June 9 not confirmed yet, just waiting to see how it all goes......

Knock on wood

Wendy not being rude or anything me dear... but just HOW LONG did they say it would take to whack up this shed so you can use it?... without going back through 8 pages to find out from your posts how big is this thing?... looking at it from the skeleton it looks to be somewhere around what 9mtrs x 6mtrs? if so thats the same size as the one I have... which took just one day from unpack to walk in and start putting machines in place... just wondering why its taking so long for them to put it up even the one in Mandurah a 6x6 only took a day from start to finish

Im just confused is all... here its the 1 May and its not done yet?? Id be seriously going ballistic about now... but the 9th June?? whassat for? DO NOT tell me thats how long its going to take this mob to erect a simple shed in your backyard!!! or is that to give yourself a month to sort and move in get comfy have the chintz curtains installed the pink carpet etc?

Sorry I just dont get this time thing

They said it would be depend on the person / persons building it.

Let's just say, they weren't wrong about that

Based on what's been happening, knock on wood , shed should be totally cooked .... soooonish...... knock on wood knoc..... For goodness sake, don't make me jinx it any further Shane!!!!


9 June equals when I should have the laundry finished and all my gear into the shed, hopefully electrics done and maybe insulation/wall panelling happening. Gotta have something other than bare walls and a power cord to celebrate

Gotta have something other than bare walls and a power cord to celebrate

When I built the shed at my last house I was happy just to have a roof and doors!!

As they say - "It won't happen overnight but it will happen!"

You payin' extra for installation?

If so, I'd be inclined to ring up the seller, have a good whinge about "complaining neighbours" and demand a refund of the installation fee "as you're obviously going to have to erect it yourself anyway..."

The insulation is being installed in the ceiling.......

The other bit of the rude mumbling in the head is that after talking with the builderman, I found out I could have gotten the whole shed insulated, an awning , concrete for the said awning and a double personal door instead of roller door at the shed front, as I originally wanted and still have been able to get it through council without having to go through the red tape of "that's a liveable dwelling, therefore you now have to meet all of these additional regulations".....

If I ever come across that blasted council worker again, he had better run VERY VERY fast. No good ******* ****** ****** ****** feeding me such utter *************** ******* ******* two years running.

That will also teach me to listen to HWMNeverBO and not follow my gut instincts and go after EXACTLY what I want.

Geez, I need some serious wood time don't I

Ah well, it will all turn out ok in the end

Ohhhhhhhhhhh riiiiiiiiiiiight like that is it? oooh I see... no its okay I got it now Wendy... its okay... your THAT type of sheila so I see now

Gotta have ALL the trimmings BEFORE you can say you have a shed eh?... so mines not a shed? it doesnt have insulation or wall panelling it doesnt have electrics no lights no power switches none of that gumph just nice long extention lead... no window either nor a perspex sheet in the roof...

man in that case Ive never had a shed! I WANT A BLOODY SHED!!!

Okay I may be wrong here ... but Ive got a concrete floor check... Ive got a steel well okay THIN metal type frame work check... Ive got sheets of tin covering it check... Ive got 2 roller doors well okay sorta roller doors that are already stuffed cause these shed mobs use cheep and nasty cheap in their materials but theyre doors of a fashion... All my tools are in there and fairly secure and I can use them albeit with laying out the extention cord so its a sorta shed?? perhaps?? maybe? kinda?

MAN Wendy get it together girl!! ARC UP THE FEMININE TEMPER!! Have a flamin wang dang doodle of a hissy fit!!! but get them mobile on getting it UP and done!! Dont sit there going oooh dear come on chaps get a move on please go bloody KNUTS at them!! Embarrass the hell out of them cajole them with your feminine wiles make them feel theyre letting YOU down no bloke likes to feel that.. Stop offering them coffee an cakes!! give em nothing and get them to bloody work!! shyte June 9th? thats crap girl gerrupem!

Complain to the workers in your most upset ways complain to the boss in anyway you can think of to melt him then complain like buggary to the dopey mongrel that suggested you use the gits! geez I cant believe this!

You know we think the world of you but come on Wendy shove a burning pineapple up their dates!!

Sorry but thats just plain wrong Wendy... not taking you to task but rather their unbelievable laziness and slap happy method of putting up a shed! ITS A SHED!! Not a bloody house! damn this makes me wild

Thanks Shane, I needed that.

No, I'm not going to throw another hissy fit - takes too much energy

Builderman might be slow and don't forget he's working by himself, but his work is pristine, in other words, my shed is being built right, first time, and it's a strong, weatherproof one. So, patience is good here. Besides, in all reality, what's another week considering I've waited 5 years for it and I'm sure others have waited longer.

That type of Sheila???? Geez Shane....

Coffee and cakes?? You gotta be kidding. Sure, I can make a coffee, but make your own damm cake

The walls and insulation on the ceiling went up yesterday - fantastically neat job . The main iron on the roof is probably all done by now. Then there's capping, doors, windows, guttering and making sure I get the keys before HWMNBO does

cheers

Thats fine, if he gets the keys to yours then just take the keys for his.

G'day Wendy

I think most people have to go through some sort of crap before the dream shed can become reality. I know I certainly did....

Dodgy shed salesman, I wont go into why he was dodgy lets just say, he mysteriously was not working there any longer a month after I ordered my shed,

Shed delivery delayed by months and months even after phones calls every day,.

When shed does turn up the delivery truck takes out the over head power lines to the house.

Kit turns up incomplete, causing more delays


It must be like a divinely enforced right of passage that you must endure before you can settle in and truly enjoy a new shed. But 4 years down the track when I'm in that shed, that is now 99% how I pictured it all those years ago, makes all the agro soooooooo worth it

cheers
BD

thanks BD. Nice to know this is all par for the course


WB - He knows to expect major trouble if I find ANY vehicle in my shed
