Re: Shed makeover

Hi @JoeAzza 

 

Thank you for sharing this shed makeover. The mobile work bench is huge and adding the workbench makes it so much more practical. Adding the Steele shelves has definitely organized the area. I'm sure your friend's husband will be very surprised when he sees the improvement in his shed.
