Workshop build, Melbourne, Australia.

[andyaus]

For that 'time' every month when the other one is broken!

Ah haha too funny

 

[andyaus]

Ok all I have these two pictures with caption bubbles for my workshop, now I didn't like the original text so I've blanked them out and would love inventive (orginal) suggestions. Let's see what you can do Andy....

Today at the job I was on I notice a couple of air regulators for spray painting , after speaking to the maintenance manager found that they no longer used them ? So after a bit of a Chat about them, my work shop and the spray booth i'm going to build in it (2.4meters x 1.9meters)(7.9f x 6.2f), I ended up with the both of them and a heap of connectors "yay me"

You scored well today.

 

[andyaus]

You scored well today.

Hell yeah I did

 

[andyaus]

Maybe something like this?

 

[andyaus]

Ok so it's time to move on to stage 2 of this little project the deck. Today I marked out for the joists so that I check my numbers ,there needs to be 65 5mtr joists for sure and I still need to work out posts and stirrups any how heres a couple of pic's of (as my wife puts it) the snail race track

 

[HOTFR8]

Question for you will the timber floor be over that paving ?

 

[Kevin54]

How do you keep water from pooling down in that corner?

 

[HOTFR8]

Looks like it has a drain Kevin.

 

[andyaus]

How do you keep water from pooling down in that corner?

Yes there's a drain there are so many different types of concrete and pavers in this area and all at different levels, that it seem logical (and aesthetically ) to deck over to create "ONE" level ! and since I didnt want a damp smell I made sure that it was all covered and had good dranage..cheers andy

 

[andyaus]

I guess this means I've got a busy weekend ahead of me since this lot got dropped off this morning

 

[HOTFR8]

Hmm..progress sounds good.

 

[Thedoc14]

The shelves dont look that big next to the bikes and remote cars,, so Im guessing the boss lady is only around 4' tall. You had better watch out, the smaller the meaner they are..
Is the decking on stirrups or tar paper?

Ok so I made it through the day with no issues, here is the results of the day, 3 sets of rim joists in!, 1/3 of the joists in too tomorrow the remainder of the joists and however many of the remaining 95 stumps

 

[Justanoldguy]

Looking good.
Big area to do.
How many sq/ft?
Are you putting any bearers under those joists?
Looks like a big span.

LOL

 

[andyaus]

#1; What do you mean honey bunch? The guys are over and you have to change the spark plugs in the weed eater?

[1/2 Cup]

Done well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[AndysMBgarage]

I hope you have a decent auger for all those posts you have to put in!

 

[andyaus]

Done well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cheers

 

[andyaus]

I hope you have a decent auger for all those posts you have to put in!

haha, luckily that won't be needed as 95% of the deck is over various types of concrete (albeit at different heights ?) which I checked the thicknesses and is a minimum of 100mm which is perfect for all of the stump stirrups

 

[andyaus]

Right, so 4 posts concreted in tonight and i'll sort the middle one out tomorrow. Turns out that there was some loose gravel backfill right in the middle post hole area, after I dug it out the hole is 1-1/2 feet deep x 1 foot wide x 2 feet long I poured a 100mm concrete base into it tonight and once it has set to support the center post ill fill the rest then break time till the weekend... maybe lol.....

 

[andyaus]

Right, well then! So I tought that center post hole a lesson it wont soon forget (3 barrow loads of concrete !) I have now finished up all the posts for the end rim joist ;D so finally I'm gonna get a night off on Thursday ??? Any way here is a few pic's of the 4 outside posts that are cured and the middle 1 I've just set.

(and they said "what do you need want with a concrete mixer?) lol

Thanks for sharing your build on Youtube, it looking great
You have clearly put a lot of thought into it, heaps of socket outlets, good lighting, air lines, airconditioning, insulation to the max and the list goes on.
Enjoy your little piece of workshop heaven!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[HOTFR8]

+1

I haven't hear La Grange for ages!

That's a very nice garage you've got there

 

[andyaus]

Thanks guy's i'm glad you enjoyed the slide show yeah i'm happy with the shop it's just adding the finish now (pictures and a lifter)

Here is a great panorama my wife took

 

[andyaus]

Didn't get anymore done on the deck, however I did manage to get the new lock for the work shop door built and installed.

 

[andyaus]

So i've changed my mind I don't like the dark floor finish it makes the whole shop seem dark, i'm going to hire a concrete grinder and take the paint off. I don't think i'll doing anything to it after that for a while but may have an epoxy chip finish done in future. Still need to add some Finishes to the walls and storage boxes under the bench shelves.
