    Default Finished

    She's Done!!! and I got the keys first

    I even have my shed sign routed and ready for finishing - thanks to Scott at VitalImage for doing it so quickly.

    Thought you might like a picture of the rebate flashing Builderman put in.

    So, next is the hard decision of curtains or a music-player of some sort

    Or else I just might finish the pipes and bubblers to finish council approval stuff instead

    I don't know, decisions decisions

    G'day Ruffly,

    Woohoo! Now go out there and fill it with stacks of machinery, tools, jigs, timber and everything else that lives in the domain of sheds.

    I make things, I just take a long time.

    Alright Wendy!!!!!!!!

    Please explain?
    Al
    Storm water drains can go to a bubbler in the lawn instead of going out to the road so long as they are a certain didtance from any building.
    Have a nice day - Cheers

    Congratulations Wendy

    Are you going to lay a wooden floor over the concrete? It will be kinder on the legs and if you happen to drop a too it will be kinder on that also.

    Regards

    Three hurrahs for you Ruffly. Now hide those keys from you-know-who and you'll be set.

    I think someting light, like sheer curtains with a nice top valance and some swishy tie-backs would be the go. Still lets in the natural light whilst giving that all-important decorative touch. I'd consider white, so the Daylight Saving Time won't fade them.
    Cheers,

    Bob

    Great looking shed Wendy. Now to fill it up with tools and timber, but that won't be hard

    Hmm, normally the sheeting extends down the concrete rebate on the outside, then there is no need for any flashing, and it stops the water splashing up behind the sheeting in heavy storms. I would also put a spout on the end of the downpipe, or connect to irrigation system, to avoid water getting under your sheeting.

    Thanks Guys!!!

    I celebrated with a few tears and a few drinks last night. A pretty eventful moment in my history.

    Pipes and Bubblers.

    As Rowan said, I'll be attaching some downpipe connectors and corners to 90 mm pvc pipe, which will be dug under ground. They'll come out to the middle of the grass somewhere to what's called a bubbler, but it's just a plastic grate so nothing big gets into the pipes. Quite easy to do, especially if I get to sit and watch HWMNBO digging the trenches

    Curtains - Yeah, I'm gonna violate The Code with pretty lace curtains with bright red tiebacks

    A flag pole - I like that idea

    TTIT - I already have orders to "Get Your Timber Out of My Shed" but I'm not rushing yet. I know the concrete will still be damp so I don't want to lay my stash on the concrete, I'd prefer to put it straight onto the racks I'm going to build, just like Major's wood racks.

    The big thing at present is that I want the sparky to have enough room to get the power put in, because when I start to move in, I'm gonna move in....


    Re the Flashing - I specifically asked for flashing, and even though the sheeting does extend way down the concrete, I'm still glad I had it installed - HWMNBO had a lot of dead grass growing up the inside of his shed and guess who set it on fire and had to come rushing in, GET ME SOME WATER THE SHED IS ON FIRE....

    No, no wooden floor but I do have two of Soundman's rubber mats ready to be put in.

    I still kinda can't believe it's actually happened you know.....

    cheers
    Wendy
