Thread: Ghost's Shed Build

Tom, go high with the shed, that way you can always put in a mezzanine floor or a loft for storage, etc. Looking forward to watching the build. Cheers, Mick.

I'm hoping that the big dig will start in about 2-3 weeks.. Fingers crossed.

I've been busy with a big project at work, and then coming home each night and doing 2 hours of wood splitting...

Here is the fence up for the orchard:


Here is the Ghost helping me to move the unwanted tree branches:




Spot the supervising mutts:


And finally (after some blood, sweat and tears) - some nice firewood:




Almost done - the stump is being left in place so that it can be pushed over/out:



Cheers,
Grey Ghost

I feel exhausted just reading your posts ... If I had a bush block I could get firewood from .... I'd chase up a post hole digger ..... and a screw type auger.

As Mick said, he had a great run. Couldn't hold him back up through the Pentlands, and sat on 90 (GPS) easily and wanted to do more.

Fuel consumption was around 20 LP 100 KM by the looks of the fuel gauge.

Will be sorting the small electrical issues tomorrow that involved a push start and no indicators on the way home.

A small bit of the magic smoke escaped too, so I bet that's the problem,

Got an interesting thought in the brake issue - I'll be looking at that too. Will post more in my thread on all of this after a good nights sleep and some diagnosis in the morning.

Enjoying this thread mate - looking forward to seeing how it all pans out.
Cheers,

Tom, those five 9 metre deep bays will house ten 88" Land Rovers, even a 109" and an 88" in each, so you shouldn't need to extend the shed for at least a couple of years.


Cheers, Mick.

storage only ... You'll fit two cars side by side in a 4meter bay. So you can fit 4 cars in one of the bays if they are long term storage!

Hi All,

Just a small update on the shed..

The last piece of the bureaucratic paperwork puzzle is called a "consent to build" form that comes from the VBA (Victorian Building Authority), a government department. I need this before the building certificate can be supplied (I've spoken to the building surveyor and he has said "as soon as you have the VBA consent form, I will give you your permit. You are ready to go")

Anyway... Let's just say that initially the VBA knocked back my application because my nationally accreditted "white card" is no longer accepted in Victoria as of 01/01/2017.. I had numerous heated discussions with the good folk at the VBA, and they finally agreed to make an exception for me.. Thank goodness.

I did say to them "I have national accreditation, so are you telling me that Victoria is no longer part of Australia? Have you informed Canberra? Have you changed the constitution?"

Anyway - that little issue is all now sorted, thank goodness.

I also spoke to the concreter:

* He puts plastic down under ALL of his slabs
* He will use double mesh in the hoist area
* He will ensure that the hoist area is re-inforced for at least 3-4 mtrs

I'm still waiting on the VBA form but things are slowly happening..

Hi GG,

Is the white card you refer to the construction site induction thing issued by Worksafe?
