Collection being moved permanently. Stage 1 complete

[matchboxpaul]

Hi Leon.

It's going to look great and can't wait till you are able to show us the pics of your collection settled in their new home.

Good luck with getting everything finished and the big move.

Thanks!

Thanks to the majority of you all for your nice comments, much appreciated!

 

A couple of answers to some questions:

 

Chris (gizmo): The shed is from Titan so their red colour is called 'Heritage Red'. If you look at Colourbond's chart, i'm pretty sure it's 'Manor Red'

 

Justin (countryford): the dimensions in feet are: 29ft 7.5inches x 22 ft 11 inches and with a 9ft ceiling height.

 

Kevin (RevvinKevin): mum and dad live about a 30 minute drive from David's place, so not really far at all.

 

And yes: as some of you have stated, I have the most wonderful parents who have enabled this to happen. They'll certainly get to see me a little bit more when I go over and work on the 'babies' !

 

Oh...and Paul: I have that exact same Hoover and have been promised 2 more from an Australian Hoover engineer: which were pre-production models hand built.

 

And thanks Nathan for always saying things very eloquently!

 

Cheers

Leon

Wonderful news. New shed looks great. Can't wait to see the machines in the new home. Great you are moving in with David.

Many of us living in colder climates would love to have a building like that.

Can't wait to see it fully occupied

New Australian Appliance Museum

Wow Leon, after all the planning and prep work the building really went up fast.

 

But I know there is still a lot of work and additional expense ahead.

 

Thanks again to you and David, your parents and Michael and Nathan for feeding and housing me on my two wonderful weeks in Australia in September.

 

I can't wait to visit again sometime, John L.

Congrats!

Congrats and keep us updated! And if you need any help finding vintage laminates or other finishes to go the extra mile, give me a holler, or ask the gals at retro renovation.

That's dedication....

That's an amazing show of devotion, first on the part of your parents, and then you for spending what must be a large sum on a purpose-built building for your collection.

My only regret is selfish... it's too far away for me to visit.
