Uncle Posted 22March, 2019 Author Report Share Posted 22March, 2019 I'm about to start on a new one. Just have to do some minor earthworks first. firstone 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Posted 23March, 2019 Author Report Share Posted 23March, 2019 First I had to remove some trees that over hung the house. Started digging today.. Bit more digging. The old “Sun room” is going very soon. Little more digging.. Next week I’ll cut the footings in for the 500x500x1mtr sandstone blocks we will build the retaining wall out of.

Uncle Posted 23March, 2019 Author Report Share Posted 23March, 2019 Oh and I’ve also be chipping away at a cubby house for my young fella. Should be big enough so that as he gets older it keeps getting used. Not a bad place for a beer on a Sunday afternoon either. Here is the cubby in its flat pack state... Myself and next-door neighbour putting the flat pack together. Flat pack panels ready to go up into the paddock. Oh yeah, we also built a bit of a deck for the cubby to go on. That took some time to do too. An hour or two latter... It was pretty quick to go up but I ran out of time to work on it for quite a while. These two like to hang out in the top of that dead tree next to the deck. These two rare Bogan mullet sheep also like to float around doing bogan stuff. Sealed up for the time being. Good enough for us to camp in overnight. Great dad and son time. Fast forward a few months and I finally found the time to get the steel on. The other two sides my wife is doing in cedar. $$$ but it looks great. Tips, StevepGT3, Niko and 7 others 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Posted 15May, 2019 Author Report Share Posted 15May, 2019 Bit of an update. Footings in. Working out the bend needed to get a car trailer around and up the back easy. Some blocks down. Young bloke is pretty happy about it. Bend worked out. Fill in along with power, data and water for the shed build once the bank account recovers. Even at mates rates and working on it myself it wasn’t a small job or cheap (~25k). The “sun room” off the back of the house will go in the next few weeks.

Yeah its quite a bit bigger than it looks. IE The wall alone is 48mtrs long. From the front gate to my back fence is around 100mtrs and the block is a little over 8,000sq mtrs.

Spectre Posted 21February, 2020 Report Share Posted 21February, 2020 Question Just had a colourbond shed erected on a slab The shed has steelposts and then horizontal top hats between the posts and colourbond attached to the exterior So can I line the interior walls of the shed with ply sheet or yellow tongue flooring and attach directly to the horizontal top hats?

Would expect so. Thats what I did, lined my workshop with "Strandboard", much cheaper (and lighter) than plywood, but I used particle board for the area I wanted to hang cupboards on.

edgy Posted 21October, 2020 Report Share Posted 21October, 2020 Bumping this... it is going to be my summer project perhaps, but after getting everything else taken care of, time to build 'my space' Has anyone combined living space with the car space? My garage is on the lower level of my house and I'd love to combine these kind of elements into the space For me, it would be amazing to be able to have guests over, sit down and enjoy the view (car) and browse the wine collection at the same time, why not enjoy a pour and admire the exterior view that everyone else enjoys as you drive it! 😜 Basic concept is to be able to use the 2 car spaces as just that if needed, but have one spot flexible to allow the 'living/entertaining' space... one permanent spot for 'the car' Curious if anyone has done this?

Well, if you find yourself drinking the brown stuff at my place, you best be prepared for redneck liquor night!! Having said that, I do like my single malts, but I have grown to despise what they cost, especially secondary market (bourbons are no better too) as a result, the last of my Sullivans departed the collection this week (acquired by a well know retailer), there is just so many other things I can add to the collection and enjoy for similar totals $$ value.

Sounds like my "collecting" is at least one order of magnitude smaller than yours 😁 but I know what you mean... I had to unsubscribe from their mailing list after a few impulse buys that now sit there while I wonder if it's too expensive to just open and drink while I watch TV... Anyway, look forward to seeing what you end up building! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get in a huddle with Jad at dinner in a few weeks I’m sure he has some suggestions. He is looking at the same option for a mate of ours that wants a viewing spot in his new build Jad is looking at. another mate keeps his pride and joy in the main entry foyer of his house, sits behind glass and he rotates cars through it. Very understanding wife 😉 Not the best shot but you get the idea, he was showing off the robo vacuum he just bought her 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
