Holy carp, she's fairly over-engineered!

Looking good and so is the first load of timber in pic 2 & 3

I like the idea of building a big shed then having the rest of your life to fill it with all and sundry to enjoy as the years pass.

Mine is 20x6 and I wish I had built a bigger shed.

Well done ...enjoy

Cheers

Thanks lads, " over engineered "…. Maybe, the footing were bigger than expected = more expense. The first load of timber into the shed will be the floor boards under the black plastic, total timbered floor / veranda area will be 9 mtrs x 10 mtrs! The other piles are waiting on a timber mill ( on my wish list )! John if only my shed would end up like those mike and frank pick through
On American pickers…..

Faintly envious, Jason. Thanks for all the pix.
I've got about 4m x 4m downstairs but I still can't wrangle sheets of ply, etc.
What do your neighbors think of it? Do your neighbors think?
Many of mine don't make the effort.

If they can see it and are somewhat unaware of your plans,
perhaps you could erect a sign which designates the building
as the Customs shed for newly arrived, off-planet aliens who need
to write their qualifying examination for political office.
I'm sure that Sigourney Weaver can scrape up a darling old lady.

Rob, don’t speak to loudly, the government and the red head that runs this country, are still looking for places to process asylum seekers. My neighbours don’t need to think about what I'm up too. The closest one is about 2 ks away, I could have a 1 man rock concert and they still wouldn't hear me.

[Robson Valley]

OK, I'll never offer anything to the Feds.

I'm having a hard time trying to imagine having enough space to turn around with a 5m stick and not be concerned about wrecking anything or punching out light fixtures. If I twist my island (saw) bench just right, I can feed such timber into my shop from the hallway with the far end in the downstairs kitchen!

A few more progress shots from this morning, just some capping and install of the skylights, then the roofers job is done. Thumbs up to the lads who kept a clean site and done a great job, very happy. I got a start on the sub floor, cutting the concrete piers to size was a mission, they came out of my step daughters place they are knocking down, and some of them had chucks of coal in it. Hit them with a 9" grinder and you cant see your self for dust! We are having course sand delivered during the week for the floor of the shed, not used it before but some concrete mixed in and the waka packa, I should have a solid floor.

coming along well

geez I'm jealous of the space!

Looking very nice now.

Hi , progress over the week end , the floor joists were moved , and screwed into place ( almost 500 screws). The roller door was raised while the brackets welded in place, the rain bucketed down and flooded most of the floor area. Still need some earth works to stop this happening, mostly ground water. Cheers Jason

[jasons673]

Hi , this is the progress over the last weeks, photos from this morning, the rain is hanging around slowing the things down. But we have laid 4 mts of floor so far only 5 mtrs to go!
SWMBO has done a great job painting the panels , to match the house colours. Also our bob cat driver has a new toy to play with!

I'm looking forward to the traditional forum shed warming and BBQ.
