Title: The new YZ Rest Home
Post by: DJRacing 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.

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?

Shane they are far too hot for you mate.

The back wall is a firewall so their is two layers of fire rated gib and then iron cladding so it would be easier to 'get in' other ways.

I'll be putting a gate in the fence next to the garage just in case I need to do some jetting  ;) and it would be great to have Elvis or any hard core VMXers come to stay.
I said to karen that I didnt think it was big enough but she asures me it is  ;) but time will tell.

When you are used to a 6m X 3m garage to store 10 or so bikes and parts there isnt much room left to work on them, so it will feel like a wharehouse for at least 1 month and I might even be able to find tools and parts. 

:D
Batts in wall ????     western wall.    DJ  Knock all those dented tiles back up  mate .... ( decro-mastic )

Spoken like a true plumber  ;)  Stu, but we need batts here, dont forget we have a winter here, not like you guys with your two summers, one dry and one even dryer.  ;D

Man that's nice DJ, you lucky bastard. I tried to sell my wife on a new garage the other day. "But dear, I can get all the bikes and stuff out of the main garage and you can put the car in there!" But no go, so I suggested another garden shed cos my last one filled up with household junk. Nope. OK, so can I buy an extra cupboard for the main garage? Only if it's second hand...

I'm envious.

Graeme, start restoring and building your bikes in the living room and storing another 4 bikes in the dining room, put all your spare parts in the spare bedroom and you to will get the garage of your dreams  ;)  ;D
Karen has even said that if I put batts in and gib the shed it will be that much nicer.......... I know I'll be in trouble when she asks me to move the spare mattress out there  :o

I have about 7 bikes waiting to go into it but then their are the bikes to be done up so that will make about 10 and then their are enough parts to build a couple more and then you never know what is just around the corner.  ;)  ;D
Hopefully my final list of bikes will look something like this;

1971     YZ125 (special) a bike I have seen in mags and books. Would like to make something similar.
1974     YZ125A  standard
1974     YZ125A Noguchi Hot-up kitted bike
1974/5  OW125 lookalike (Noguchi parts on this bike) it is the bike in Oz at present.
1975     YZ125C in the Yellow colours
1975     YZ125C in the White colours
1976     YZ125X standard
1976     YZ125X DJ-special with DG swingarm, DG head, YZ-D seat, YZ-D forks, FOX mono airshox, etc
1976     YZ125X Road Racer with full Fairing, single seater, front disc, rearsets, clip-on bars,  etc
1978     YZ125E standard
1980     YZ125G standard

1974     YZ250B standard
1981     YZ250H standard

Thats my list of bikes that I have or want to have in my shed.  ;)  I'll see you in about 20yrs  ;D  hopefully the list is alot smaller by then.  ;D

Well I have been very busy at work so the shed is just slowly getting done but I have got all the gib up and gibstopped as well as sanded. The parts store room is lined with ply and ready for making the sleeves. The skirting, scocia and window architraves are all done. The electrical circuit breaker board is wired and the storm water all plumbed in. I have put a sink unit in and just need to connect the water and waste up and I put a small electric instant hot water system under the sink. I dont know how good it will work but if it warms the water a little I'll be happy with that. I have added TV connections in the workshop area and office, and I have enough galv pipe to run the length of the garage with air outlets either end of the benches and a few extras. I had a quick count up of electical outlets and lights etc, I think I have about 50 power outlets, 3 of them hanging power points and 2 doubles on the work benches. The lighting is 10 double flouros and 4 small bulkhead lights, plus exterior lights.

 All going good I should be painting the walls this weekend. Any painters in Aussie need a cheap holiday in NZ  ;D

Enjoy DJ-there will be some nice bikes rolled out of that shed for the next 50 odd years, if that 1974 Noguchi Hot-up kitted bike is anything to go by  :-*

The ply lined room is just a store room for parts and crap, you know how it is Lozza, you buy a bike and then you buy another for parts, well thats what the store room is for, once I build the shelves  ;)   or it could be the room to lock up TMB when he finally goes mad with his bike buying addiction  ;D

Brent, the word mortgage slams to mind  :'( 

Tony, I've been looking, but a good painter costs the earth. Well thats what I keep telling my boss, but it falls on deaf ears.  :-\    Looks like I'll have to just paint it myself for the love of it.  ;)

I know that word well DJ and I'm about to add to it as the minister of finance has approved a garage/shed/workshop as she wants my "stuff" out of sight.

