Well... It's been a long read, but worth every minute. This truly has been an inspirational undertaking, and a credit to your vision and your patience. Anyone can grab a wad of cash an build something fancy and new, but to give a new lease of life to an old girl the way that you have is...

Thanks mate, for the 'Welcome', though I've been here a while... So Welcome mjd1810, and thanks for looking.

Re: An Aussie "Shed", forever a W.I.P. - the latest toy. I found a new toy!!! Isn't ebay a wonderful thing?? Only thing is, the motor is 3 phase (415V). But I got in touch with the company that manufacture the motors for Molnar, and bought a single phase (240V) motor. Yesterday I bought...

Hey Topcat. Sorry I missed this earlier, yes the insulation definately helps with the condensation. No drips anywhere, whereas the pergola, with no insulation, drips all over the place. I would highly recommend installing it in any shed/workshop.

Sadly, I can't claim this as my own, or even my idea. It was an email sent to me by a mate, jokingly asking me if I'd give it a go. I reckon I could if I put my mind to it. I showed it to SWMBO, and was promtly told that I could build her, from scratch, our front security screen door, complete...

Nice job Jack. Pretty ambitious for a first time welding project. Top stuff. One question though... What would you have done differently had you measured correctly the first time? 39' divided by 5... 7' 9 and 77/128" each? LOL Maybe a front gate next...

MORE PICS, OR IT DIDN'T HAPPEN!!!:lol_hitti Seriously, awesome job fella. Mostly, renovating can be more of a pain in the neck than building from scratch, but so much more satisfying when you're done. :thumbup: Keep up the great work. :beer:

I'm not familiar with your towing regulations in the States, but here in Australia, home-made towbars are frowned upon, and all towbars are required to have a certification tag attached. Having said that, most of those Hayman Reece hitch receiver towbars made here are rated between 2500 and...

Tres Bien!! And that's about as far as my French goes...

Nice work. I see you didn't get the flame stool. Two observations... Instead of adding to the legs of the bench, you could have cut down the legs of the stool... It looks like you have a power outlet above the bench that your compressor is plugged into. Could I suggest getting two more power...

:lol_hitti Nice space...:thumbup: What are you putting in it?

LOL...Dump bed!!?? If you think it's some sort of Camper, I can see what you mean. No, The truck's an '81 Holden Rodeo 4WD, younger brother to your Chevy Luv. I did build the tray, as the rear tub was badly rusted and dented when I got it, but on top is just a couple of bucket seats from a...

What!!! A Dodge Charger not painted Orange???!!! :thumbup:

It's common practice over here to pour the floor inside the shed, using boards on the outside. I painted the inside of the sheets in bitumen paint to protect them from corroding. Then some crushed rock, reinforcing mesh, and 3 large concrete trucks. Don't really have the cold weather down here...

Externally, she's complete, concrete floor poured, electricals hooked up, water and phone line done while I had a trench dug, and final permit inspection done... There's now 3 x 5000lt water tanks down the far end of here... And a steel rack I fabricated to get my RHS off the floor...

G'day guys, and ladies. I've wandering around here for a little while now, looking in awe at some of the masterpieces being created, and gathering inspiration to further enhance my own place to retreat. Several years ago we pulled stumps and move from the very outskirts of Melbourne's outer...

I think, If you read it again, you'll find kmev was using scuba tanks for his own air supply until he found this compressor...
