You must love wet weather. I would have thought a panel/paint man would have moved inland a bit ?

John were you happy with the soda-blasting?
Is it better than sand blasting?
I have heard it is less messy and you dont get the
sand grit every where.

Sorry fellars i should have answered, but was waiting to start the plumdinger thread. it work a treat no pitting or worping left all or most bog so you could see what repairs had been done, i had the engine bay and boot floor sandblasted, but over all good workmanship.

Why does one need a shed that tall?

EDIT: Just answered my own question by looking at the pictures :blink:

I assume an upstairs living area is going in eventually?

Looks good though, and as always I love that collection.

Awsome shed Gong.
I'm sure it will fill fast and you'll be wishing it was bigger. Hard to imagine now but it always happens.
Looking forward to following the project. Your work is always A1 and inspiring.
