You just can't beat a decent shed, my first 20 years of married life was spent living in Army married quarters around the country with varying sizes of shed space, from 10 x 10's to a "high set" house in Brisbane with almost the entire floor space of the house underneath with a concrete floor for garage space.

When I finally retired from the Army I bought a house with no driveway past my carport, and no garage. My wife really wanted the house, so the deal was that she got the house if I could spend some more money on getting a driveway and garage built. I had a 20 x 30 foot garage built (the largest that the local council would allow at the time) and at the time I wondered how the hell I'd ever fill it.

11 years on, I'm thinking about buying a 12 x 12 for storing my ride on mower and a couple of bikes. I agree entirely that over time, your junk expands to fill a garage to capacity. Cheers, Terry. ;D


That's a Nice looking "M/C Crib" you have there Terry.

Thanks mate, I'm happy with it, I just wish it had another story too! Cheers, Terry. ;D
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"
