The Great 2012 Shed-Off

[syncropaddy]

Not for the moment. It'll cost about the same as a diff and 'box rebuild to insulate! In the future it will be done but for now some concrete and a 4th wall with a roller door. Then the benches, lighting and power points ...... watch this space as they say.

Not exactly a shed ... But finally got some decent weather so power floated the garage floor, shall thank myself for that when on my back under the vans

Bit of progress here too.

From this ......



to this .....





Hopefully Ill have it sealed and electricity installed by the end of the month

I had a neighbour in Oz when I was a kid who built sheds for a living. His companies motto was "Guaranteed Erections" I laughed at that one when I was old enough to understand it.

I ended up calling my company Peninsula Construction. I wanted to call it "Total Erections ltd" still can't work out why my wife wouldn't let me!!!!!!!

I was going to call mine "Well Plastered" but bottled out.

My first UK Ltd Company was called AVAGO. Because that is exactly what I was going to do. "Have a go". It wasn't because I hard. I'm a bit soft in the middle.

I think its progress ...... considering Ive spent 6 days this month abroad, clocked up over 6,000 business kms in the remaining 24 odd days and laid 100 meters of 4 rail post and rail fence ..... yeah its progress !!

[syncropaddy]

Almost there now .... Next job is to Install the doors, kit out the inside with benches, electricity, compressed air and places to put stuff !!

Looks like the weather may break tonight/tomorrow down here, very humid, so best get the garden shed roof re-felted tonight. Did all the timber repairs Sunday avo so time to get tarred and feathered!

I'm offski

You guys have skills!

Up here we cant really build anything without digging, insulating the ground and making solid foundations. The ground will freeze 1,5m down and if thers water in there things on top WILL move about. So when the house was almost done I had our property prepared for building the big shed. The lorry had to make 37 trips to remove the masses required. Our house is in a hillside so the property doesnt really have a flat spot. We have three boys, two are drummers like me. So we need a room for our drumkits. Adding a room to the garage/shed seemed only logical

Made formwork in december. It is 8mx8m.

February



Today the roofing is on and insulation is in place (15cm). Still to do: floor with heating and doors.

[syncropaddy]

Puts us all to shame ....

I had to remove 100 cu meters to get down to the level I wanted. It takes time!

[jes*b]

Nice to see

[syncropaddy]

Finished .....



Today I started to move everything from old shed to new shed ........

Where the hell did I get all this stuff from ????

Its taken a whole day just to move it never mind put it away!
