The Shed.
Hi Jock2000,
What happened to where you were. Thought that was a great place. Been there about 2 yrs ago
We are in the same boat, as we are on the shift as well. We will have to wait awhile as they are still building this place of which we will have to share.

Maybe you were thinking about Mens in Sheds we are Menshed and the building will be built at the Long Gully reserve at a cost of approx $300,000. The tenders have been accepted and the building should start soon.
As well as the shed the Bendigo Model Engineers who will share the shed are working with the local council to build 1.5 Km of model engine railway track

Hi
This week we participated at a Men's Health week function, along with Bendigo Society of Model Engineers.
It was a successful night with many men very interested in our display.

Things are starting to happen with the shed. Bulldozers levelled the site on Monday and yesterday when I went past they were constructing the roof on the ground.
Didn't take any photos because the camera batteries have had it, will take some today.
On the way to our fund raising sausage sizzle at the Eaglehawk IGA.

Brought some new batteries for camera, so these are some of the shot of the shed and amenities block. Notice they are building the roof on the ground and will lift it using cranes.
The proposed 1.5 km miniature railway will go to the right of the shed,
This show the location of the amenities block to the shed.

Raising the roof
Visited the site yesterday and they were adding the roofing iron with the roof on the ground. Thought I'd slip over today and watch them raise the roof but I missed the action, so here are todays photos one week and one day into the build.
You can get some idea of the size by the guy sitting down eating his lunch on LH side.

G'Day "Jock2000",
What a top facility for the blokes to get together and make things, as "issatree" said; you luck buggers getting such a big shed to play in.
They certainly didn't muck around getting it up either.
Enjoy setting it up.
Cheers, Crowie

Happy new year from the guys in Bendigo, we are thinking of the rest of you all over Australia who are doing it tough this year, whether it be floods in Queensland, fire in South Australia, heat in Western Australia and even snow down there in Tassie.
