Hi all,
This is what I've been at during my break, securing a nice, dry, wooden shed at Gran's for my washer collection. I've plumbed it up to the nearest outdoor water tap on the farm and it has working taps at the sink (I found it lying around and assembled it here LOL) both give out a decent stream of COLD water, I don't have the luxury of HOT water but thankfully most if not all of my future collection will have heaters built in. It also features 4 sockets although only one machine can be heating at anytime and a drain. The use of rubber hose for the plumbing is genius as it provides an expandable infrastructure and it hardly leaks (any leaks that I've seen are tiny and they don't fall on the floor, instead they travel down the pipes and fall outside). The wooden construction of the shed is insulated and it is as warm as any of your garages if not warmer and as soon as you start working in here the heat is lovely. As you will see I have a small and mismatched collection and it will stay like this until I get collecting for real next year, the Hoover 1321A will be retired to the back of the shed and the Servis Spin Dryer will be returned to its rightful owner (Gran LOL). I have space for about 6 machines in here but as this is temporary storage until I move out I wouldn't say I'd reach the quota. All of the cleaning, tidying, installing, contructing and testing work was done by myself.
Here is the panorama (on the right is Great Gran's vintage sewing machine!)... Enjoy!
