I know you've all been riveted by the saga that is Stoner's Grand Shed Designs.
Finally got round to taking some photos of it today, encouraged by [url= http://www.singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/show-me-your-shed-and-clever-storage-options ]jazid's thread[/url], despite finishing the shed a few months ago.

And some middleclassworld stuff on the insulated wine store performance in a bit when Ive analysed the data logger download.
you could of had a tidy up 😆
lovely that, well done that man
freakishly tidy!
If Carlsberg made sheds....... 8)
Shares in On-one.?
You need to get your priorities right and spend less on the shed and more on the bikes! Tsk.
😉

If Only! 😉
And there's one more On-One that wont fit in there, has to go in the garage:

Thought Id run the feather duster over, just for you lot.
Middleclasstrackworld update, data from the wine store data logger.
Store is made of whole sheets of 50mm Xtratherm R insulation. Taped at joints with aluminium tape. Shed is insulated in the roof and clad walls the same, but no insulation to brick dwarf walls or at roof verge/soffits. Store open to the uninsulated concrete slab at the bottom. Takes 540 bottles, two deep in the rack:

Insulation seems to do a pretty good job of smoothing out temp fluctuations, and just about keeping the temp down under 14degs. Might need to look at a chiller element for the height of summer though.[img]

Stoner, Your Xtracycle/ trailer combo. I need that, it fulfils all my middle class hippy, baby on the way needs. Is that trailer a pram as well? how do you find the Xtracycle on an inbred? WANT WANT WANT!
Oh yeah, good looking shed!
Jeez what a wine rack! 😯
Heres the number for AA should you need it 0845 769 7555 😆
the trailer is a croozer.
Mrs S uses it as a jogger. Can also be converted to a "pram" with a jockey wheel on the front as opposed to the jogger wheel.
Bloody brilliant. Been all over europe with it with Jr Sr. Now Jr Jr is enjoying it.

the xtracycle is brilliant. Only problem is we're now just a bit too far away from the shops to use it for shopping, so I use it as a team pub bike.

Can you post a link to your data logger too please.
nice shed
you just need some decent bikes now
this one

better link http://www.lascarelectronics.com/data-logger/
comes with v simple software.
Massive life on the battery. Just sits there recording temperatures at the times you tell it to. Waterproof.
Two of these.

And one of these please.

Hey,
Cool shed, but more importantly how did you get the high low range on the chart, also can this data be presented in a table?
Thanks
come round the front to be served stu 😉

I take archive data handily provided by a local meteo geek:
http://www.malvernwx.co.uk/archive.htm
I set the datalogger to record at 03:00 and 15:00 for high low Shed values. I use the archive data for hi/lo air values.
For graphing I just used a very basic technique - overlay a coloured area datarange with a white data range to make it look like a floating range. Other more sophisticated techniques can be used, but I was just chucking the data together for tonights pleasure.
palmer - published to a table in googledocs for you
EDIT Harrumph, gogoledocs only does yankee dates for me. So data starts 6/2/2011 in english.
You quite like On one then?
Luv that you've got your son's? bike hanging up with yours 8)
actually he's moved on to the red bike on the back of the trailer in a picture up there. I dont hang it up in there because he cant get it down and he likes to ride it many times a day so its in the woodstore where he can get it.
I love on-ones.
Mrs S and I rode across spain and france on pomps.
inbred was my second proper mtb, i fell in love with the geometry.
I went scandal 29er when my FS cracked under warranty and never went back to 26".
Mrs S wanted an mtb, so a 456 ready build was great value for money.
Mrs S is into tri, so a planet c carbon SL is great value for money.
and finally when I got a bit of spare pocket money, I went for the Ti29, and I just dont see mysefl needing another bike for along, long time.
I confess it's not wholly On-One, its actually Brant Richards designed stuff, so im a walking STW cliche.
Dammit, I'm going to have to make more effort than I have so far in my new garage....
Liking it Stoner 😀
got pics OMITN? I love pics. might have noticed 🙄 😉
Not yet, Stoner. Just moved into house, so garage is filled with boxes, bikes, furniture....
Pics will follow when it's done. Shan't be as glam as your hideout, but *whisper it* there might be a little mural.... 😉
I want to live in ur shed...that's so good, awesome in fact 🙂
Like the Croozer. Poor man's chariot though. Good job on the shed. Looks great.
blimey, thats one hell of a 'man cave', jealous me.
oreetwoman is always complaining about the bikes/tools/mags/muddy clothing in the dinning room saying that i should leave them outside as a dinning room is for guests/eating and the dinning room table is ''NOT A WORK BENCH'' ,thought about installing a vice on it recently,, she will never know how lucky she is to have such an understanding mon,,,,,, i ask you.
my dream is for a little pokey house (less furniture/heating/decorating etcetc) semi rural with a big garden so as i can build my own man cave to sit/sleep in, glug my homebrew and,,, well,,, avoid oreetwomen,,,,, ahhh,,,, maybe one day when she gets a better job 😀

