A shed amongst the Gum trees

**craigb** · 28th October 2005, 12:31 PM

On our recent trip south, we stopped at delightful Pambula.

Of course we couldn't go through town withought saying g'day to one silentC.

He and missus silentC made us very welcome and cooked us a very nice meal at chez silentC.

The next day, he took us out to where he's building his new house and showed us his shed. I was very jealous

Thanks again for you hospitality Darren.

... and it's full of stuff already!!

No worries Craig, was nice to see you both again.

Bloody hell :eek:

Is that 12mx6m? 72sqm (39.35'x19.68' = 775sq feet). It might do for a little while. . .

(Now where is that little green smiley

It's 16m x 6.1m 97.6 sqm but one bay is going to be closed off for my office, a toilet, and a gym. So effectively it is 12m. When the novelty of the gym wears off, it will be my finishing room.

Noice!

Stuff the gym, i think walking up that slope to get to the house will be enough exercise

Looks like it is far away from the house to make a noise at night without complaints. Great looking shed Silent.

**silentC** · 28th October 2005, 01:41 PM

It's not as far away as I would have liked but council said no to my first proposed site because it was too close to a natural waterway - the gully!! Bloody ridiculous if you ask me but they said if it was less than 40m away, special permission to build is required from the State govt. It's still about 20m from the back of the house and the living areas are on the other side, so I should be OK.

Don't worry Brett, I wont be using the gym. It's for my missus and my Dad to use. Part of the sweetener

When you say your office do yo mean the place you can visit the forum when you are having a break from woodwork?

**silentC** · 28th October 2005, 01:51 PM

Yes, if I was person of lesser moral fibre, it would be a real temptation having all those toys just outside my office. But then I can just duck out and clamp up a panel while my code is compiling, can't I? I'll be back shortly....

Or cut some code while the glue is drying.

and put a sign on the tablesaw says "Back in 5 minutes"

**silentC** · 28th October 2005, 02:53 PM

5 minutes? What, do you want me to finish the whole project in one day? I like to drag it out. 1 minutes intervals of work every half hour.

**zenwood** · 28th October 2005, 02:58 PM

That's not a shed, that's 4 sheds. You've got me well and truly jealous, Silent. Nice outlook too (no windows?).

One of the pics looks like you're installing the dust collection piping already!

**silentC** · 28th October 2005, 03:10 PM

Windows? Oh you mean those things burglars break in through?

I have got a couple of windows but haven't put them in yet.

No dust extraction yet, we're actually using that storm water PVC for the unheard of purpose of carrying storm water
