11th July 2011 - Various Hobbies - Brown Shed Update

Published on 29 December 2022 at 03:12

Right today is the start of yet another project thats some 5 years over due!

This one is gonna take some time and hopefully will prove to be financially worth all the agro.

I know there are some Honda 500/554 four SOHC parts in there, hopefully many that will be sort after, There may also be some reliant parts in there as well.

Besides selling on a lot of the items I will be finding and chucking away the rubbish, this shed will house Kurgan over the winter months, whilst I am gonna make a start on the CBR1000 chop, in the vain hope that it will be ready for my dream trip in 2013.

As you can see it has been nothing but a dumping ground, since I last built Creature Too back in 2004 and sold on in 2005. Also I am hoping to find my compression tester and hopefully my vacuum guages ( if i hadnt sold them).
This is all the clear space at the moment, A spare CBR1000 engine and just enough room for Tim to get his bike in there overnight.
On top of teh pile is Tims Old worn out bike, I must find out what he wants to do with it. -- Lilly Royston what you going to do with all that jung in your hump
Right after clearing 2 bin liners full of rubbish, am now able to open the cupboards oposite the shed door. This one has a load of Honda 500/550/4 SOHC bits - they will be sorted and put on ebay come winter ( when hopefully I will get a better price for
This cupboard - has some reliant bits init - again all going on Ebay come winter.
Not sure whats in here, just shut the door again for now.
Thats the Hedge Trimmer, Lawn Mower, Strimmer hung up, using some 6" nails I found on teh floor.
This cupboard looks to have loads of bits init - will sort sometime in the future, as clearing the floor and the work bench are priority.
This lot has been up here some 6 years plus - probally only fit for teh bin !
the cupboard has some tools in. This jogs my memory as found heavy duty padlock n keys on teh floor - so now its gonna get tidier - I better start locking this shed up from Tonight.
Yet more tools n stuff - some I forgotten that I had 🙂

The tent has been eaten thru by mice so along with a lot of stuff in this pic is just binned.
about 5 hours work, dissapointed only to pull out 6 full bin liners - to keep the dustbin men unhappy on Thursday.
After over 5 hours pottering about - Heres how it looks now 🙂
still a lot of work to do but deffo looking a lot better.
I can see my work bench ! not only that I can I can get to it - even if I cannot stand right up to it yet.
