Looks great. Can I ask what you've sealed the floor with. The finish looks really good. As shown in my thread I used Rustoleum Rock Solid which has come our pretty good for DIY. Mine has a bit of...

Sparky did first fit today. I went for 2 double power points on 3 walls and 3 on my main wall plus a 15 amp pp. I also went for 2 external power points, a sensor light, and two external lights. As...

Good to hear that someone else is probably getting laughed at like me. When friends come around and seem my empty shed and a garage stuffed with way too much stuff they can't believe it. I think part...

I was was worried that once it started filling it up with stuff it would be too hard to empty it to do a proper job. At least that's what I've heard happens. I'll bet there's a few of you out there...

I'm about to start lining the shed. As said, the sparky is here on Tuesday so I need to finalise some electrical/lighting issues. I'm thinking of installing led downlights instead of using the 8...

I'm back! For various reasons I lost motivation with the shed...COVID happened and a bunch of other stuff. I'm going for the worlds longest shed build and fit out...can anyone beat me?

Since it...

And the shed construction is finished. Now the real work begins....next job is to get some 20mm FCR and make a pad for the rainwater tank. It'll slot in at the back of the shed. I'm hoping the PA...

Movement at the station! Not bad for a day's work...not my own of course, three blokes arrived at 7am (damn those builders start early). This was their progress by about 3.30 pm. I'm guessing they'll...

Ok. Some movement at last. I finally had the trench inspected a couple of weeks back. I then decide to manually fill the trench in. What else are you gonna do during lock down? Filling in nearly 40...

To be honest, my strategy is to leave early if fire conditions are rated catastrophic. I won't be using the tank to try and protect my property myself. I just hope that the firies will have a go at...

Well not quite a closed trench but nearly. Pipes now installed for stormwater and mains water. Next stage is for council to inspect the install (if needed - the plumber wasn't sure if they would...

A little bit of progress has been made. I finally put in the comms conduit with 2 lengths of cat 6, then back filled with 7mm aggregate to 300mm and added warning tape. Next job is to get the plumber...

Hi Graeme,

Thanks for the input! Yeah the prices for ply were a bit more than i expected. The price i quoted was from Uptons...he said i'll get a small discount for buying more than a few sheets...

Not sure I'm a serious enough woodworker to justify dust extraction. I have seen some amazing dust extraction set ups on here.

Battens: I just checked and my girts are at 1275 on the side walls so maybe i should go same solution as you and use steel battens. Thanks.

Lighting: Ok..maybe I need a bit more.

Shelving:...

Thanks for the feedback. So my thinking has evolved as I've received feedback and browsed other shed threads. Here's where i'm up to:

Lining: 12mm ply. Still deciding whether to butt joint or...

I'm interested in this as per my current Tassie 6x5 Shed build thread. I'm still keen on using 12mm ply for lining my walls and roof. I'm having the following insulation installed as part of my...

The trench is definitely 600mm deep. It's only where it pops out near the meter box that it looks shallow. The cable will be near as dammit 500mm deep right to the box, under aggregate and warning...

Thanks for the info. I think running a spare conduit is a good idea. Why do you suggest 4 ethernet cables? I was thinking of just running a terminated cat 6 cable such as this 100ft Cat6 Outdoor...

Sounds dangerous. I'll stick to beer for now. I do all grain brewing. It's a great hobby. Can make great quality craft brew for less than a dollar a pint.

OK...next exciting instalment. Well the conduit was laid today while i was at work. It's only been run in the trench as yet and not connected. I think the cable looks thick enough. Sparky said he'll...

Thanks. I've been a member for a while but a lurker till now. While I'm not a hardcore woodworker, though i did enjoy studying it right through my high school years, I'm a keen home handyman,...

Hi all,

This is to document my shed build here in Tassie. I'll describe the build as it goes and put forward my ideas for fit out. Any comments most welcome. Yes, it's only 6m x5m!! I already have...
