This is my workshop:



Its got limited access but loads of space inside so I've had the builders in this week.



I can now get a mini in the workshop. Might even get a split screeen camper in at a pinch.

Yes, loads of crap to get rid of.

Had a row with the MD yesterday about what we should throw out. She's a right hoarder.

throw it all out when she's not there - then ask here what was there she wanted, if she can name more than 25% of what was there I'd be inpressed

nice workshop by the way

If Carling made Mini engines
it would probably be like this one!

When my Mum moved she very unwisely asked me to help clear her garage - I asked her if she wanted a particular item yes or no - any hesitation was taken to mean please skip this! She wasn't impressed!

I find the easiest way is to super glue the bolt to the end of one of my fingers.

It took two of us about five minutes to get it half way, so not quick.

I like the poratbility of it. I can shift it to the garage in no time and set it up in there. Only 8 bolts to dismantle it.

I bought it direct from these guys:



I had a special Mini sized version made as I have limited space across the barn.

Frost do sell them.

Now trying to organise the crap, so I bought some racking.



Makes me realise how many projects I have on the go *frown*

Still loads of odds and ends to find a home, so I'm going to get another rack for the other wall.

I got rid of most the sh1te. That's the good stuff.

Got it mostly sorted, then a neighbour dropped off a 1275 he had been storing for me. So a bit more grunting to do.