No one likes a show off but Top work
you need a hammock stoner, that way she will never know 🙂
😛 @ JY
Forget all that stupid wine cooler poncery; where do you store the beer, man, the beer??! 😯
S'ok, but I wish I had pics of my uncle's shed. He's an electronic engineer, worked for NASA, ESA, and all sorts. There's stuff in his shed which has loads of buttons and switches and screens and things that go 'Ping!'. There used to be things with valves that glowed, and those lightbulb style number displays. Little screens with waveforms scrolling across them. Equipment that tracked the progress of various satellites and stuff. I had no idea what any of it really meant, but it looked so cool.
Stoner, it looks too much like a work shed. Get rid of some of those benches and stuff, get a knackered old sofa in there, a flatscreen telly, loads of pron on a server thingy, and some old Star Wars toys, pinball machine etc. Turn it into a proper Man Cave.
It's far too neat to suggest any real stuff gets done in there. Bit like how people have kitchens full of Le Creuset pots and pans and that, but never cook...

yeah. I know what you mean. All of stoner towers what built by pixies and un-unionised immigrant labour. I just sat in the shed polishing my tool.
You want to see WCA's garage. You [i]know[/i] stuff happens in there. Like unexpected but actually quite dangerous fires, major paint spillages, Honda Integra Type R engine strip-downs, etc. What a mess.
And it's full of stuff. Bikes, bits of car, canoes, axes, beer...
He's even got a sauna in there! No, it's true!
hmm, no fire alarm in mine. best not let WCA near it...
#impressed#
I hope those are LED spots.
LED spots
of course.
but the lamp is a big brute of a halogen thing. Just for pointing at the bike im working on in the bikestand.

I've a bit of an electrickery issue in my garage. There are no sockets on the workbench side of the garage.
I can't do anything with the ceiling (asbestos insulating board - lethal if drilled/broken), so I can only run an extension cable from a socket - tacked around the wall near the ceiling, or across the floor with rubber trunking?
I wouldnt put any cable on the floor unless it was armoured (drop a metal box on the insulation....bang)
Just run some cable along the wall and either have it on a plug at one end or take a spur off the socket directly.

Yep, fair enough. Trouble is, the only obvious socket already seems to have some lash-up daisy chained double socket off it (via a plug).
RCD I think..!
**** me that xtracycle would be perfect for my unused frame & nexus wheel utility/pub/leave-at-mate's-house-in-the-country-and-run-home project.
it will probably be for sale....in about 4 yrs time when Jr Jr can ride all the way to the pub 😉
I hope he doesn't get too pissed to ride home.
WTF 😮
$364 in the US and £449 in the UK???
Blood ace shed mate. 😀
Thinking back, didnt you post pics the day you built that xtracycle...
Would still love one, but out of my reach. My lads are really in to riding their own bikes to school so trying to get them into that.
cynic-al...I think it was Charliethebikemenoger who said he could do me one on bike-to-work, but I'm still waiting for my company to sign up.
I started this as a cheaper alternative... 🙂

How about a 22W or 36W strip light to replace the halogen spot, they cost peanuts and spread light well.
