A shed amongst the Gum trees

[craigb]

On our recent trip south, we stopped at delightful Pambula.

Of course we couldn't go through town withought saying g'day to one silentC. :)

He and missus silentC made us very welcome and cooked us a very nice meal at chez silentC.

The next day, he took us out to where he's building his new house and showed us his shed. I was very jealous :D

Thanks again for you hospitality Darren. :)

[silentC]

... and it's full of stuff already!!

No worries Craig, was nice to see you both again.

[Wongo]

Bloody hell :eek:

[Pat]

Is that 12mx6m? 72sqm (39.35'x19.68' = 775sq feet). It might do for a little while. . .

(Now where is that little green smiley http://www.ubeaut.biz/thumbup.gif)

[silentC]

It's 16m x 6.1m 97.6 sqm but one bay is going to be closed off for my office, a toilet, and a gym. So effectively it is 12m. When the novelty of the gym wears off, it will be my finishing room.

[oges]

Noice!

Stuff the gym, i think walking up that slope to get to the house will be enough exercise :rolleyes:

[Wood Borer]

Looks like it is far away from the house to make a noise at night without complaints. Great looking shed Silent.

[silentC]

It's not as far away as I would have liked but council said no to my first proposed site because it was too close to a natural waterway - the gully!! Bloody ridiculous if you ask me but they said if it was less than 40m away, special permission to build is required from the State govt. It's still about 20m from the back of the house and the living areas are on the other side, so I should be OK.

Don't worry Brett, I wont be using the gym. It's for my missus and my Dad to use. Part of the sweetener ;)

[Wongo]

When you say your office do yo mean the place you can visit the forum when you are having a break from woodwork? :rolleyes:

[silentC]

Yes, if I was person of lesser moral fibre, it would be a real temptation having all those toys just outside my office. But then I can just duck out and clamp up a panel while my code is compiling, can't I? I'll be back shortly....

[Wood Borer]

Or cut some code while the glue is drying. ;)

[Wongo]

Or cut some code while the glue is drying. ;)

:D


and put a sign on the tablesaw says "Back in 5 minutes" :D

[silentC]

5 minutes? What, do you want me to finish the whole project in one day? I like to drag it out. 1 minutes intervals of work every half hour. :D

[zenwood]

That's not a shed, that's 4 sheds. You've got me well and truly jealous, Silent. Nice outlook too (no windows?).

One of the pics looks like you're installing the dust collection piping already!:)

[silentC]

Windows? Oh you mean those things burglars break in through? ;) I have got a couple of windows but haven't put them in yet.

No dust extraction yet, we're actually using that storm water PVC for the unheard of purpose of carrying storm water :D

[RufflyRustic]

That is one Fine shed!! I'm green with envy!!!

Cheers

[routermaniac]

fantastic shed silentc. Also the surroundings look extremely relaxing with all that green around. :)

Or but an old and very slow computer so that compilations takes a long timehttp://www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com.au/images/icons/icon10.gif

PS

Serious dose of shed jealousy is setting inhttp://www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com.au/images/icons/icon9.gif....

Hi SC, great shed, so the gym is for your father, is that so that he keeps fit enough to go bush and cut up logs to bring back for you? How long before you start on the house, not that it is as important as the workshop.

There were logs too and a whole heap of firewood that silentC senior had cut and stacked. :eek: I should have taken a picture of that too. :o

The house is already started and well under way.

[Sir Stinkalot]

Is it just me or do others see a hint of Al in SC's face ?????

What are you saying? :eek: :eek: :eek:

[Sir Stinkalot]

..... just an observation ..... Hey the Geelong wood show is on tomorrow 10am - 4pm State Office Building (Crn Little Malop and Fenwick Streets). $3.00 entry, :)

[Harry72]

I wont be using the gym. It's for my missus and my Dad to use.
Slacker!

It'd be nice to have a personal gym, would save me a few thou a year in fee's, but it would cost $15K+ to set up for what I need... not to mention another extension to the workshop!
If your building the gym as a separate room later you could use it as a finishing room...

[baltic]

Looks great SC,

Got to have a biggg shed!!
Brings back vivid memory's memory's of our home amongst the gum trees,
Sites cuts,mud, dust. Make sure you get your drainage spot-on!!
Enjoy the experience SC,

Cheers,
Gary.

[dai sensei]

Well on the way to a fine looking shed.

I'll be down you way at Tathra for Xmas, so would love to catch up and see how you are progressing.

