Thread: About to Join Shed Brigade

Don't forget to use or at least investigate the [I think it's called] vermin exclusion strips which are in the shape of a "Z" but with a vertical riser - these go on the floor and out under the tin wall - stops most things crawling up the corrugations and stops grass growing up inside your shed. Unfortunately they charge like a bull for this stuff but it works well and [to me] was worth the extra $.

Thanks Bob. I'll investigate that. There's no rush on putting up the shed though. They didn't even deliver it here. They knew something!

Do you have a slab yet?

so where did they deliver it? It wasn't here

Inspection approved today. Shed man keen to drop concrete. maybe tomorrow or weekend.

Graham

Slab laid weekend before last.
Day 1 of framing done today.
Finish tomorrow maybe.
Photos soon.

Graham

Always takes longer than you think, doesn't it?

Look forward to the pics - have to show it off!

Some of the stories will be interesting too.

eg: Air temp approx 28 degrees C, length of concrete pump hose 50metres- how long does it take for the concrete to set in the pipe if the next load does not come?
And how do you clear it?
And when it does clear where does all the semi-set concrete go? And who cleans it up?

Oh boy! That really has me puzzled!

Hopefully the concretor sorted it out. I'm looking for someone to pour a 6x6m carport slab soon.... Hopefully I dont get those problems!

Good luck with the rest of it!

Shed up.
Photos tomorrow.
Happy with looks- if you like grey (ironstone).

Graham

Shed beginnings with photos.
The slab 130mm thick with a dropdown edge on the bottom side.
For those who came in late: shed is 4m X 9m X 3m high.

Can you see the amount of rain we had?

More photos following,

Graham

Here is the 'finished' shed.
I'll put in a separate note about the hiccups along the way.
The last photo gives an idea of the cut needed to fit the slab.

Graham

Nice Graham!

You'll be loving all of that space. Nice outlook from the shed too.

No for the good bit - setting it up. Then moving stuff around. Then setting it up again. Then moving stuff around......

I love the extra height too, I only wish mine had that.

Nathan.
