I hope it does become a bit of a gathering point for some good mates out this way.
Wouldnt mind them playing with there GT's, 39 coupes, 32 roadster, 40 willys coupe, a couple of XU1's would make me a happy man to have them parked in and around the shed, enjoying a beer ad working out how to best attack a roof chop on the little Humber Hawk.

That's what I meant ! You wouldn't be seen dead in it because of the curtains hiding the coffin !

The builder has got 3 sections of the slab done and he layed the formwork, plastic and mesh for the last slab this morning.

I made it back home just after 2pm today after a long long drive.
Very happy to see a full slab in the shed and formwork in place for "driveway" ramps into shed.
This is being poured tomorrow morning, so I will get the inspectors over on Friday or early next week.
Then I can take out wall and join teh 2 sheds together and have the last part between both sheds done.
Very Happy.

I'm jealous, With all that nice dry heat up there I hope you're putting some sort of exhaust fan up in the top of the back wall !

I will see how I go for the first summer, the roller doors open to the north (so least amount of tin to heat up as possable), if need be I will buy a couple of decomissioned swampy coolers, alot of big offices and shops are going reverse cycle air out here so you can buy reco swampies for about $500 for a big one. I have a small one on original shed.
The shed is also lined on all walls and roof with insulation.

Coolers sound nice in theory ( I acquired a monster air conditioner from a local mine) BUT who wants to work in a closed shed ??? I never used the air con because I didn't like being in a closed box. Although your shed is pretty 'spacey' mine is only 6 x 9 with 8 foot walls.(too small);)

:LOL: Mine's 3x2, I'd have to remove a wall to aircon it!

The new shed was Christened today.

Yes it does, but as I was informed from a mate earlier today when I sms him that picture "you have plenty of $hit to keep it company"

Rob. Smith 05-07-2011 05:36 AM
What did the Inspector say about the bit of insulation missing that just happens to coincide with the position of the shed next door ?

boxhead 05-07-2011 07:00 AM
He visits next week, they know of my intentions to join the two together.
And advised as long as there are no beams joining the sheds together, then all is ok.
I intend to extend old shed with a frame that is connected to old shed, and free standing an inch or 2 short of new shed, and connect flashing to new shed only.
Flashing join is permitted.

Mando 05-07-2011 08:04 AM
Looks great Boxhead. I just realized that my block of land is 9m wide and your shed is actually wider!

Regards.

Now why would anyone say that?

boxhead 05-08-2011 03:29 AM
No idea, Valiants arent $hit :)

I had teh Cobra and the Valiant at a car show today, the Valiant won Best Classic Chrysler, the Cobra came home empty handed.

FAARk a council with common sense...I just had a fight with my council mob that said the storm-water drains were mine..in suburbia ? They won because they changed the rules the day after I complained...now I DO own the storm water drains ! I think I'll plug em up with concrete. I don't need em !.....but the neighbours do though. We'll see what the council says then. They're mine Now...ha ha ha
