Hi Ernie.

Welcome to your shed.

Congratulations on getting your shed up and running.

Sounds as if you have great community support, which is what sheds need.

Look to join your State Body and the National body, AMSA.

Paul.

:UWe are already members of both associations and members attend cluster meetings and also speak at them. We are hosting the next one at our shed although I am not sure how we will fit everyone in as there were over 30 at the last one. We found a major problem on Monday,the mezzanine floor was only resting on the wall support which is not supposed to be load bearing and was sagging due to the weight of all the timber we had stored up there,so made a begging visit to the truss and stud wall builder across the road and lo and behold he came over saw the problem and pomised to deliver a stud wall on Monday !!!! and if there was anything else he could help us with to let him know.
