    Mines got a metre more on the sides than yours and Ive been arguin with her highness ever since that its too flamin small!!

    Looks professional though unlike mine which was put up by mineownself and two of my sons and a son-in-law to be... exactly NONE of whom had a bloody clue!! :eek: made a right bodgy job of it too we did! extra c channel left over sheets amazing that its still up really got a concreter in to do the pad but should have done that myself as well another one of those tradie issues Im afraid

    Still it looks the ducks knuts mate... kids like it you like it what more can you want eh!

    Im still runnin the 50mtr extention lead almost a year after putting the thing up!! makes for an interesting time when you want lights AND run the thicknesser/saw/jointer/bandsaw AND the dusty I can tell you!! pops the board out every time!! turn the lights off and it works the tool plus dusty dont turn it off and... well... you gotta turn something off!! man I need power out there!

    My down pipes run out on the ground, but im on a sandy block, so it doesnt cause a problem. Yet.

    Recommend a subboard. I put one in, and got sparkie to fit off, not too pricey, about $45 from Ideal Electrical. Then you can have the safety switch, circuits for machines....

    Tommy, If I had your rainfall I wouldn't bother with downpipes ... struggling to justify the gutters at the moment ... especially if you're not collecting the rainwater.

    In fact over that side of the world the only thing a roof is keeping off is sun ... so go for shade cloth ... it's cheaper
    Ramps

    When one has finished building one's house, one suddenly realizes that in the process one has learned something that one really needed to know in the worst way--before one began.

    With you there Ramps... buggar the gutters just extend the roofline a tad and install a wee garden an the runoff will water it for you without affecting anything else.

    Dont have any on the shed and wont have any on the house when it comes... hate the sodding infurnal things

    Yep, they did a fab job on mine. Looks sweet, and works good too... plenty of rain here lately and not one leak

    My BIL got a titan and he put it up himself... doesn't look half as good

    Default Shrinking shed

    Mine's the same size - only one large door though - and it slides.
    Yeah - they look massive when they're empty... But...
    Sliding table saw
    6 inch jointer
    DC
    Thicknesser
    Bench morticer (I got a Leda)
    Drill press
    huge bench (too high)
    medium bench (storage underneath)
    SCMS
    Router table
    2 cupboards for drills/elec plane/beltsander/bits/blades
    Jake and Jess's 50cc 4-runners
    lawnmower
    whippersnipper
    herinthehouse's chrissy deco's
    and my junk. . .
    There's bugger all room to swing a cat.
    Table saw in in the middle
    all else spaced around the walls
    no room for double rollers
    Wish I'd been able to afford a shed as big as Bunnies...
    Great feeling though - init???
    Cheers
