That's a good look Mike, it really gives the shed a barn feel. I love it!
Regards. |
Very nice. You can not have too much room!
Best wishes, Russell |
Just a small update. I refurbished my old work bench over Christmas. It's come up really nice. I cut the legs down and welded pads on for adjustable feet. It now sit's solid and level. It also got a fresh coat of paint as it looked a bit ugly next to the new wall.

Your clock is showing a quarter to Shelbyfest Mike, you had better hurry up!
|
There's a big problem there - the stubby holder is empty.
Nice work Mike! |
You will have to come over. I've got a couple of new stubby holders that need breaking in.
|
sounds good, I've got a T-56 that needs some magic :)

A bit of an update. I've finally got a concrete drive going in Hooray! No more muddy winter and dusty summer.
Here they are working out all the falls for the storm water drains. http://i1247.photobucket.com/albums/...ps4adaa308.jpg There's plenty of storm water drains in it as I don't want any chance of water going into the shed or garage. The first couple of sections went in yesterday. This is a pad at the side of the shed that will be good for parking the trailer out of the way. http://i1247.photobucket.com/albums/...ps546b69d8.jpg I've got them to put an apron around the whole shed so It'll be easier to go around with the mower. It also hides the bottom edge of the shed slab which looked a bit dodgy from the outside. http://i1247.photobucket.com/albums/...g?t=1359690491 The soil level will be built up to the edge of the concrete. They will do the rest in about 3 seperate pours as it's a large area. They reckon it'll be finished the end of next week. We went with 5" thick 25Mpa and F72 mesh as I want it to be strong and stable especially if there is any heavy traffic across it like trucks taking stuff into the back yard etc. I'm happy it's finally going in. We have had a dirt and gravel drive for 3 years and I'm really tired of it. Cheers |
With the slab that thick Mike, Tulla will be able to land the odd plane on it too!
|
I have extreme shed and driveway envy Mike!

When we lived in Niddre years ago a plane crashed on a row of houses in the next street from us. I don't fancy that happening. |
Looks great Mike - especially that haven at the end of the driveway. We've put an offer on some acreage south east of Melbourne and a proper shed is top of the list of improvements to be done. Can you recommend a shed company and/or tradies for various parts of the job? PM me if you like.

Trusteel built my shed and I'll happily reccomend them. I was very happy with the quality, communication and timelyness of the job. Tell 'em I said so too.
They are based down south east of Melbourne in Mulgrave. Horse stables, Farm Sheds, Steel Sheds, Steel Building Manufacturers, Victoria, Melbourne Cheers Michael |

Hey Mike, excuse my ignorance but do you live in a semi rural area? Curious to know what sorta sheds you can build in certain areas compared to what we can do up here.
Love your shed. I've been trying to sell my house for 3 years and move to a place where I can build a decent shed in my backyard. Its been so long I have 5 different shed designs already sketched out. I had an architect mate do me some drafts as its going to double as a BOMB shelter (Cyclone) for us as well. It'll have all the usual car stuff hoist etc for 4 - 6 + cars plus a fully self contained unit to live in while I rebuild the house the has been blown/washed away! Qld weather.... Spookypt |

The shed is a quality shed, and I was extremely impressed with the guys they had putting it together. I went for 125mm floor with F72 mesh as it could be used for different things in the future. Shed took 1 1/2 weeks to put up and 5 months to get through council. The guys there did all the council applications and were really good to deal with. http://www.clubcobra.com/forums/imag...es/biggrin.gif |

I left the permits side of things to the guys at Trusteel. I just told them what I wanted and where it would be on the block and they did the rest. Cheers |
Glad you are happy with your shed T.L. I reckon Trusteel are first class after my experience with them.
18x15 is huge! is it clear span or a pole barn style like mine? Cheers |
Sheds
Spookypt,
It is possible to build anything anywhere..... it just takes longer and cost more the closer you live to the city. I am less than 10k's from the GPO in Brighton East, my 17 x 9 x 6 meter shed took 12 Months with the council and 18 Months to build. It has 3 hoists, rear shed, bar ( 500 beer capacity ), dunny, shower, bedroom 3 plasma TV's AC/Heating, the plan was to live in when the house is demolished ( I was single then ) think it will be a renter now:eek: STIFFY |
Gold Coast Council knocked back my 12mx12m application until supplied with photos of sheds in the immediate area that were bigger/more visually offensive than the one proposed.
Had 2 lady inspectors come out the check the block to ensure the shed would fit.......yes maam, all the trees will stay. |
Thanks Fellas. Makes sense. Shed envy overload!