If it's within reasonable limits I'd rather have it now and pay for it later than be too old to use it when I could afford it! :o

And I'm still jealous!

Hey DJ,
Nice work old son!! Very jealous!!

But if the ply lined store room is for TMB, perhaps it would be nice to put some padding on the walls… possibly some lambs wool?
We don't want him injuring himself.  ;D

I found a painter, he's a bit rough and doesnt like sanding but since none of you blokes wanted to come over for a working holiday he'll have to do.
I put a couple of ali angles on the external corners so that they wouldnt get damaged when I was moving bikes into and out of the workshop area.
The colour is a boring very light grey, but I think a few posters and photos will help.

Hey DJ,
It looks fantastic… but aren't you going to line [and insulate] the ceiling. It gets bloody cold down your way, you might need it!!

Keep up the good work, can't wait to see it finished and full of Tuning Fork Racers.
VMX42




P.S. be very wary if Bill asks you to store a few bits and pieces for him. You might need to plan an extension [or two].

Starting to get closer to the end. I have more A/V wiring to do, and I stuffed up 2 power points that are under the benches so I have to move them but at least I have my big shelf (1.2m X 5.3m) in now. Dont ya hate it when the weekends are to short and you are already doing a 60hr week. Work, doesnt it just get in the way of the real shit you want to do.  ::)

I don't see any machine tools or racks with boxes upon boxes of Noguchi parts, only box I see is one for the disco mirror ball ??? Stereo's, DVD's and plasma's looks like a luxurious "I'm in the dog house" house to me ;D ;D

Lozza, I wish I owned a few machining tools or even new how to use them. I dont even have a drill press, dont even know how to weld (and now that Ji has gone I cant even get an in-depth tutorial) and lets face it, if your in the dog box it doesnt have to be a dog box  ;)
As for the boxers and boxers that I have to go in the shed, I know it will fill up before I can even empty the cold ones out of the fridge.

Started building the shelves in the store room
(http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f65/djracingyz/garage058.jpg)

(http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f65/djracingyz/garage061.jpg)
one more shelf to go, and then the other side of the room. I have also put down
some of that dark grey waterproof carpet in the office.

A picture of the projector at work. The flash has washed out the picture but you
can just make out some of it.

(http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f65/djracingyz/garage074.jpg)
without the flash but a little light. The band is "Live".

(http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f65/djracingyz/garage072.jpg)
should be good for a few party's.

I have about 7 bikes waiting to go into it but then their are the bikes to be done up so that will make about 10 and then their are enough parts to build a couple more and then you never know what is just around the corner.  ;)  ;D

1975     YZ125C in the White colours
1976     YZ125X standard
1976     YZ125X DJ-special with DG swingarm, DG head, YZ-D seat, YZ-D forks, FOX mono airshox, etc

Looking really nice DJ. I've just come in from my cluttered mancave to see your neat as a pin shed. You and Bazza have the carpeted, not a thing out of place, spartan shed thing down pat! It must be a Kiwi thing.

Post by: DJRacing on April 22, 2012, 03:14:05 pm
what did you coat the floor with mate?
I coated the floor with Nuplex screed coat, its a 2 pot epoxy flooring paint and I used about 45litres on 24sq/m
The paint was a bit old and alot of mixing and straining was done but it was at the right price.
You just trowel it on but you have to work very fast with 2 pot epoxy because it can change colours slightly. It does make wipeing up spills easy.

Firko you haven't seen my other shed and carport, now they are both cluttered messes and even the other end of the new shed is in a shambles. I've only just started to move a few things in so give it time and I bet you wont even know that I have painted the floor.  :D

Tony I have had my YZ250H in there for a few weeks now too so I just doubled the amount of bikes.  ;D and a big shelving unit went in last weekend so now the place inst looking so spartan.

Im just joking Stew. I'm not having a go at my mate. ( well sort of ) I'm just saying that if you are suffering the DT's you should set horizontally not vertically. Your hand shakes sideways so stopping sideways it is less noticeable. :D ;D Nothing a couple of hundred litres of undiluted paint won't fix anyway 8).

You get back to building that killer bike, you know, just to fill the grid for the first moto ::)
