Hi Steve, Just off ebay mate . http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/NORWOOD-ROUND-UP-DOWN-EXTERIOR-WALL-LIGHT-304-STAINLESS-STEEL-OUTDOOR-/111402101363?hash=item19f0152a73:m:mGvCkGG1aCKi3p_5ZJDRoWg Cheers Sean! Hi Andrew, my shed is 500mm from the rear boundary, and 200mm from the side boundary...

Re: 4 car garage/workspace down-under Thanks for sharing Matty.. look forward to watching it unfold. Whats the ceiling height that you are working with?

Cheers mate! Quick question for the masses... I've bought 2 x "Up/Down lights" for the exterior lighting of the garage as seen here : Whats the consensus on placement.... either side of the roller door, or one at each end of the front side of the building... I can't decide!

Well, the great news this week is that I've had the final inspection and it passed with flying colors. The certifier was very impressed with the quality of the frames and the accuracy - his tape measure agreed with the approved plans to the millimeter! :) So credit must go to the Endurofab...

Excellent job on the ceiling in particular. Having done a project that only used around 100 pallet boards, I can only imagine the time and effort involved in that ceiling! Its that kind of detail that makes or breaks a project - and its certainly a highlight. Well done!

I just stumbled on a picture that I absolutely love. Its from earlier on, when the driveway was getting poured. Here are my 2 site supervisors , making sure those dodgy concreters are getting it right.

Thanks Steve. Its a budget build, but admittedly it will be at least $3K-$4K more expensive than a typical Titan/Ranbuilt etc portal based structure. Total cost all up will be AUD $17K ($14K USD for our friends across the pond) for everything except for benches and storage. If anyone is...

Thanks mate! Power/Lighting will be 10 x double T5 fixtures, couple external down-lights, 10x Double 10A GPOs and 1 x 15A socket as well for my welder. I don't have any 3 phase requirements.

OK, trenching time! As I am getting close to the final certifier inspection, one of the jobs that I have been putting off is the stormwater connections. I will be running a 90mm downpipe from each gutter into a 100mm rainhead, and then 100mm DWV pipework all the way back to the 2 x 10000L...

Great job on the floor and grass driveway in particular!

Alrighty, another day of work done. Would have spent the entire weekend, except I had to attend a BBQ that was only going to be an hour or so, but 8 beers later and its night time.... how did that happen? :dunno: So we finished off the cladding, its now all done and I'm very happy with it...

I'd go aluminum composite panel in gloss white. 3mm gap filled with black silicon. Fasten with stainless button heads. Sweet :)

Thank you for the kind comments everyone. I am also looking forward to the interior fitout - At this stage I will likely be going for a themed retro race garage style. Maybe Gulf or Martini Racing colors. I have a 62 Beetle waiting to be completed and also would like to start on a Porsche...

Now that the windows and doors are all in, I was able to start with the external cladding to the garage. This is the stage I’m most looking forward to as it will really complete the exterior. I had budgeted $3000 for the cladding based upon a supply only quote from the same company that had...

Thanks everyone. Yes the wife is eyeing off the rest of the timber for some new furniture :) Dave: Some details of the frames are here : http://enduroframe.com.au/manufacturing/ENDUROFRAME_building_system The pricing is pretty good around $3000 inc frame assembly and delivery for my...

That fence has a lot of character! :) I love it. The shed design looks nice, look forward to seeing it progress

One of the things that has been annoying me while building the garage is that I don’t have a good workbench. From measuring, cutting, grinding or anything, working on the concrete floor is a pain in the neck. As is working on 2 wobbly sawhorses which were my other option! I have always...

Next up was trying to get the thing watertight, or close to it. I was excited this, as I was tired of having all my tools and gear spread throughout various parts of my house. Always losing stuff !! I had budgeted a smaller than usual amount for windows and doors, as I was hoping to pick...

Hi, the Westfield ran a 4AGE 20V motor from a JDM Toyota Sprinter. And yep, hopefully the shed will turn out well. The space is the most I can fit, both in height (council restriction of 3.5m average height), and floor space (wife set that as the limit of garden I can use up!) Cheers...

After getting all the roofing iron on, it was time to stick the underlay for the external cladding on. I will be using a PVC/Vinyl cladding to match the house. I’m using fibre-cement all round as the underlay. Some people use ply, however given this will be a lengthy build (budget and time...
