That will happen soon enough, Cliff. And Studs, there is a phone there. Doughboy are you offering to fill it with more machinery ? I'm open to any gifts coming my way.

Now you mob. I've shown you mine, how about you show me yours!!!!!!!

Now we know every man must have a shed if only to get away from the SWMBO.

As a SWMBO be careful for what you wish for - I had my shed 12m x 6m - looking just tickety boo a while back, felt real proud- and then a tuart fell down. It broke off at ground level 30m away from the shed:eek: , the canopy hitting the shed and wiped it out. Also in the shed was all my hay and horse gear - the canopy actually landed on hay 5 bales high and still cracked the cement slab so much it had to be ripped up and replaced. The shed hasn't been that neat and tidy again - pride coming before a fall and all that!!

The girth of the trunk - 5m!

Fortunately it missed the house by centimeters!

JD in the interests of getting cheap and great timber to your fellow woodies (well actually getting your back yard cleaned up for free) you should have a meet and greet to zip up that Tuart and let people take home the bits!

5m girth makes about 1.5 diameter there would be some good boards in that

Geeze I've got nothing to complain about with this little one then.

The shed saved the house.

Sorry, a tuart is a very large WA tree, restricted to a small corner of the SW. AKA Widow Maker as it drop limbs for no apparent reason.

Attachment 29741

You would be surprised how hard it was to give the wood away - as we could not deal with that amount and no one was interested in coming in with a portable mill we rolled it into the bush and kept trying (as it prevented us getting to the house without circum-navigating the tree) - it had to go. Each segment that was cut equated to a truck load to take it away. About 6 month later I finally got someone to come and take it - went to a fine furniture maker. Tuart is a golden yellow, VERY hard wood.

Struth JD, that thing makes my silky oak look lousy.

Pity you are so far away, I could swap you some.

BTW. My shed is not fixed. Sid, I'll get some photos for you tomorrow.

Dust on the inside of the window & green slime on the outside.

Tuart is a mongrel wood... period

It grows mainly from Mandurah south with many being ripped out for development.
When we had the place in Mandurah we managed to have all the Tuarts remain on the block and built alongside them and in front

Then when it was decided that I could finally have a shed bigger than a thunderbox they came down to make room for the shed

So after much ado I managed to get a bloke from Keysbrook to come and mill them up... after sticking and stacking they sat to dry for a couple of years

Then we moved... now not being one to leave timber behind it was decided I needed an extra truck to move the timber Id gathered to me... then after checking the state of the said Tuart it was decided a large trailer would do... its one of the most shaky splitting cracking timbers Ive ever found

It does make great furniture... if you manage to get it before it goes to shyte that is

(Coffee table... edge to edge Tuart top hand turned Jarrah legs and Sheoak rails)

I have 6 planks left bark to bark and 3mtrs in length... Im damned if I know what theyre good for but will probably make some outdoor tables with it... as recently I grabbed a chunk of 3 x 3 and turned it (practice practice practice you know

) and although the peice started beautifully smooth and defect free... the inside had a great shake and seemed to have a knot and split in the middle of the peice the peice was only 2ft long and appeared okay until Id got it cylindrical and started to shape it.

oooh the shed?... no worries!

Can anyone tell me why its termed Dingos Cave?

You may have to wait for the brillaint upcoming movie titled something like "Dingos Cave" for some better footage... its changed a fair bit

Oh... and while Im at it anyone remember that humpyhoochy Ive been raving on about... no not quite braggin... anyway what with the floods and storms of the past year its gone from this...

to this...

and now the previous owner is demanding it!! :eek: :mad: 15 friggin months after we bought the place he reckons and I quote "I paid for it its mine Im takin it!" yep even gone so far now as to get a lawyer who has sent me a wonderful demanding letter telling me how this dipstick will remove it from "his previous property" AHEM!! Oy dipstick its OUR property!! :mad:

Ahem... sorry mate I think I will stop about here

for any more pics the movie will be done and sent to Stuart shortly for forumites enjoyment!

Stunned any lawyer would write that letter Dingo.

He bought the house property so on too but he sold it. Regardless of if it is on the deed of sale on leaving it behind for 15 months he has behaved as if it is yours.

MMMM more arguements with his claim. I imagine there is a clause there for fixtures and fittings bit of a grab bag to cover all the stuff that wasn't written down on the transfer document. Covers a shed pretty well.

Send Boban a message, couple of other legal eagles around here might be able to point you the right way.

The pity is regardless of what is right and wrong he has made a legal claim and you will have to make a legal rebuttal. If you choose not to fight it through the legal system, the system believes you are accepting the other parties claim to be correct.

Sucks I know but would be a good time to see a lawyer.
