Best tip I can offer you (and anyone reading this) is to buy a good quality Cordless Tool/ Batteries and then add accessories to it each Birthday and Christmas as your Family never know what to buy you !

It takes a few years to reach Nirvana.....but you'll save a lot of heartache (and bruises) on the journey.

Personally I like Makita stuff....my Cordless Circular Saw and my Hedgetrimmer are tools that I wouldn't be without now, but there are plenty of other excellent manufacturers out there.
Now: 2008 CB1300S, CB750K4, 1970 Bonneville. Various other 1960's 650 Triumph T120's/ TR6's/ TR6C's (all in bits...many, many bits unfortunately). Previous: 2007 CB600FA, 1976 CB500 Four. BMW F800ST. GS750E. ZZR1100. CB1300 (2). ZXR1200S. VFR800. CB750 Nighthawk. CX500. XS500 Yam. Suzuki GT500. BSA A10. Various Lambrettas. Zundapp Bella (honest).

Just a quick update on this, I have insulated and boarded, got the power in, plenty of sockets and some decent light. I’m waiting on some racking to arrive and have some vents to go in, then I can get organised and get cracking. Thanks for all the advice and suggestions. I’m glad I didn’t go any smaller now.

Nice man cave space created there Craizee! I did the same insulated and lined with sterling board, never thought of painting it though. Nice one!

Nice, the good thing about osb is it acts as a vapour barrier as well due to its high glue content.  I levelled an area with a mini digger on the weekend ready for type 1 mot and concrete raft foundation, 7.2 x 4.8 metres looks huge when it's dug out

Thanks, I had some left over masonry paint so used that on the walls, I’m hoping it should be pretty tough.

I’m looking forward to finding out, although space to work on the bike around the lift starts to diminish pretty quickly once the toys start taking up room and there’s 3.6 metres of racking to go down one side. I reckon a few Ted!

Now that’s a shed!

Excellent space. Be ruthless and don't store unnecessary items in there!!

That space between the end units would make a great place to fit a fume  cupboard for plating with an extractor fan for H&S naturally.👍👍👍

I say shed, it's meant to be my workshop and storage for my business but I can see a bike or two migrating into it from my garage.  I keep slipping up and referring to my bikes being in it in front of the wrong people😬
