This is a long time dream for me Andy. It's pretty cool to see it taking shape.

Great looking shed Krait. It's a shame you have to move away from it. I hope you have some decent shed options at the new place.

I thought about doing the slab first and then building the frame, there are some definite pluses going that way. However I decided on building the frame and then pouring the slab for a couple of reasons, the main one being you get a good seal around the bottom edge of the sheeting. The other is that you don't have any bolts or plates exposed at the bottom of the columns. The way they build these the concrete covers them. It all makes for a neater finish inside. The other thing on my mind was the winter weather starting to set in. If my nice new slab got rained on I would be pretty upset.

Cobber, that mower is awesome!! What did it start as before getting the Cobber custom treatment? I almost think we need a separate ride on mower thread.

I bought a Husqvarna 1842 and they threw in a tipping trailer and a matching chainsaw. I looked at the price of 2nd hand Husqvarnas for quite a while and they weren't much less than what I paid new. They seem hold their value well.

Cheers
