space for something as impressive.......no gantry for me i'm afraid :'(......but I'll make do.

:cheers:

Geoff,
Good time had by all....mind you, being the only bloke and seven women....lucky I got any conversation in at all !!

I thought the 2 doors didn't sound right...as there is only 1 Patrol.

But correct me if I am wrong....you are getting a type of car hoist ? arent you ?

Ear plugs might have been a good idea...... ;D

Yes, I'll definitely be putting a hoist in the shed, but an overhead gantry like duggie has will remain a dream.

So you would have to be the ONLY person, who lives in suburban Melbourne, with their own car shed that has a car hoist ? That is one spoilt car  :cup:

And boy...is Kay is open to some REAL payback...... ;D ;D

You and lino6 could have things to talk about forever with the number of different trailers we have  ;D ;D

Not so much about spoiling the car Mark. I'm just getting too old for all the getting down on the ground, and then getting back up rubbish.

Are you taking a morning cuppa in to Kerry yet??... ;D ;D

If there is a new shed on the horizon I would seriously consider having a pit built into the floor. A great addition I reckon.

Thanks Craig, but a hoist will suit me better.
I need something that will get the wheels of the ground.
They allow stacking, too.... :cup: :cup:

A mate installed a Tufflift hoist in his home garage, it works really well and he's had no probs with it and it gets used a lot.

That's exactly the type I have in mind.....4-4.5T, clear floor.
Nice to get a little feedback about someone that has one.
Thanks Jamie.  :cup:

The only difference between the domestic and commercial is with the domestic you need to release the lever on both posts before it will lower. You pay twice the price for the privilege of not having to do that. The clear floor works really well too.

interestingly, I thought most sheds in the area had put full skylights, headlamps and irrigation systems in?  A car shed, now that's novel.....

& rewire power meters & early 1 morning a bunch of blokes will come through the front door to do a spot of gardening  :police:

Wasn't me doing the telling........there's more to it than meets the eye.

Besides, have you looked in the mirror lately?.... :P