Cheers

[jacko]

Hey SilentC, when next you are travlling North stop of at BB for a cuppa at our place. Be glad to make your aquantaince.
Jacko
ps do people still actually compile code these days?? Wow!

[silentC]

Thanks all. Yes, the shed was the most important thing. In fact you could say that the shed came first because needing room for a shed was the reason we put the house on the market in first place.

Barry, as Craig said, the house is under way. It's been going for just over a month, hoping to be finished by January. The old man loves cutting trees up because it gives him an excuse to get out in the bush in the cruiser.

Harry, our gym will probably consist of a bike, a rowing machine and one of those combo machines. Was thinking about making some of it.

Gary, it rained all day yesterday (raining again now), so we have about 2.5 acres of mud up there at the moment. You get half an inch taller with every step. Worked on the drainage on Saturday thankfully and it was all working OK at lunch time yesterday. Last time it rained the shed flooded. Hopefully have that sorted out now.

Neil, PM when you are coming down. I'm up North for the week before Christmas, will be back by New Year, so if you're around then, let me know. Tathra is about 20 minutes away from us.

Jacko, will do. Yes, I still compile my VB and C++ code. Trouble is the PCs are so fast now that it only takes a few seconds. In the old days, you could fit in a cuppa or a leg stretch while you waited :D

[mkemila]

Shed? that thing looks more like a woodworking oasis. I could put about 4 of my shops in there!!


looks great though

[ryanarcher]

Looks like a beautiful place you live my friend, with a great shop to boot. :) nice tee too. ;)

-Ryan

[oges]

nice tee too.
He wore that at the Sydney wood show too I think, might be only shirt he has .. you had better send him some more :D :rolleyes:

[John Saxton]

Silent,great lookin' shed hope you got somewhere to store your timber!

An observation COS you'll probably find space limiting over time..,I have a 20 by 6 metre shed and over time it has almost filled to capacity with timber and tooling to the point where crowding can occur in an attempt to keep good timber dry.

HOPE all goes well with setting up your shop.

cheers :)

[Wild Dingo]

Jonno mate... make your timber feel loved build it its own pergala mate :cool: right alongside that wonderous 20 x 6 shed that you will bring over to my place if you and the missus decide to head east... which mate will do exceptionally well for my DAR timber storage shed!!!... the humpy can then be a log drying area :cool: AND the bonus will be you will know your ol mate the Dingo wont be in need of another shed for... oooohhh a few months at least :D ;)

Gawd Im glad we sorted that out!! ;) No dont thank me ol son just give me a hoi when your ready to bring it over or want me to come get it and we'll get a barbie happening... remember summers coming!! :cool:

Silent mate... good one!! you gotta get some windows in there though... think of the inspiration from that view mate :cool:

[silentC]

I've got plans to build a covered timber rack along one side of the shed. Also incorporating a lean-to for the dusty and the compressor. Probably get around to it in 5 or 10 years :D

I put a window in yesterday. Prick of a job. Trouble is it's obscure glass - in the toilet. Not really inspirational, although I do a bit of thinking in there at times....

[TEEJAY]

Nice big shed there Silent.

When I had my house built I had the shed put in first and yes the drainage needed attention to stop more than the two floods I got.

I have found it now necessary to put an awning along the side as it's great to be outside but under cover on those "great to be alive days" when birds are twittering etc. ;)

Hope you find the time to post plans of your layout or at least some scanned pics of inside. I'd do the same with mine but people would say - how the hell do you get in and out of all that! :eek:

Wish I had a big big shed - oh well. (insert green with envy smilie) :)

Cheers

[John Saxton]

Shane,'Er indoors has put said foot down and decreed that we're aheadin' East...now it might take some time before this occurs said shed will have to partake in biopsy to decide what to take and what to leave when the container arrives for the movin' but sorry to disappoint you 'Ol son but shed must stay intactus delecti ;) for said sale of the 'ol joint :)


SILENT, I have a covered carport attached to the shed which is loaded with timber to such a point I had to lay out some more serious $$$$ for the accommodation of at least 3 vehicles in another carport.JUST a point that timber collection/storage can creep on you moreover if you've a head for a bargain that occassionally presents itself with timber sales/auctions etc.

GOOD LUCK with all your future needs and movements with setting up your new home/workshop.

Cheers :)

[Caliban]

Darren
Nice. Very nice.
How far north you coming just before Christmas? It's about time we caught up again.

[silentC]

G'day Jim, we're going to Coona but unfortunately a bit too far inland to drop in on Kempsey. We might be up your way early next year though, I'll let you know.

Started standing frames for the house yesterday. Shed takes a back seat for a few weeks now...
