          @mad73 wow that looks like it's going to amazing when finished!! I really need one of these,my man cave is a rather small but well secured garden shed round at mums! can fit about 3 bikes in it if I'm lucky and I'm reduced to working in the spare room most of the time as it doesn't have power lol

          Every problem has a solution

                    Nothing worse than when that old rain starts poring down and your working outside I hate that! You think your gardens bad? you should see mine it floods at the first sign on rain and is like a swamp most of the year 😃

                                Carpet tiles are such a good choice! Really save your knees!

                                      @mad73 I had those hinges on my shed, one day I came home and the door had been prized off with a crowbar. They took my mountain bike and my mower. So if you plan on putting anything valuable in there, I would suggest that you use regular door hinges, or one day you will be sorry just like I was!!! :O(
