Archetype Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Neat shed. How'd you find the Waikato Shed Company to deal with? I've been in touch with them about building mine, and they've been good so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rookie Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 I'll put in a good word for them. Their instructions are shit though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j.e.d. Posted March 20, 2015 Author Share Posted March 20, 2015 Yea I found them pretty good to deal with. Happy I got someone to put it together and it worked out heaps cheaper on an hourly rate than a fixed contract price. Their instructions are a little vague in places, but overall a great product and the best price from everyone I got quotes from, including totalspan who I thought were supposed to be well priced..

j.e.d. Posted March 21, 2015 Author Share Posted March 21, 2015 Been pretty slack over the last week or so with progress so not much to report - got the gutters on though.. In other news, I did a deal with the builder on my Torana sedan. So he's picking that up later today. It's meant all the labour for the last few weeks has been to pay for the car & it simplifies my project list down to the HQ & the Torana hatch, so I'm pretty happy about that. Oh, & I managed to start the HQ yesterday - was the first time it ran in 10 years, so massively stoked about that!! I took a vid of that so if I manage to transfer that on to my computer I'll post it up when I start a build thread on it. Happy Days! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bangbug Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Since you didn't dig a pit you must be installing a hoist! Yay! How deep was that slab again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j.e.d. Posted April 14, 2015 Author Share Posted April 14, 2015 yep you're right there 3m eave, 4m apex height should be plenty high enough for a hoist when funds allow. The slab is a good 120mm deep throughout that end bay so it'll be good and solid 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRWEST Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 take note of how clean that floor is now, haha even with paint mines a mission to keep clean haha.

kempy Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 I like to think of it as...My interests are far bigger than my shed. C\: Run "Shed Cycle" 10 Print "Shed clean and organised!!" 20 Print "start a project" 30 Print "stuff dumped in shed in a hurry" 40 Print "pull shed apart looking for stuff under the stuff dumped in a hurry" 50 Print "Shed in absolute chaos as I cant find anything, avoid shed as long as possible" 55 Print "Frustration building" 60 Print "Dump more stuff?" 70 input x 80 if X$ ="yes" then 60 90 Print" At breaking point yet?" 100 input z 110 if z$=yes then goto 130 120 Goto 60 130 Print "Clean up Shed, inorganic is in 6 months so stick it on oldschool " 140 Goto 10 ok so it's been 20 years since I programmed in basic... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j.e.d. Posted September 7, 2015 Author Share Posted September 7, 2015 Been a while. Need motivation (and other non car related projects around the place to go away).. Finally laid a cable... Big thanks to everyone's help & advice on this subject. Now just gotta find an electrician (and some money) to do the business to the ends. Luckily for now the sun is bright & my extension lead is long Sorted out the retaining wall outside the PA door. Went from this.. To this.. Still gotta put a couple more posts in beside the shed & build a little lean to roof for shelter / outside communal area. I'm still tidying up inside the shed from when I mass dumped all my crap in there a few months ago. I've built some shelves outta this high density board I picked up for a dollar. A guy said it's the stuff they use to build prison walls out of so should be strong enough. Next update, pic's of shelves, benches & a dart board 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
