Shed Preparation for Winter Projects

[grog]

Sure looks like a house Irish. My shed is 55 Sq. Metres but fit 2 cars and bike, not much space left. Often thought of extending it, possible but expensive, ground slopes away at rear. My shed was original Butcher shop in our town, built 1955. I re did in 1992.

Hooli, I've had some enquiries about rental lol.

Side pic of my shed. Yes, we do get rain.

And don't throw your old kitchen out they fit into your shed nicely.

[grog]

I throw out all old stuff, its a wonder havent thrown myself out. My wife probably wants to.

This is my shed wifey painted the old one sea side scheme and now the new bit is on there that is for the bike only but I have a plan she won't see lol I will make a swing door into the main shed so I can get to the bike  we will see how this goes lol

Nice fence Mrg, think it's a bit of an overkill if you can't get over the black one.

[Mrg]

Yes the new fence was not at my cost the school had to pay for this as it's there's and it was from the front of our house to the back cost them over 3000 with all the ground work they had to do and put in two foot gravel margin to stop weeds getting back to our side  and the back fence is cool  I backs onto a works place and they have good security on there place

My man cave is ready for winter again. It's had it's yearly coat of Creosote. Drainage channels fitted this year so it's not sitting in water. It's reasonably tidy inside as well (Apart from Nottys stash cluttering up one corner )
I usually leave a fan blower on cold 24/7 to make sure I've got good air circulation. The Bandit tank is brimmed full to prevent condensation and rust forming in the tank. I'm gradually working through cleaning all my tools and giving them a wipe over with ACF50 to prevent rust.

Have you thought about running a dehumidifier instead of a fan, I use one on the boat in winter instead of using the water catchment tank I put a hose into the sink to get rid of the moisture. A mate built a lined box in his garage for the bike and put the unit in there for more efficiency.

I used to use a dehumidifier when I had a garage. It was pulling out 5 litres of water every 24 hours. It never switched off and was running constantly.

Thats the reason why I use the tube to drain, when the tank fills up a float turns the unit off.

Making a crate around the bike & putting the dehumidifier in there makes a lot of sense.  Much smaller space so will use less power.

Im spoiled rotten my Garage/Workshop is part of the house and the central heating boiler is in there aswell - Ive lined the door with underfloor heating insulation (2x6mm) so its fairly cosy in there all year round

Where did the idea come from.
