No Tom, you're not getting soft, it's just too 'parky' to be out for any length of time.

Far too cold to be working on cars outside. Our resto probably won't be touched much til March now. I'm not sure I'd do another big restoration without use of a garage. There are 6 months of the years when it's too wet and cold to do much and everything is dragged out that much longer. Plus it leeches the joy out of it when you're working in uncomfortable conditions.

Garages are for such things, with a heater on! Your not too old, just too tight to build a bigger shed/ garage!

We Scots may be careful with our money, though we have mixed feelings about Global Warming. Because we all get to sit on the mountains and watch the English drown
The five motorbikes and not willing to put any outside hampers options, the lathe and 2 mills put paid to the Defender ever getting in the garage. Was thinking of a car port.

Sit down and add up the cost to build similar quality. Wood is expensive! Think those prices include the build too.
Thing is. It is best to be happy with what you have, as you cannot have it all. You are doing not bad at all Tom. No, car ports are good.
I have 8metre car port leaning onto east elevation of house. This means shelter from prevailing wind and rain. It opens into 6x4 garage and is fenced off to next neighbours. It has had Landy engines suspended across purlins. Built the boat in pic through 2 years and 2 winters. You would have needed a huge shed to do that. The timbers were 24ft long from the whole larch tree.

Beautiful boat, a lot of work gone into that, not sure if you saw the post I did of a friends boat, he is a retired boat builder: https://www.mig-welding.co.uk/forum/threads/lockdown-boat-build.107787/#post-1723281
after owning a 45ft boat , and a 36ft shed ,,, the one thing I vowed is that I would never again own anything bigger than the shed I have to put it in ...
too old for working outside , nope , have to makes a hard master .
just too wise to want to do it for fun.

I took one look at that and thought OMG the new lacquer has peeled badly
It seems strange that you don't have snow when all the way down south we have about 2 inches of the stuff sitting around

-8 here this morning, everything is still white. Snow to start Friday then over the weekend on the hills, so picking up new motorbike with trailer tomorrow decided against riding home in the sub zero temperatures.

Glad you are no longer young and daft. It may have ended badly
