Shed ? Man Cave ? Mini 4th ?

Postby the kid » Fri Apr 08, 2011 7:12 am

Have needed more storage and a workshop for quite a while now .
Just after New Years , Stace came up and gave me a hand stripping and leveling an area in my back yard .
Things slowed badly due to some issues with the shed supplier :roll: and they are still not properly sorted .... but 3 weekends ago Stace came up again and we bored the post holes .
I had built the small retaining wall in the mean time .
The last 2 weekend have been quite productive , cant wait to get into it again this weekend . Saturday only tho :cry: Bloody family commitments

Getting that first post up really inspired me :D
I have had to drill all the holes and work out the spacings etc etc . Supplier has been hopeless . Its fortunate I have a couple of ideas on how to put something together , and have gathered a heap of lenghts of timber to brace everything .
Poured concrete around the post only last Sunday , another great milestone :D

Definitely looking good Bill, look forward to completion, as I daresay are you.

Good work there billy..

Stace would have loved operating that baby CAT rippin those trees out. :twisted:

So with a new shed does this mean no bikes or parts will be in the house?

"a calendar of girls" eh?, sounds to me like you mean a differant girl kept in the shed for every day of the year. Sounds excessive and costly, but would be fun. :lol:

But he can put a bolt into almost anything!


Billy, how the Fuck did you get council approval for that? It takes up your whole friggin yard. At least you have less lawns to mow though.
