It has got me stuffed what is going on?
I have posted 1 or 2 pics in the past :) but not working for me now. It seems to be deleting some of the numbers from file location? The new pics are in my gallery, I will try again tonight or tomorrow, with latest pics. I snuck home just after lunch and all the main frame was up, and builder was starting on batons, says he will start sheeting tomorrow. |
Here are last nights pics.
I have added a troop carrier into one of the bays to give an idea of scale. [IMG]http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj100/cobraboxhead/Shed/P10****9.jpg[/IMG] http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/j...d/P1020330.jpg http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/j...d/P1020331.jpg |
It's starting to look like a shed David. You gotta be happy.
Cheers |
Boxhead yours is quite big isn't it?
Regards. |
Thats quite some erection you have going there.
|
In NSW we call that a factory.
My shed is the same size as the troop carrier. Dennis |
It was a little overcast in Alice this morning.
Pic from the house and get a beter idea of size (pic is from upsatirs balcony) http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/j...ad/photo-6.jpg |

Hey Boxhead, you know you now hold bragging rights to the biggest "shed". It's bloody HUGE!

LOL Dave, I actually bought that to use to assemble the shed (I was going to put it up myself - but realised I was beter off to pay someone and have it done in 2 - 3 weeks instead of 6 months it woul take me)
So I took on a part time second job and that has paid for the shed build (I hate loans apart from house). The truck is X - Ansett and was used at Alice Springs airport from 1972 till approx 1990. It has (from memory) 6200 miles on the speedo. Will most likely donate it to one of 2 museums out here (Conellan air or Road Transport Hall of Fame) http://www.nt.gov.au/nreta/arts/ascp/caam.html or http://www.roadtransporthall.com/ind...&id=1&Itemid=2 It drives (brakes dodgy and tyres need replacing) and all hydraulics for stairs and legs work. |
Here are some pics from last night.

It's nearly finished David. Looking really good.
I've been digging storm water trenches around my place. I've got to get the overflow pipes from the tanks finished before the weather turns wet (wetter than the summer we had anyway). That's the final thing to get done to sign off the building permit. Cheers |
Good point about the water tank.
I always planned on getting one but did not think about gutters and down pipes, looks like the shed kit has the down pipes at opposite corners, so I guess when I get the tank I will need to move the downpipe from L/H front to the back (as tank will be behind shed) But the down pipe is best at front till tank is in, or water will pool behind the shed. |
I'll snap a pic of how I ran my down pipes tonight. Mine run across the back of the shed to where the two tanks sit on one side.
Cheers |
Went home for lunch, did not take camera as I expected no work to have been done.
Well even though it has rained all day in town, very little rain out my way, so roof is actually on. |
Here are some pics when I got home last night.
http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/j...d/P1020350.jpg The gap between the 2 sheds will be closed in by lengthening the silver one, as long as I do not connect any girt beams from one shed to the other, they are classed as free standing, sheeting and flashing may join, but not main beams. http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/j...d/P1020352.jpg Here is the sheeting that will be taken out to join them together. http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/j...d/P1020354.jpg http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/j...d/P1020356.jpg View from front door. http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/j...d/P1020353.jpg Area where roller doors go. http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/j...d/P1020355.jpg I was chatting to him this morning and asked why no insulation in roof, he said with it drizzling yesterday he could not stick it down as double sided tape was getting too wet. So the roof sheets only have a couple of screws in them. and he says he will lift and pull the insulation through. I am was not too happy with this as double handling (removing screws) always means extra time taken (which I end up having to pay for), and I also fear the insulation will get caught on the holes that the screws have made and tear the insulation. |
Do you make him pick up dropped screws too Dave?
|
Tradies cleaning up after themselves, you have got to be f##kin' joking don't you Gav?
|
I cant see any reason not to expect him to pick up his rubbish.
When you take your car in to be serviced, would you be happy if the old oil filter was sitting on the front floor? Or fingerprints around the door frame. Why should a different expectation be on a motor mechanic as opposed to a builder? Or Electrician? |
