Not Exactly the Shed

[artme]

...But related I suppose.

I have an area 6mX3m under the deck and with plenty of headroom. I decided to out a floor here so SWMBO could do her Pottery/ceramics and we could also place the pool table there as well.

I already have a couple of square metres of good quality tongue and groove so I thought a timber floor would be the go. I've worked out the cost of bearers,joists - all second hand - and extra sheeting @ $512. Then there is the cost of screws and the paid labour to help sort the thing out.

All up probably somewhere around $900.

2 cubic meters of concrete is $430. I t will cost about $350 for the concretor and there is the reo. All up about the same as the timber and a lot less effort!!

The concrete will cause less problems water wise so guess what I will eventually do.

Concrete for the sub floor, then timber for the floor - for comfort.

I love spending other people's money

Boxing?

Boxing will be provided by the concretador who lives 2 doors down.

that would explain the cheap quote, including boxing

I know I would not have done it that cheap, mates rates excepted.

For that price I hope there's a steak sandwich and a few cold cans of amber thinking fluid included as well.
