Hi guys,
I've been working hard getting the shed to a point where it's nearly finished.
Some more decoration and placement of advertising material and it'll be finished.
Enjoy the pics.
Cheers Leon |

Hi Leon,
Absolutely tremendous ! The signs, advertising, small appliances and vintage advertising all make it not look like a shed but rather a really captivating space. Your hard work is worth the effort. I love the Mistral Gyro-Aire fans. We had two of them when I was young. I believe they were an award-winning design in their time, and then I remember the scandal when they started causing house fires. The advice if you had one was to smash it before disposing of it so it would be unusable in case someone found it and decided to use it. I occasionally used to find them smashed up and put out for the roadside council clean-up. Despite the danger, I have a soft spot for those fans. Anyway, awesome work. Congratulations ! Tim |

Chris: Yes, that is a Semi-automatic Kelvinator in Photo #8 with the splashy 'orbital' action. As to the Gyro-aires: yes, was always aware you were not supposed to use them after the recall: they're for display purposes. I've always liked the design.
Fred: The 'Harvest Gold' machine you see is an Australian made 'Wilkins Servis' 506: essentially a copy of the US Maytag with the Pitman drive transmission.
Glenn: I started collecting electric fans long before washing machines: so the idea is to show all my collections: fans, washing machines, Sunbeam mixmasters, Kenwood Chef's and associated laundry memorabilia.
Cheers Leon |

I can see why you have been so quite lately, you have made incredible progress, I can't wait to see it in person again some day.
All the appliances look so happy including the ones we shipped from the States, it looks like they have blended in very well.
I hope you Dad & Mom are as impressed as we all are and I hope David is excited about it as well.
John
