    Until I saw JDS' post I was considering more of a tidy up. At least I can work in my cave.

    Jeez. I've just watched a programme about hoarding on Channel 4 where the houses looked tidier than that.

    And hello, is that a cement mixer on the left???

    Ok, so: lawn mower, concrete mixer, tv, rowing machine, roll of chicken wire, window frame, bag of cement, a selection of bike wheels and tyres, a barbecue, unicycle (?), assorted timber and a suspiciously unused workmate. Do I win a prize?

    No window frame (although I guess the bit of wood you mean). Work mate has been used a reasonable amount.

    Oi, those are mine & mine kayaks - n+1 & all that.

    I'd also have taken can of petrol, bottle of oil, deck chair and plant pot.. :D
    It's a work in progress, I mean to sort it out a bit so I can do turbo sessions in it.

    You need to straighten the saddle on that unicycle, makes the place look untidy.

    Looks very well for it. No saw cuts, no burns or paint splashes. Mine looks a bit more, er, 'well-loved'.

    Drill's fine, this is clearly an operator error.

    I'll know better next time.

    Will probably be fine - its not crumbly old lime mortar and you're not putting much weight on each fixing.

    You typed that deliberately didn't you? You *know* you've just cursed that work now. The poor bugger will come home to bikes on the floor, a broken rack and mortar dust gently floating in the air.

    I hope you're proud of yourself...

    Lordy - missed this thread - I daren't post any pics of my Man Cave due to the risk of upsetting you all :shock: :wink: 8)
    It has far too many bikes and toys and general mannishness in it - so much so that I've had to export some of it to another country :wink: It helps that the garage is a double of Canadian proportions (the house is a Super-E kit house)

    I think I remember pictures of MRS's mancave from a link about the race Alfa. I definitely don't need to see more pictures. Mine is not much tidier and it seems to have gained a pine chest of drawers. This year I will get it tidy, perhaps.

    Not quite a man cave! Excuse the bad pics, this is against the side of my house & I couldn't get far enough back.
    I've got two more bikes that need to squeeze in here that I'm currently keeping in the house. Junk station bike that I can't face battling this mess with every time I use it and my nice bike that I don't want to be in here as it'll get damaged when this lot fall over - as they often do :roll:

    Can anyone recommend a solution? This is pretty high so reckon they'll all fit if stored on their hind-legs(??) I'm thinking some sort of hooks is the obvious choice but this is only a shed so I'm not sure it would take the weight of all these hanging. Maybe I need something that involves their weight taken by the floor?

    Any ideas or pics of a well kept shed would be much appreciated!





    I'm not sure the pics do it justice, there's currently 7 bikes squashed in there with 2 more to come!
