attic invasion,,needed more room for bikes

Postby Xcruiser on Fri Apr 27, 2012 2:03 pm

My attic has always been 3 feet deep with boxes of retired,useless stuff and I needed more room for my bike addiction so I hit the attic hard for 4 days and Im still not done.Managed to get 19 bikes up two flights of stairs from my basement and the overflow in the driveway.Needless to say my right arm is Jello now.Ill get the rest up sooner or later.
Worked out well id say.Its a hardwood loft attic all wide open except for the center stairwell.

Looks great! :D Your lucky you have a big attic :shock:

By the way, are you getting rid of any diecast cars?(Hot Wheels, Matchbox, etc.) :D
Wake up every morning wondering what new bike I'll find!
If you don't have pics, it probably didn't happen!
