They are never big enough. I currently have a a 6mx 3.5m attached to a 4mx3m in added on kinda thing.

Few tools and kids toys and essentually have single garage. :x Have wifes car my ute and work ute parked in drive along with tailer and caravan. Only thing in shed is the project. Wife has been making noises about that ending up with the trailer and caravan and her car in the shed :roll:

Best thing about having small shed on rental property is wife is now convinced that when we build in a couple of years I can have a big (ish) shed. Prob around 12mx 9m at a min. :D (roll on that day I say)
Toy - Zuk chassis tub, hilux 4.88 axles and transfer, Nissan CA18DE motor and auto trans, sc12 supercharger, 32 10'5 simex, twin motor 8274 custom freespool. Well the parts are all there in various corners of the shed

Used to have a 9x11mtr garage, but now I can't even get my car or truck in the little thing I have here. The one we have now used to be a carport and they have added a roller door and a wall at the rear and called it a garage! Huh I wouldn't even call it a carport as it wouldn't even fit my car in it!! :lol: :lol:

Motorbike and tools are about the only things that I can get in the one we have now. :(

I have a little 5 x 7 m shed with more stuff than it will hold :? :?
And a tilt a door that is too low to get the trucks under anyway.
I'm thinking of putting a carport in front of it so that I have somewhere dry to work on the truck.
The problem is that I would have to spend money on the carport that I would rather spend on mods to the truck :( :(
There is no mechanical problem so difficult that it cannot be solved by brute strength and ignorance.

Been taking a few today, err 4am, was yesterday in Austin Texas. Lots of rigs running round here on 37s or 40s and plenty with doors off. Tyres that stick out way past the wheel arches. Got some shots of a wee chevy blazer tricked up with a winch and a rock crawlin front bar.
Now how do i post those pics again?
