The start of a new man cave
« on: June 25, 2021, 08:23:46 AM »
My existing man cave was built on the cheap 23 years ago and the builder did say it'll last you 20 years and he was right... So, a temporary man cave has been found in the shape of a 20' shipping container in a fetching green. I'm moving everything I'm keeping into the container this weekend and everything I'm not is going in a skip !

Did you buy or hire the container?

It's on hire from a local company in Newcastle for a very reasonable £15 a week.

That is a very fair price  :thumb:
It is just a shame it as spoilt your view but I suppose it is only temporary

So, the transfer of gubbins from garage to container has begun. The GSX750E (US model) is going on Tuesday so it's appropriate bits have been boxed up ready to go to their new home. I've still got a fair bit to move but it should all go in the lockers I blagged from work. I've found a company that makes the locks so I can get them all to operate on a single key which will be a blessing. I've got two wheeled tool chests to move over and some power tools but it's looking good so far  :thumb:

I don't know what it is on the floor but it's a slippy as Rod Hull's roof - lethal when wet. i guess it must be to help cargo slide in and out ?

It looks like the flooring that is used in the lorry’s that I load and unload all day long at work it is slippery and hard wearing

Good luck with moving all the stuff and building a new man cave  :thumb:

No idea, but it's hidden and a bugger to open even with the key !

Your old man cave was a very nice size, will your new one be similar size ?
