Down Under Wonder- welllllll not quite -
I've cut and pasted a bit of this from my other post in another thread
Long story involving an ex wife and near bankruptcy because of said ex wife. In my other life I had a 16 metre L X 8 metre D X 2.7 metre high at the wall shed, complete with insulation and 3 phase power. You dont realise how much stuff you accumulate until you have to move on.
Anyway I've moved all the gear I managed to keep three times in the last five years. I remarried almost two years ago and my new wife and I have been spending a lot of time renovating the old house we have. Every now and then I have been able to fit in a little time in the shed slowly getting it organised.
The current shed is 6.5 metres long X 3.2 metres wide. I also have a single garage under the house and some additional storage under the house.
I'm still in the setting up process (this working for a living really slows you down .lol). I have a few steel drawer cabinets which you can really store some stuff in. I still have a Bridgeport clone in the garage which I will have to pull apart to move up the back yard to the shed (sloping block). The only access into the shed is though a single side hinged door about 1 metre wide so even if I was able to get the mill up there in one piece it wouldn't go through the door. (sometimes I think basket weaving might have been a better choice for using up my spare time).
I have a small McMillan (Lontaine) lathe, Old Australian made "Richardson" drill press,bench grinder, mig welder and a pile of assorted bits and pieces. I'm still thinking about how/where I'm going to fit the mill in. I'm fairly sure I'll have to relocate some stuff from the back shed to under the house.
The pics show a view taken from roughly the centre looking at each end. Also a shot of one of the local ladies just outside the door.
