Had win on weekend

[specialist]

I have to tell someone, I just aquired a new (secondhand shed).

The guy that used to own the block of land next to where I work sold the block and was going to take the shed away. He lives about an hour away, but after a month of cleaning all his puss out, I offered him cash for the shed for removal. He accepted the offer of $1500 for a 40' x 20' steel framed shed. I couldn't believe it.

The new shed has the same foot print as my old one, so it will be just a replacement job, and is 10' longer.

Anyway, less of my prattle and to the pics.:doh:

first one is my existing
and the rest are the new one, still in situ

[Skew ChiDAMN!!]

$1500? :2tsup:

[Calm]

Great steal:2tsup:

It seems all good sheds have a plastic outdoor table with them.:2tsup::D

No, that's just a shipping container that you can see through the open canopy of the tractor parked there.

sorry

Just an update, I've finally gotten around to pulling down the new shed to transport it home, What a job. Over the few weeks that I had off over Christmas, I was able to clean up the part of the yard that it will go, remove a tree, relocate a vege garden and do a miriad of other things in between the rain that fell almost all the time.

anways here's some pic's.

The shed looks great-nice and high in the apex so plenty of room for the heat to rise to. Keep us updated. Looking forward to the fit-out photos!

Well after much time spent procrastinating and other things the shed has finally started to go up. Stage 1 was the slab for the extra 10' of length.

That being done, some time went by due to different fitness factors from a accident that seriously broke my leg not long before I aquired the shed, however all is in progress now.

All my stuff has been packed up to allow for the wall the be removed and now that this part of the shed is in place, I will have to start fitting it out, making sure that it is how I want it so all the gear doesn't have to be moved again. This will take a number of weeks, so stay tuned for the next installment.

I read the first post and see that you had originally started this in 2007. :o

I guess you must have been busy, very busy, extremely busy. At least you got around to starting it and once it is started does not take long to complete. Always the first step is the hardest.

Always enjoy to see how others do things.

Great work Specialist I admire your determination working on re-installing the old corragated iron keep it up and it will look good when done

What is the shed up to now, has it taken over the space of the old one yet.

I noticed that your in Longreach, do you know the Hearn family, Brad & Lindy.

Hi all,

I'm back again, it's been a busy time this last few weeks since I last posted, but the end is in sight.


Great work Specialist I admire your determination working on re-installing the old corragated iron keep it up and it will look good when done Not so much a determination to keep the old iron, most of it was good, just that front wall is not so good, I have access to some mist green colourbond that will replace it in the future some time


What is the shed up to now, has it taken over the space of the old one yet. All the green shed is the original, the grey section is extra.


do you know the Hearn family, Brad & Lindy. Afraid not.


I guess you must have been busy, very busy, extremely busy. At least you got around to starting it and once it is started does not take long to complete. Always the first step is the hardest.
Yes you are right, it is hard to start. I knew the amount of work that was involved and because it took so long for me to recover from the accident sufficient to do the job, I chose to put it off.


trailer full of usefull wood for many woodworking projects you now have more space for. http://cdn.woodworkforums.com/http://cdn.woodworkforums.com/http://cdn.woodworkforums.com/images/smilies/happy/biggrin.gifAlas it all wen to the dump as it was covered with some sort of cutter eating coating and the finest dust/grinding powder that you have ever seen.:o

The shed basically went up in three stages to allow me to keep all my machines and gear under cover as best I could, as you can see the pic 6 shows that the end of the shed wasn't cemented and this had to be done before it could be finished so a dummy wall was erected until it was, All that remains is the iron over the large end doors and some flashing that I will make this coming weekend.


Thanks for looking.

Robert
