Garage update # 6
Guy's,
The brickie's arrived today..
They will be setting out and laying a run of 3 high.
From there we take measurements for the steel (there are 4 x 500kg RHS'S) to be made and installed.

Stiffy, 6 threads in a little over two weeks - those builders must feel like they're on a reality TV show!  |

Hey dont be critical, without this 6th thread I would never have realised Stiffy was building a new shed.

I think it's great. I'm really enjoying these Garage update threads. I'll have to do one when I build my next shed.
Keep em coming Stiffy.

Day 1
Guy's,
Day 1 with the brickies.
I have had to reduce both garage doors from 5400mm to 5100mm, they remain at 2400mm High. The builder and Brickie think there should be bigger pillars. I tend to agree as the steel beams are bloody heavy.
I can now see where some of the stuff will go, like the water tanks, compressor, enclosed dirty area, work area, sink, tool wall (that will be small ) pole dancing area and so on.......
Work Area
Bar
Bogger
Display Area
Back Yard
They were there bright and early today bricking up to 3 meters, installing the window and door frame. They will be making the pillars today as well.

Blue, but cold!
Good to see you are saving money by not utilising a Structural Engineer
Then again you may be wasting money by using over sized RSJ's

Engineers
PCC,
I have done everything correctly....
Resurveyed the block
Engineers for the roof and metal sections
Soil test
Correct permits
Independent Building Inspectors
Slab/structural engineers
Draftspeople for designs
Approved Asbestos Removals
Owner Builders permit
the list goes on.
It has cost over $15k just to get the backyard ready for the slab people.

Mate - $15k for approvals - bloody hell that is one hell of a ratio against final cost!
I'd have no work if I had to price that into a job.
I'll stick to my Power Stations, Sewage Plants and Freeway works

...but think of the cost savings in not having to buy mower fuel any more. Just like my Greek next door neighbour said; "We came, we saw, we concreted"

More Pic's
Guy's,
The brickies worked their magic on Friday and the results are as follows,
They are back tomorrow to finish the bulk of the bricks. We then have to fill some of the pillars with concrete and let them dry.
In the mean time we have ordered the Lentels and some of the metal. It has to be gal as I am close to the beach (more cost and delay) but it will give time for the pillars to dry and to arrange a crane to install.
