As long as we have lived here, in addition to the garage we have had a lovely shed in the backyard. Mostly yard storage but a few years ago I found some shelves in the garbage and made the cr*ppiest wall of shelves you can imagine for car parts - and then 2 1/2 CT90's that belong to my daughter.
Last year I bought (adopted) a basket case of an Austin 7 - and brought it all home and as rain was pending threw it all in the shed, where it remained all winter. This was problematic for me as my Vauxhall parts were behind the Austin parts and everything was getting tighter and tighter.
It was even more problematic for SWMBO who was not only frustrated by the mess, but, with too much time on her hands decided that she needed a she shed.
This is the shed
and this is what it looked like inside
and
Now, the sharper eyed among you may have already noticed that the shed has two doors. This was the key to Mrs JP's proposal, I would get half and she the other half with a wall (Build that wall! :0 ) between them. Ordinarily this would produce a sharp no from me but, with the opportunity to both get accessible storage and being able to continue to occupy my half of the nuptial bed for the foreseeable future meant that plans were made.
First of all the shed needed to be emptied - quite Tardis like come to that.
This meant that I became re-acquainted with the walls for the first time in a very long time.
Yes there is a window in the shed peeking into the garage.
Job one was actually dealing with the aforementioned doors - right hand door was into the shed, left hand a cupboard of sorts.
remove the shelves
No pic of me cutting through the back - but you knew it was coming.
then shelves, lots of shelves - actually two shelves but each two feet deep and high enough to fit two boxes stacked on each.
this pic is a bit deceiving as the stuff on the floor is awaiting the next round of shelves - along the back and one near the roof.
After the shelves came the wall
the actual wall covering is more barnboard from a friend whose barn conveniently collapsed last winter. Unfortunately between social distancing and his truck getting bodywork done it may be a while to get the wood here.
In the meantime though I have managed to get an entire Austin 7, about 20% of a Vauxhall Viva GT, 2 1/2 Hondas and a box of MG Midget - plus ladder and, most importantly for SWMBO, the lawn mower. Still about 8 parts on her side but room can be made.
I am pleased and actually it is much much more accessible.
Next lighting, and the she side of the she shed.
and finally, the end of the day.

A friend of mine had a new double garage built and came home from work one day to find that his now ex wife, had also "relocated" a shed load of stuff into the new garage! You guessed it, another forced she shed
