So this has continued to progress, have built a mezzanine bar in the back of the shed.

Re: 4 car garage/workspace down-under I rate the Ozito power tools ,and especially like their 3 year warranty. :rocker: I have found though building your own trolleys can get expensive with the cost of wheels. Managed to get some wheel dollies for $80NZD a pair (half price) rated at 900kg from...

I had some holdups on shed work. Salmonella - 7 days off work, 12 days no work on the shed Took a holiday for Black Sabbath and Iron Maiden concerts in Auckland which was 5 days away from home Threw myself off a ladder - 3 days off work and another 14 days not allowed in the shed But back into...

Hey Bib, those guards are actually pretty strong, trailer is almost 40 years old and they haven't been knocked around much. A little bit overloaded there so sitting lower than they normally do. Bugthug, questions are all good. Using 17mm thick plywood (about 2/3 of an inch). Not too heavy but...

Thanks for the encouragement 1/2 Cup. :rocker: Doors are now on, semi commercial roller doors with some pretty fancy motors that take up to 500 :eyecrazy: remotes. Even have battery backup so will work in a power cut. 4.7m wide on the lean-to with the main door 4.8m wide. The lean-to had...

Got another timber delivery. So started lining the lean to. Doors are going on tomorrow so will will have it closed in and secure by the end of the day. Callum

Thanks for the encouragement guys, can't wait to get the doors on so I can start putting some cars into it. Built another shelving unit, this will attach to the end of the toilet area and tyre rack. Also picked up the rest of the panels for the front fence, couldn't put this in and plant...

Shelving unit built, slots perfectly between the trusses. Twisted my knee pretty bad so was fun getting up and down the ladder to get it all screwed together, just won't tell the doctor what I'm up to after they told me to take it easy. :lol: Solid as so will take plenty of weight and is...

Bit more work on the workbench, finished off the upper shelf. Going to mount a plug in light under the shelf once the electrics are sorted. Will be pretty solid once the 30mm ply top goes on. Callum

Been a bit slack on the updates here, have a months break between jobs though so progress is being made. Bonus of the job change is a bit of a cash injection from holiday pay etc to help move things along. Main things I have been working on are continuing the wall lining, framing out the toilet...

Ran out of my pallet of plywood, trying to see if I can get another pallet or two but not looking good. Might have to pay retail. :willy_nil Callum

So long weekend in the shed but some good progress, should have the curved wall finished tomorrow night. Got most of the curved wall done, all locked in with trim strips so the 20kg plus weight of each sheet isn't held just by the screws into it. Think I am over 1200 screws so far using a cheap...

Yep, that's the one. Worked 4V Hemi V8, W55, F series Crown disc brake diff, Lexus front brakes. Been in storage while this shed got built so keen to get back into it. Callum

So made a bit of progress today, not as much as I wanted but worked out the best way to attach the sheets. For the lower level, the are mounted on the front of the bottom rail, then some timber offcuts from a previous project have been screwed to the bottom of the next rail with the ply screwed...

Yeah the 1/2 round barns are pretty common in the North Island for farm shed etc, the lean-to is part of their standard designs but I got them to do the reverse curve for something a bit different. You will be happy to know it is going to be home to a few old Toyotas once I get the doors on, got...

I have now started on lining the shed with 17mm thick plywood, going to take a few sheets to get it all done. Takes a little bit of playing around for the curved wall. That is the job for the rest of the weekend, hope to get the whole curved wall up to 3m high done and then start on the...

So been a bit slack on the updates, in the middle of a big job change so got a bit distracted. Floor is done. Pretty happy with the results. Callum

So the shed is all boxed up ready for the concrete, just the last of the plastic to be laid and the chassis tie down points to be placed. Imported some Champ anchor pots as no one in New Zealand wanted to supply them, had extra reinforcing added to them and just need to be taped up before...

Have edited, pics should show now. I have a plan for lining but don't need to do the whole roof area, will just be doing all the walls up to around 3m (10ft). Have a pretty mild climate here so no need for insulation, lining is going to be more to give me a surface to hang stuff from. There will...

Thanks 1/2 Cup. I guess I should really start at the beginning as this has been a really long process to get the shed to this stage. Used to have an 8x10m (roughly 26x33 foot) shed with mezzanine storage and a small office in it. After doing a lot of fencing around the section as my wife wanted...
