You forgot to mention the posh lino on the floor  ;D

I wouldn't say posh, but I'd agree with tasteful, but it doesn't take up much space ... Womble has similar good taste to me and now has the same.

I did, however, forget to mention the small compressor sitting under the processor and the 25 ltr methoxide mixer.  Soon I'll have to stand at the door and work the equipment with broom sticks.

Your shed may be small but it's clean, something I'm struggling with in my new place (hence no photos), but it is cleaner than my last shed.

I see, I give you a complement and that's what I get back, thanks MATE.

I was looking with amazement at all the stuff in my shed today.

It measures 3'6" x 9' and I seem to have managed to pack in

900 litres of filtered oil in 20 litre containers
400 litrs of unfiltered oil in various containers
60 litres of misfuel
4 sheet filtering drums on spill pallets
plus all sorts of empty containers, buckets, drip trays etc

It's pretty snug but it all works quite well. I could do with a door at both ends so it becomes more of a production line.  ;D



very neat compared to my disaster area, there's cubies of watery sludge I refuse to give up on, a burco full of sludge I haven't got around to emptying, 4 20litre gravity filters and some garden tools gathering rust.
There's a carpet under there somewhere too but I haven't seen it since I started filtering wvo and joined the forum, I've got a couple of planks of wood on the floor to keep me from standing on the worst of it.

 14ft x 30ft, just getting some floorspace back as I sell bits and bobs (had a path to the processor and a path to a fridge through the back bit).
 Moved a lot of cubies up the loft, got rid of some glyc and I've 10 metal drums to get shot of then I might have enough room to assemble the new processor.

 The bigger it is, the less disciplined you are about where everythings left lying thought.

 And you keep things you really should get rid of.
