Ian 2,417 #1 Posted October 17, 2014 Hi Guy's and Girls, as I'm not really going to have much to report project progress wise for a while, I thought I'd start a Workshop moving thread Though saying that I don't have much to show you at the moment.. Shelves are getting emptier... While packed boxes are starting to stack up.. A wheel barrow and a trailer load of scrap metal waiting for collection... It's amazing how much rubbish can be collected, and I'm sure I will find more as I dig deeper And just to pad this out a bit, I even managed to get most of the lawn cut today.. Quite possibly the last cut I will do here.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ian 2,417 #6 Posted October 23, 2014 Good luck Ian with everything Thanks James, it's looking like everything is coming together quite well I don't doubt it with Nigel next door. Be interesting to see what transpires. Yes it could well in interesting to see what comes out of both workshops Well, a bit of a sad day in more ways than one... Down came all the decorations that shacks collect over the years.. It feels strange in there without this lot fixed on the walls.. They all hold good memories for me and will be going up in the new workshop along with some bigger stuff that I will once again have wall space for And of course.... More stuff boxed up ready to go, even more "shack boxes" stashed in the house! Even under the big bench has been mostly cleared out and boxed up! Now you may of noticed in the above photo's a big red something is missing.. Yes the 6x6 went off to it's new home today, here it is all loaded up with it's new owner Mark... I am of course very sad to see it go, but I am happy that it has gone to such a good home.. To say that Mark is over the moon about is an understatement to say the least.. Yes he has been told about MOM and RS and promises to keep me updated on how he is getting on with it 5 nigel, pmackellow, Lauber1 and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ian 2,417 #7 Posted October 24, 2014 Only the one photo today but the shack stripping is getting serious now.. Lathe dismantled and ready to be moved, and 2 benches dismantled one of which the compressor was hidden under.. I'd forgotten how big it is The shack has a viewing booked in for tomorrow afternoon, and just had a call from a chap who thought it was a small shed and wanted to take it to Orkney!!! 2 nigel and pmackellow reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ian 2,417 #17 Posted October 27, 2014 That looks fantastic Nigel, thanks mate Wish I could help with the move... can't wait to see the new digs Ian. No worries Craig, it would be a bit of a journey for you to get here That's awesome! Looking forward to the next chapter Me too Very nice looking Next Generation 'Shack Pad' there Ian. I take it it's provided courtesy of Nigel?, if so , your a lucky Lad having a new kindly neighbour of that calibre . Look's like it's big enough to rattle around it like a 'Pea in a Drum'. Thanks Richard, yes I am very lucky having a good friend/neighbour called Nigel.. I wouldn't be able to do this shack move without Nigel's fantastic help, so thanks mate, your a star The deal is Nigel has rented the new place and I'm renting half of it from Nigel. Now that's posh. Can't quite make out what it says under The Shack on the sign. It says.. The Shack Revisited Like the Christmas lights & bars on the windows! Looks like you will be warm in there this winter The bars on the windows I can cope with, not so sure on the seasonal lights though A couple of photo's from yesterday.. The big bench is down.. Which means Project "Why Not" is a roller 3 diggerjames, Triumph66 and rotoscytheben reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
