Resurrecting this thread from 9 months ago...!!!
One thing I’ve come to realise is that I was kidding myself to think I would be able to do 70hrs per week at work and also get the shed done. I am also too tight to pay a company to finish the shed. As such, it had to wait until my work with the Commonwealth Games came to an end. With the work finished, now I have time to start playing with the shed again.
As a reminder, the slab was down and the roof battens are in place.
As the frame had been sitting in the elements for almost a year by now, I decided to sand back the paint and give it another coat. I chose a different colour, so it was necessary to paint the entire thing again regardless of whether the existing paint looked weathered or perfect. Dad and I painted the lot with a 100mm roller and a 75mm brush
In the photo above you can see the old darker colour along with new lighter colour as we worked our way through it.
It was necessary to weld in some 100x100 box section into the beams for the battens to attach to. Some people are less worried about heights than others. (That’s not me standing up there like that...)
With the frame painted, the next step was to have the doors fitted. I went with B&D Firmadoor Series 2 Industrial doors, 4200mm high. Another smaller door - 2900H x 2400H - went in to the back wall for a bit of air flow.
Colorbond Terrain colour.
...and then the roof and wall sheeting was delivered! Next update should show the frame looking a bit more like a shed. I can’t wait!
