Every blokes dream... sort of.

I'm lucky, I live in the country on a small block, 2 Acres. Not a lot, but enough to feed ol' meathead and to have a shed. And it's a hell of a shed, 7000 sq ft give or take a foot or two. You can see one end of it in the pic on the right. What you can see is about a quarter of it. The house is down on the left and that's not a small house. Now a lot of blokes have come out, have taken one one look and gone gaga. Admittedly it's got a few toys: A 6 foot gap bed Lathe, couple of welders, gas plant and the like, all a bit like their owner; getting past their "use-by" date . Now there is one law that supercedes even that bastard Murphy and that is

"A mans junk shall expand to fill the available space."

Now if you had a business for a while that involved machinery, trucks and such, supplementary junk law "A" takes effect which says "Substitute 'fill' for 'overflow'". There are other supplementary laws involving Children along the lines of "They leave, their junk stays" but discussing the detail of those subsets would be getting way too complicated. Suffice to say that overflow was putting it mildly. I have however made progress. I've had two truckloads (about 8 tonnes) of scrap taken away already. More to go soon but the cars are the thing. Good grief how did I collect so many vehicles. If you happen to be looking for parts I can supply from:

2 Lada Classics 1500 5 speed versions
65 Mini 850 Complete with set of new tyres
68 Hillman Imp Body only motor and trans sold
86 Toyota Crown complete
81 Ford Cargo minus cab but with motor and 4 stage Allison trans
1 Hako Minisweeper
Plus heaps more, too many to list. And that's just the vehicles.

When I saw this place before we bought it I just fell in love. Now I'm having to clean it up. The scrap man loves me, but for me the flush has worn off somewhat.

So guys, be careful about wishing for that dream shed.... you might just get it. Right now I'd settle for a single room hut with a leanto on the banks of the Wanganui.....with just enough room for the canoe or two.
