I took a deposit on my motorbike this morning...

I am selling my 2011 Ninja 1000 to fund the new garage.

Another baby step closer.

Every bloke needs a Shed and every Cobra needs a home.
Awesome stuff!

Very exciting. Shed and Cobra!

That is very similar to the look I want in my Cobra too, Tony. Do you know what colour blue that is?

Hi Guye

Shed at least!! Cobra is a way off still...

Sorry, I am not sure on the colour. It is CSX3356 I believe, and says Guardsman Blue, but does not look like it...

Looks like it will be an awesome sized shed! Working in a double garage is limiting... I'm very jealous

Aussie Mike - thanks for visiting, I have enjoyed watching your build and may even steal a few ideas

Ryder - you already have a Cobra. I am the one who should be jealous!!

07cob - we were lucky to find a 2200 sqm block 12 mins from the centre of town. I used the cover story of wanting the block to get the kids a trampoline. I think my motives are transparent now!!

Glad the shed is coming along

Cheers

A double shed... Luxury... I used to dream of a double shed. I have to rotate mine on its side to fit it in my shed.

Good forward planning there. I'm looking forward to finishing my project so I can drive it down to Tassie and perhaps catch up with other members like Tony.

Hi Brad - good suggestion to incorporate the trampoline - the better half might not even notice! How is your baby going??

Peter - that looks pretty snug!! Good on you! We are lucky to have a bit of room, and I am planning (hoping...?) to never move out of this place. So far my plans include lots of shelving, a long workbench and a 'relaxation corner' (read beer fridge, TV, stereo and couch).

This area will also serve well when I have no idea of what to do next! Have a beer and watch some Dream Car Garage...

Hi Tony

The build is coming along fine with the exhaust being finished this week (I hope)

Just waiting for the windscreen to arrive and a few brackets for the demisters and other small stuff then its off to have it wired and all the QLD transport stuff for a Mod plate and an engine number with a Vin then its on the road.

The shed looks great it puts my garage to shame.

Cheers

Brad

That's odd, dry in Tassie and pouring down rain out here in the desert.

Shed looks great.

Excellent. Looks like you have plenty of height in there for a hoist.

Cheers

Hi boxhead

It was about time. November and December were pretty ordinary! It dried out just in time for the build... I am sure I will get it finished in time for the cold months...
