New house, so new shed
Having escaped from Sydney we purchased a new house near Laurieton in the NSW mid north coast. This occurred last December, so as soon as the silly season was over a Ranbuild 6 x 7 shed with a 2m awning was ordered. Assembly finished today.
The first two photographs show the land being prepared for the slab. A terrace already existed but had to be widened with a new retaining wall constructed.
The next two images are of the form work for the slab and the slab being finished. As soon as it was poured I realised that the shed should have been 6 x 9. But then again, I am sure that if it was I would want a 6 x 11.
Following these images are day 1 and day 2 of the construction.
The final three images are of the "finished"shed. the plumber should arrive tomorrow to connect the guttering to the water tank and the overflow into the storm water.
All going well the foil board insulation should be delivered tomorrow. This is to line all walls. The roof insulation was installed during construction. My intention is the line the shed with 19mm yellow tongue. I am also waiting for quotes for the electrical.
I will post more images as work progresses.Bob

If he gets it without working for it; he's a parasite; and if he accumulates it after a life time of hard work, people call him a fool who never got anything out of life."

Looking good Bob
Argh yes the old prob of yeah it's just not big enough
Got two sheds now and it's still not enough, will be erecting a third shed soon, which I'm picking up from my Uncle's farm in exchange for milling some new rails for the cattleyard. It'll be an open shed but it'll be good as it will cover a lot off stuff that I can get out of the other sheds to create more roomCheers

Knowing Laurieton a little, that's a real change. But if it gets a big shed where the nose doesn't matter. 2 x

Love the woodport out the front of the shed. I always wanted one but the council man misled me but that's another story. Go the wall insulation and lining! I reckon you will never regret that

Hi Wendy. If you look at the fifth photo, up against the fence is the wood rack. Still to be finished. the spare colorbond sheets will be used for a top cover, the ends will have shade cloth, and the front and back will be protected by the fence and shed wall. Just before use, the timber will be moved into the shop racks.

Finished installing the insulation on the walls today. Can't do anything else until the final is given on the shed. This is being held up by the plumber who has to connect the water tank to the stormwater drain. After that, get the electrical wiring run before cladding over the insulation.

Looks good
And yes I am so jealous, soooo much room
I was wondering whether it is worth running the 4" pipe for the dusty between the shed wall and the lining?regards

Nick, there would not be enough room to run 4" pipe behind the wall cladding.
I will post some pics tomorrow showing the current progress. The electricians finished yesterday. Now have 10 double power points around the walls, one hanging power point over where the main workbench will be. There is also another roof mounted power point for the dust filter. Had two external power points fitted - one at each end. All of this runs off of a subpanel.
The interior lighting consists of three rows of three dual fluros; each row being independantly switched. There is also a light under the awning.
I have started to cover the wall insulation with yellow tongue. Should finish this in the next couple of days. Would be quicker but have my 10 year old Grandson here for the week. I plan to paint the walls with an off white semigloss to ensure better reflected light.Bob

Here are a couple of photos taken at night with the new lights only. I find that with the construction work taking place at the moment I don't need all lights on at the same time. I have almost finished fixing the yellow tongue to the walls. As soon as this is done I will start painting, then the rest of the "toys"can come in from the garage. I will post more photos as things progress.
