The Bunyas are a favourite spot of mine. I have even planted two in the back yard. It'll be a while before they are the size of your trees and I have my work cut out making the hills . I too use a container for part of the shed, but mainly for storage of tools, consumeables and timber.

You have done a wonderful job. What is your power supply? Are you on the grid? I'm thinking that's probably a "no."

Yes .... I am on the grid. Single phase. It was a huge job, 300. Metres underground down one side of a ravine and up the other. Cablel size was 4 x 90sqmm aluminum to cover voltage drop. The little trenching traxcavator had to use its claw to lower itself by gripping the ironbarks as it descended and climbed the other side.

But it got there. We backfilled by hand shovelling, too hard to take the little traxcavator back .. Haa.

it cost 8.6k for the underground ... But now so glad its done ... Underground also to the shed and RCD (earth leakage) so life is so much easier

thanx for kind words. The unforseen benefit of such a small place is that it is amazingly easy to work in .. You can just reach out for any tool and its right there. But it has to be cleaned after every job an every tool replaced.

but this has become routine and part of the natural order and is no longer a chore.

I am thinking of selling the lathe and buying a slightly bigger plus a small miller ... So the shed will evolve further. Plus I have to buy a jug, coffee, and rum and sugar ... Probably won't even go back to the shack after that ... Haa

Just saw this thread. I can see there is a lot of effort gone into your setup. Great pics thanks for posting

Love it!

The perfect spot to set up the treadle lathe and spend a lazy day...
