Thanks.

The sanding guy was horrified that I have already scratched it (I was using it as a cutting floor for the Permastop) But I may have to damage it again - otherwise it may be hard to really use it for what it is for. I actually caught the sparky wiping his feet today ... he never did that in the house!!

BTW love your signature line ... but you do realise that it is the Flying Spaghetti Monster ... holding us all down with his noodley appendages?? Gravity is just a theory after all ...

I think you are missing something and if you will permit me I will enlighten you.

It is called respect for the Shed.

Now that is a lovely floor in a lovely shed.
If you haven't already organised for it to be done, then I would like to suggest that you install over your gutters a leaf guard system.
This will keep your gutters clean and will reduce the fire risk in summer.
Also you will be relieved of the absolutely rotten job of gutter cleaning.
Your roof will likely need plenty of attention as well, if only to keep your skylights clear.
We live in similar surroundings as you and the pitch on our roof is a little higher than yours. It is a constant chore to keep the roof clear. The installed gutter protection has been money very well spent for us.
I am really looking forward to seeing your shed finished. Great job by the way and thanks for sharing.

You may have something there Christos. Someone should teach him 'respect for the house' ... not to mention 'how to use a phone' (to tell you, when he said tomorrow ... he meant tomorrow week!

What is it about sparkys? (probably should be careful. there are doubtless a few here ) The same guy had to come back to fix a few issues with the downlights in the house (he had forgotten to install the guards) - no problem he says, so up he goes, on the new kitchen benchtop ... with his boots on!! I go away for a while ... I come back, there was a bowl of fruit in the kitchen ... it ... and the fruit are now covered in plaster dust!!

Thanks SG, I will consider leaf guards, but at the moment there are no gutters (waiting for the external cladding) ... I am trying to get the internal cladding finished so the sparky can come back and power her up as I'm expecting some new toys on Tuesday!

looking good there, its more like a ballroom, great set up as well!!! green smile for you!

cheers Harrison

I can only say that I have an extreme case of "shed envy"

It's a crippling condition and I think I need a bex and a lie down

Getting there;



Cladding done.




Yellow box board walk to side access door. Gutter on.


Just a whole lot of painting (not exactly my favourite job) and finish lining the inside and she's just about ready to rumble!

Looks like it's coming along well.
I have little to no construction experience, however on your foundations the supports seem very thin to support the structure. Should I be concerned?

Only if you're visiting

Well I'm not and the engineer isn't so there is no reason for you to be! It is as solid as a rock, in fact probably more solid than the house (which has bigger box section supports). I think I may have said before, the Mega Anchor system is fantastic - I'd use it again in a flash (and no I'm not on the payroll!)

3 of them. One more coming across the Straight tomorrow ... ish and the last (for now at least) is on the slow boat from China ... or maybe Taiwan.

Well after going in the shed again today all I can say is it is looking better and better each time, better than a lot of houses I have been in and that yellow box walk way is the bees knees excellent for decking and will last for ever.
Got any Jarrah pen blanks Malcolm.

I'm with Boz on this one engineer concerned or not. I'd not be moving machines along the flimsy pathway, or is the end of the building where machines will be gaining access
That begs the question how?

As for the floorboards having seen even hardwood pallets and trucks and trailers with wood flooring, new at that, break under strain of load pressure and they have closer bearers than that flooring.

In all its a magnificent shed will keep coming back to see the progress.

My God, You guys worry about nothing the foundations and the pathway are not flimsy and the wood work machines are already in place no wonder some people never get anything done. Tasmanian wood is hardwood not crapwood.
Cheers, Bob
