What do you apply the polish with?

I miss having a workshop :(
this is looking really niceThanks, I've always tried to have access to a workshop somewhere, but this will be the first one that I don't have to share.

An amazingly shite day radically improved by arriving home to find this:
If I could I would have jumped in there with them.
Make the most of it, before they grow up & hate each other ;-)

Selective exit is not possible.
Aargh!!!
Bit of an oversight on their part! Have you contacted the manufacturer?

Bought a Ti stem..
Deserves no less.
This bike's gonna be amazing!

^ Prefer that though.

I quite like the original colours.

Shed - Chapter 2
Slight jump of about 2 weeks without photos here. All the walls have now been boarded over with shiplap & painted. Starting to look more like a building at this point.
^ A much nicer view than I'm used to working with.
^ This opening without windows made me think I should be selling burgers & ice creams :-)
More soon.

^^^ Oh yeah, lovely frame! Look forward to seeing the results.

Although all of my bikes are rather dull colours, I've recently wanted something in a "look at me" orange.
Red is also nice. Were you thinking along the lines of

They had beers I'd not seen before. I bought them. I will drink them soon.
New forum T shirt?

For later.

A lot of cats get brought into my local charities when a new baby joins the family. I must have the world's most powerful immune system to not be dead by now.

So I test rode the Transition two9 yesterday......its a LOT nicer than the Salsa El Mariachi.
Tough looking frames those. designed for more "gnarly" riding than the Salsa. Good choice if you love your downhilling.
Along the same lines of the new breed of 29ers, I'd really like a Canfield Nimble 9.
At £800 though, it's just not happening.
-
^^^^ Very nice! Nothing really wrong with those components. Obviously the frame eventually deserves some flashy stuff, but some gradual upgrading will make you appreciate it all the more.
Might be replacing bits quicker than you'd hoped if you ride through that Swinley sand over the Winter though!

^ Can't seem to find any good pictures of it.

^ The gutter sits on some supports that are behind the rear wall of the shed. To get as much usable internal space the gutter will initially be visible inside on the left, where you can still see the white wall. This section will have a plywood box built around it.
Water will run from right to left, then through a downpipe where it's collected in a barrel for watering the garden. Flashing is used ether side of the gutter to stop water from running down the back wall inside *

Gonna be insulated inside.
Yep, with as much of this stuff as I could fit in.
Using these tubular heaters to keep out the damp too. Can't have the tools going rusty.
-
Fitting the window frames. I decided to use ready made double glazed units which are quite heavy. This meant beefing things up a bit to support them.

^^ Completely mental :-s
Love it!
