The new YZ Rest Home
« on: March 22, 2010, 09:41:09 PM »
I have been busy trying to get the new YZ Rest Home built so I can get my bikes here to work on them (they badly need a good going over). Have done the wiring and now need to gib the walls, then plaster and paint(including the floor). Once that is all done its the final fit off for the electrics and then start building shelves, lots of shelves  :D and hopefully then I can start moving boxes and boxes of sh!t and then the bikes. Cant wait for it to be finished.


Boxing up


Ground work


Ready to pour the concrete


Floor poured


Framing and roof


Clading


Exterior finished


Insulation in back wall and starting to work on the inside


The interior with the framing for the store room and office(got to have somewhere to put all the bike manuals, VMX mags and all those things you collect in this game)   ;D


The other side of the store room and office


The wiring for the surround sound stereo and projector  ;)


The workshop benches


The workshop wired up ready for gibbing (drywall)

Nice! :)

The good thing about telling the truth is that you don't have to remember what you said.

Just a thought - make sure no windows face the rear sides, and i would have though about putting mesh in the walls before you had cladded it.   MAybe i have had to much stuff nicked, but a shed that backs onto a paddock is screaming for a breakin. Even if you can suppport or brace the back wall so they cant cut in and pass the bikes out.

Still its a bloody nice little Bike house.  I wouldnt want to go back to the big house, unless i could smell dinner ........... ;D

That is very, very cool DJ.
But if you're like me when I moved into my new shed, I had visions of it being perfectly tidy and everything in it's place................. that was until I moved the tonnes of stuff that "will come in handy one day" in there..................  :-\
But what's all that green stuff on the ground? Haven't seen anything like that around here for a long time.  :D

Hey DJ,
Good to see you back!!

But surely you could just move your back fence a few meters [or more]. Nobody would notice - would they? Then you could extend in the future when the collection expands even further.

Do I see some guest accomodation for Sir Bradalot when he flies in for one of his factory tours?

Catch you at CD7
