Hmm I think it could be time for a tidy up馃榾

Andy 路

You still have room to walk in yours!!! I don't have that luxury馃榾

Brad 路

The fact you can open your doors and see all the walls tells me you have heaps of room left.

When I left my shed I had to climb out the window of the hilux and crawl over the roof to get out of the shed.

I guess DazCat can support this since he had to get into get it out 馃榾馃榾

Andy42, I can't believe that anyone would consider that to be a messy shed!!! :o

Jay_1965vw 路

Just moved house + haven't moved junk from old garage= shed full of empty cardboard boxes LOL
(oh yeah, and a baby hydraulic jack, and 2 jack stands)

Was so impressed to find my new house has a shed 馃榾
Now to fill it up... What a shame its not big enough for thecar.

Andy42 路

I hate it like that. I like it to be nice and neat so you know excatly where everything is. I think it is time for wibble to come back and clean it for me馃榾 I try to store all the junk behind the shed. Out of sight out of mind.

I had to climb over the Vice Bench onto the tray then in through the window, then drive straight back avoid the same bench on the right hand side and the type 3 on the left hand side(3" away).
Brad you need a bigger shed!!!!!
8 car bays is way not enough!!!!!

I like to call mine "a organized mess".

68AutoBug 路

I saw a perfectly good bookshelf with nothing in it or ON it.... I have a one car shed with no hanging space on the walls plus a large carport with things everywhere, plus a large garden shed FULL of Car stuff and a small garden shed that at least I Can walk into.... and the worst part is- I can't remember what is under all the stuff on top !!!
Plus I have new stored all over the house... where it can't be seen by the Finance Minister....
The worst part is I can't remember what is on the bottom of the Big piles in the sheds... Sometimes I buy something to find a month later that I already had bought one a few years ago.....
It has taken Me 2 months to find My Alternator which I am fitting to My 68AutoBug.....

CoopGirl 路

"I saw a perfectly good bookshelf with nothing in it or ON it.... "
That's because it is being painted for the baby's room. I can't leave it in there for too long or it will end up with something on it and it won't ever make it into the baby's room.

helterskelter400 路

6 weeks untill new house & is built and shed is up.

tyred of being back at home with no "living" room. no room in shed either.

whatnow 路

i don't see what some of you guys are wingeing about... my shed (which is too crazy for me to consider photographing) is a 9 by 9" garden shed (with LOTS of spiders)....
ok visualize a 9 by 9 shed. then add 3 complete 36 hp motors, 2 complete sa gearboxes, 6 stripped or partially stripped (short block) motors with most of thier remaining bits packed into about 5 or 6 milkcrates and several storage tubs, a storage tub of sorted nuts, bolts and washers, a number of drum brake assemblies, a box of carbies, nearly a box of dizzy's, 3 starter motors, 5-6-7? generators, a crate of generator stands, a box of small tinware, 5 or 6 fan shrouds, some trailing arms, some torsion bars, some swaybars, etc.
remember this is a 9 by 9 shed and all the boxes i'm talking about are foam or medium to large fruit boxes.
now add three crates of headlights, one big and one small box of tail lights spotties and blinkers etc, the odd iceceram container of switched and alike, a box of wiper mechinisms, a box of dash bits and chrome, a big pineapple juice tin with exterior trim standing in it, god knows how many dented hubcaps (why i keep them???), a bag with 4 or 5 pedal assemblies, plus prob another box or 3 i've forgotten.
hanging arount the edges, add 9 early manifolds, several sets of TP end pieces, 6 or 7 steering wheels, half a dozen or so gearsticks, a dozen beauty rims, a loop of cover plates, 2 loops of body mount plates, a coathanger of cables, a bumper, decklid handles, springs, mount brackets, a 36hp exhaust, etc etc.
ok a 9 by 9 " shed.
now add 8 beetle rear guards, 7 beetle front guards, 2 or 3 more bumbers, 6 early and one 1500 engine lid, 9 deetle doors, 3 complete beetle back seats, a T3 front guard, a T3 square rear hatch, some front seat bottoms the odd interior trim bit (most kept inside away from the crusty stuff), several rims, 2 early fuel tanks, etc. oh and 2 front beams plus bits off 2 more.
in a 9" by 9" shed.

this is why i call it the shed'o'death

plus i have to find the space v.soon to fit another 2 sa gearboxes, another complete motor, another front end, 2 engine cases, a gearbox case, several more sets of rims, a complete interior and an extra pair of front seats (if i can't get rid of them first) plus several boxes of bits....

i think i need a bigger shed. 馃榾

Herbie 路

I think this photo speaks for itself.

