    Default Had win on weekend

    I have to tell someone, I just aquired a new (secondhand shed).

    The guy that used to own the block of land next to where I work sold the block and was going to take the shed away. He lives about an hour away, but after a month of cleaning all his puss out, I offered him cash for the shed for removal. He accepted the offer of $1500 for a 40' x 20' steel framed shed. I couldn't believe it.

    The new shed has the same foot print as my old one, so it will be just a replacement job, and is 10' longer.

    Anyway, less of my prattle and to the pics.

    first one is my existing
    and the rest are the new one, still in situ

    $1500?

    Great steal

    It seems all good sheds have a plastic outdoor table with them.

    No, that's just a shipping container that you can see through the open canopy of the tractor parked there.

    sorry

    Default new shed

    Just an update, I've finally gotten around to pulling down the new shed to transport it home, What a job. Over the few weeks that I had off over Christmas, I was able to clean up the part of the yard that it will go, remove a tree, relocate a vege garden and do a miriad of other things in between the rain that fell almost all the time.

    anways here's some pic's.

    The shed looks great-nice and high in the apex so plenty of room for the heat to rise to. Keep us updated. Looking forward to the fit-out photos!

    Talking finally an update

    Well after much time spent procrastinating and other things the shed has finally started to go up. Stage 1 was the slab for the extra 10' of length.

    That being done, some time went by due to different fitness factors from a accident that seriously broke my leg not long before I aquired the shed, however all is in progress now.

    All my stuff has been packed up to allow for the wall the be removed and now that this part of the shed is in place, I will have to start fitting it out, making sure that it is how I want it so all the gear doesn't have to be moved again. This will take a number of weeks, so stay tuned for the next installment.

    The real pics:

    I read the first post and see that you had originally started this in 2007.

    I guess you must have been busy, very busy, extremely busy. At least you got around to starting it and once it is started does not take long to complete. Always the first step is the hardest.
