"nearly finished"

All the gyprock is up, had a sparky in to give me some more power points & a light. Wasn't too expensive either.

Now I just need to make the place all pretty (plaster & paint).

Thanks, it's been enjoyable & frustrating.
Used my clamps in spreader mode to lift the boards on some spare lengths of pine.
The smaller bits ended up being harder to install than the full sheets....

I've been chipping away at it most days.
Slowed down over the holiday period, but I've passed the half way mark & definitely got the hardest part (plastering the ceiling) out of the way.
I can't...

Seemed that the thing to do was to pull the wall down and staple some damp course to the base plate.
My father in law had some concrete paint, that wasn't going to be used, so I painted where the...

The heavy rain has left the slab with a few damp spots. No doubt I failed to seal the cracks in the floor.
This is a bit of a nuisance.

Any ideas?

I took Friday off work to install the ceiling insulation as Saturday was set to be a stinker & would be horrible to work in.
Even with the batts only loosely placed in the ceiling & not in the...

I've achieved a bit more than the photos show, extra wall studs & ceiling beams (for the plasterboard).
The sarking took about an hour to install and works really well. I've not decided whether the...

I decided to go ahead with digging out the rot and raising a concrete wall on the north and west.

The last few weeks saw the shed under siege.
Every spare space was taken up with doors from the kitchen cupboards, which were being painted.
The good news is, the kitchen doesn't need replacing for...

Yikes, full sunlight all day?!
I'd melt.

Do you find 3x3 enough space to work in?
I'm trying to decide how to divide the shed between workshop and music room.

3 x 5.6 for the workshop.
2.6 x...

I poked about a whole lot more, with my $2 shop chisel.
There's only one point of concern, but it looks easily remedied.
The structure will probably stand for at least another 15 years if I left it...

Thanks John,

I'll do some digging over the weekend & report what I find.

Thanks for that, seems like I was going down the right path.
I was planning on fixing the original timber and then building on the slab itself as well.

I've added a few photos showing the worst...

Hi,

I've lurked for a few years, usually finding helpful/relevant posts.
Now I need to ask a few questions.

A few months ago, I upgraded my work area, from a 1.2m square spot between a fire...