When I was a boy we were happy with our messy sheds,

Neigh,

we were happy BECAUSE we had messy sheds,

You had it easy,......

when I was a boy we had to go next door and pay money to be able to mess up their shed.

Luxury,

We had to walk 20 miles, in the snow, with no shoes, with our mess on our backs till we found an abandoned shed to mess up.

well when I say shed,

It was more of a teachest,
that we kept at the bottom of a dam and shared with two families from across the way, that was OUR shed.

Tell that to the Dubbers of today,
And they just wont belive you!!!!!

whatnow 路

LMAO 馃榾

Herbie 路

Your shed is obviously Dimensionally Transindental like Dr Whos Tardis,
Its Dr What Nows Tardis.

Given that, you should be able to put 10 times that amount inside and then walk in yourself and travel back in time to collect rare parts to sell at swapmeets.馃榾

fish 路

Ahhh!!! the luxury of a shed would just be great.!!!!!

Stanley 路

If it's any consolation thats a good lookin' tarp Fish.....馃榾

bugboymatt 路

Carport and a tarp !!! beats me there...

Tim_H 路

I have a 90 square shed which is full of parts and bits and pieces. I'm always complaining about the lack of room and tripping over stuff. But after seeing some of those sheds, I don't feel so bad.

Don't forget guys, if you run out of space in the shed........ There's always the living room!馃榾

72TWINCAB 路

Hey whatnow,

Have you thought of building a second story on your 9 x 9 shed馃榾 You'll be able to fit twice as much in then:P

type3kid 路

LMAO @ all you who thinkthe situation is bad at your place. i have 2 t3's sitting in the yard and my mum won't shut up about how messy it looks coz you can see them from the road. if you think that annoys her then you should have seen her face when she walked into her shed which she stores her work stuff in and see an enigine, 2 front gaurds, boot bonnet bumpers dash 2 complete interiors from a squareback 3 doors all light fittings and covers. all her stuff had been pushed to the back corneer with dad's old work stuff which has been there for at least 10 years. one ride on mower got put outside too. she was not happy jan!馃榾 but i was!:P

Menangler 路

My first shed was a 9x9 garden shed on pallets so it wasn't on the ground. decided to build a proper shed after I set it on fire while grinding.

Now I have a 6x12 meter one in need of a clean out.

Dasdubber 路

Oh to have a shed. I have a one car garage under the house which just has enough room for my 63 body. I have to store my pan at my mates not far (fortunately) from our place. My splitty is at my parents (which dad has a kick-ar$e shed big enough for two cars easily, plus a workshop section, plus another 3x3m shed for parts etc).

I am looking forward to getting a simple garden shed shortly so I can keep the mower, garden tools in there. That way I may actually be able to walk around my car without tripping over bags of cement, paving sand etc etc!

Brad 路

After my recent bought of Junk removal I can almost do some work again. The shed is looking a little small but at least I can see the floor.




The outside of my main sheds. There is a top and bottom one. They are 13m long and 7m wide. The bottom one is 5 m high and will hopefull one day get a hoist .... mmm hoist...




My poor little buggy sitting all on its own waiting for some TLC before it goes and gets broken again up at Landcruiser Park ....

Yeah he parks the Hilux there, then drives the buggy over the Hilux into the shed.

He has an elaborate abseiling setup to get in or out of the shed without a car 馃榾

Sheds - arent they wonderful ?

I spent the last weekend (3 day weekend, as I had a rostered day off also) tearing down, moving and putting up my very own shed, all with the able aid of my father in law.

We moved into our new house and have been hanging out for a shed. Now all I need is the concrete floor in so I can start to mess it up.....

6.4m x 3.9m - just enough for one car and a workbench + garden tools.
