    man/trike cave buttoned up nicely!!

    built this back in 09, thread is on here somewhere. its colder than a witches tit in the winter, and i swore last yr i would get this done, low and behold I did!! been working my arse off on several different things lately. glad this is checked off the list. just got to trim out my windows! I also had to button up the soffits on the outside. All done!! Moved some toys back in monday! still have some decorating to do couple little things. should hold heat like an oven this winter. I have the little woodstove if i'm gonna be out there for awhile. Also have an 8' 220v piece of baseboard, and a 2 burner ifrared heater for the propane tank. Next yr i;m gonna put a ventless propane wall mounted heater in there. my dad has a few in his barn that arnt being used. need to find like a 50 gallon tank for it.




    these are the pics of the way its been for the last 2 yrs!! other than its usually packed with trikes!!

    How do you get you trikes on the second story? Ramps and prayers? One helluva wheelie? And nice shop! I wish mine was that nice!
    This is my trike. There are many like it but this one is mine. My trike is my best friend, and it is my life. I must master it as I must master myself. My trike without me is useless. Without my trike, I am useless. I must ride my trike true. My trike and I know that what counts is not the amount of miles we ride, but the time we ride together. My trike is human in it's own ways, therefore I will learn it as my brother. I will learn it's weaknesses, it's strengths, it's parts, and it's soul.

    Nice work. I will also be using osb painted white for my sheating. Hopefully two coats will do it. You'll be sooo much more comfortable with some heat this winter.

    Awesome set-up. I have been thinking about building a loft on the back end of my garage for trikes and making it tall enough for part of my car to fit under so I can still use that car space. Can you please tell me how tall and how deep your loft is. Do you just us a ramp (if so how long are your ramps)? How painful is it to get them up there?
    Thanks and nice work.

    thanks for the compliments guys. ya stud, thats why it initially got built!! garage was packed, my bay was full, and then my wifes side started filling up. she wasnt having it! First time i had the old speckled in awhile!! def good stuff!! i will try and get some measurements later on the dimensions. as for getting them up there!! there is no secret, i use the tri fold ramp for my truck and basically muscle em up! i wish my ramp was about a foot longer!! it is steep!! the auto's arnt bad, you can feather them up with the throttle, pretty easy in reverse! the quad is a real pain. any lesser man would not be able to do it alone!!
