    All I need now is the chance to drill into the rock behind my garage and make my own shed!!!!!

    I am envious, but delighted for you at the same time....

    I cant believe that you need approval for a shed, any works that cost under $5000 and are not attached to the house dont need approval here.

    Hi Wendy,

    Congrats on being able to build a new shed. I put a bunch of windows and some translucent roof panels in my shed design, to let the light in. With the benefit of hindsight I wish I had left out a window or two, in favour of wall space, as I get plenty of light from the roof panels. Food for thought.....

    Cheers,


    Justin.

    Yeah Yeah I know, you'se are all lining up for a party, so we'll have to make it a darn huge good'un!!! I'm thinking maybe one of the long weekends, most likely the Queen's birthday in June weekend, a spit roast, HWMNBO's rib fillet special... Yum!!!!

    At least I'll have enough time to get the laundry renovated. I thought I did well before without a proper workbench, geez talk about learning how to do woodwork, any sort of woodwork out of a shoebox, now that's hard

    As Totalspan are doing it all, I have to wait (albeit impatiently) for them to organise and get the concreting and shed building done. It should, be done sometime early May. Decided to go the whole hog. It's only costing me $7190, but I'm very happy not to be doing it all myself. We needed council approval because 1. it's more than 1.3 times the size of the original shed, 2. over $5000? and 3. there's over 9 metres of building wall within 1.5 metres of the boundary. The good thing is that there are no pipes in that area and there is well less than 50% of our block used for sheds/garages.

    I have a few plans for the shed, but am starting to think I should work in it for a little while to get the feel for it before setting things up more permanently.

    cheers
    Wendy

    I don't really want to crash Wendy's thread, but I know that in most councils in QLD the general rule is anything with a permanent roof that covers over 10 square metres must have building approval. so a 3x3m garden shed is fine but a 3x4m garden shed needs approval. The dollars come into whether or not you need an owner builder licence. The amount varies depending on the structure. Sheds/garages used to be $6000

    Sorry Wendy, back to the celebrations!
    Have a nice day - Cheers

    And that's all the info there is at present. More later this week when I get the estimates of when the cement (hehehe) ok, concrete gets poured, when the kit is expected and when the building days might be.

    Thanks Rowan!

    I've got no choice but to wait . Even HWMNBO isn't looking forward to idea of me getting cranky/impatient.

    However, it gives me a chance to catch up on a few other things, such as a few house renovations, Major's GTG this weekend, visiting Bob Whitworth's Tree Farm, sussing out the Bris WoodShow on Friday, April 20 (hint hint ) and if things get really bad, I've got a few small projects I can do in HWMNBO's shed or I can gather some tools together and disappear off to a mate's shed if I'm really desperate.

    Cheers
    Wendy

    Time for another update.

    I am now the happy owner of a certain expanse of concrete and a shed kit

    No date yet on the shed going up, but I'm sure I'll hear something within the next 3 weeks.

    No, no coins or hand/footprints or fingername signing on the concrete - I've left it as pristine as possible
