Let's see.

Fit and wire ramp in.
Acquire and wire in pillar drill.
Move distribution board so it's inside the unit
Put in additional electric power points, including 16A plugs for welder etc
Put in lighting circuits and appropriate light units
Fit in 200L compressor and put air-line around unit
Fit up studwork, insulate and board out front bays and inside of doors
Board remaining (small) gaps at rear of barn
Insulate end and rear walls
Insulate and board roof (no rush on that one!!)
Excavate soil from behind back wall, put in land-drain to stop water coming across the floor when it rains!
Go collect more shelving from a mate who has lots sitting about (WIN!)
Put in mezzanine deck over half one of the bays, for dry storage (steels are already out front).

Do lots of projects.  :grin:

^^^ Nearly done then!  :grin:

Yeah my no comparison man shed was blessed with free racking a shelving, nice when that happens.

So we may be in for some interesting reads from you next year?  :lipsrsealed:

Sorted the front three lights tonight.  I got some skip-shopped sodium units from a mate of mine.  They have 150W bulbs, so the three of them use 450W vs the 1000W total pair of halogens I'd nailed up previously.  When we powered them up it was 'is that it?' for about five minutes or so, then they came in properly.  It's a weird light to work under, but we have sufficient units that there are far fewer shadows now.  With the second pair to go in further back it should make the whole barn really well lit and much nicer to work in when it's dark.

Here's the first three:



Nick asked on Faceplant whether it was a Mini - yes - we have a Saxo from Basra and a Mini from Mike - the guys sharing the unit.

Land Rover is now sold.  Leaves Saturday after this.  Much relief.  Just need to get shot of the bus now.  :grin:
