Thread: Jonesy's Shed Build

Well that's set a new standard for Rocky.

Started to build a garden shed with left over material including resizing a pair of casement windows.

It’s only small but will get some stuff out of the big shed.

I think you have more anchor bolts in that slab than I do for my entire house. Plastic pipe for power?

Pete

Yeah I got abit carried away and just put one next to every stud [emoji2957]. Also going to put a tie down rod in each corner just to be sure.

Yep the conduit is for power, I am slowly converting to electric garden/lawn tools so will be nice to leave the batteries on charge in there with them. A light probably wouldn’t hurt either.

Have pulled the chair out and sitting back to watch this one.

Ross

Hopefully this one progresses a little faster than the last one Ross. I at least have half an idea of what I’m doing now.

Got the frame on the slab thisarv.




Also here’s some windows I prepared earlier. They are the same as the big shed just cut down to one pane high. I have them in the house so the linseed putty doesn’t dry to fast and wrinkle/crack.

Ok bit more progress. Cyclone rods in each corner and some strap bracing.

Should get a fair bit done on the weekend. The roofing showed up yesterday as well as some window and door jambs from the joinery.





Made one window frame last night.



Cheers

Very nice.

Weather boards are slowly going up, will need to get more cut to finish. Couldn’t finish the roof as I ordered the ridge capping the wrong length [emoji30].

Well that’s as far is the left over cladding went. Will order another 80m today. Window frames are in as well.




In all my wisdom, I ordered the ridge capping 100mm too short so was unable to finish the roof...

How thick was your concrete slab?

The slab is 100mm, there is some fall on the ground so it gets thicker on towards the front right corner which you can see in the photo.

Don’t suppose you were happy with the 9mm of rain today Alex.

Well that’s news to me Ross! I left for Moura this morning. It looked a little cloudy but I didn’t think much of it [emoji21]. Will see what it’s done tomorrow when I get home.
