Well thought I would share some pictures, today finally got some progress on the new shop. This will be steel construction. Here are the first few pictures.

Here is the area the shop will be built on.

The pile of trees, dont worry I wish I didn't have to knock out so many trees but I can't have trees in a position to come down on the shop.

Thats it for now, the drott operator is still out there now so we will see how far he gets by days end.

I'll be watching. We built the same and are getting to wiring now. Just came across a deal on 3" foam insulation at a discounter for 2$ a sheet. r17 value.:D

Wait a minute? You expect us to believe you have "trees" and "steel" in Austrailia? :flipoff2:




Looks like it'll be a great build.

what about the shrimps on the barbie?:D

was there any compaction to the fill?

[bubs]

was there any compaction to the fill?

compaction was "track rolled" every 6 inches, basicly he just rolled over it back and forth with the machine to help bed it in. This is a very common practice for both shed/shops and houses over here.

[Ken Carter / BRUISER]

nice.. that is a BIG PAd :)

[Hellbound]

Yeap we have both, trees and steel!

next you'll tell us that there is more than one rock down their...

Yesterday I hired a kanga with a trencher and put my conduit in for my power and network/phone. There is also some 1" high pressure water pipe buried in the ground so eventually i can pump water from this shed up to the love shack. Tommorow I will be buying my cable and some other bits to run the power.
