Hello All
My lovely wife has asked me very nicely to shift my bike and turbo out of the conservatory, or else! I was wondering if anyone turbo's in a shed, was thinking of buying a new one and getting an electrical supply run to it.
Many thanks

Its only an 8x5 too!
I have my frames mounted on the walls with hooks everywhere for wheels, track pump tyres helmet etc and i have also run electricity from the house to it, so now have a double socket and 2 lights mounted on the ceiling.
When its cold i just plug a heater up and run that to warm the place up then turn it off once iv been riding a while.
I am now in the process of double skinning the walls making my own cavity wall insulation in effect.... then put some retractable shelves in and that will house my laptop for films or testing...
Dont forget to but a catch on the inside so you can lock the door from the inside!!! Thus not relaying on the missis to come and unlock the shed after your session lol [:D]
Hope this helps!! If you want any photos i send you some!
Would appreciate seeing a couple of photos if you have them.
Cheers
Parents in law bought a new tv, so thinking of moving their old one to my garage, which would be great for me, don't know if the lovely wife will like the idea of me spending the evenings in the garage.[>:][:D]
Off to the turbo, since my daughter is asleep, that makes it the perfect time to train now.
PS:I live here for 6 years now(built this house and garage new myself), have 2 cars, but never ever did one of them set tyre in my garage. Suppose I'll keep it that way for as long as possible.[image]http://forum.220magazine.com/micons/m6.gif[/image]
Not got the double skinning done yet.... thats my plan over christmas to get done...
Me and my girlfriends Uncle put the electric in ourselves took about 6 hours in total.
We have a patio and slabbed path leading to the shed, i just dug a tunnel under the path from the house to the neighbours wall then run the cable along the base of the garden wall all the way up2 the shed. Ill get some pics of the cable runs and where i dug the tunnel etc. I couldnt take the slabs up as they were concreted in so that took a good couple of hours to do with a trowel LOL
Its quite good, well i like it anyway and keeps me out of trouble on an evening after work! Leaves the missis to watch the soaps and sh*t TV![:D]
Ill post the pics at the weekend!!
Look forward to seeing some pics Hussler
Thanks everyone
I have 3 sheds .. one of which was my car maintenance shed and it is now used as bike storage and multigym and soon to be turbo trainer if I get round to buying one. The other two sheds are small and are just used to store garden equipment, Beer fridge and fryer etc ... yes I know Beer fridge should really be made redundant
You get some strange looks with the garage door open in mid-winter revealing this bloke dressed in lycra sweating over a bike on a turbo trainer!
I'm sure its no conincidence, but the neighbours have just sold up and moved.
Shouting out when I'v hit my trainning targets very loudly..... Singing along to what ever is playing on the HI FI.....
Playing the music loud..... Watching videos with out others talking at the most important bits.....
No house phone ringing.....
Sounds like Heaven.....
Any surgestions on the best type of shed to buy?
[:)][:)][:)][:)][:)]
There is plenty of room even tho its only an 8x5 shed... least it keeps me out of trouble with the missis! lol[:D]
..... does anyone know why the photos arent showing????
If anyone wants to see the pics then give me your email and ill send them to that!!!
