Thread: Ghost's Shed Build

So Saturday night no rain (great news), and the floor dried overnight.

The next job - installing the racking. I purchased second hand racking but unfortunately it has been living outside for a few months in the weather.
This wasn't a huge deal but it meant that every bracket and upright had to be cleaned (removing dust, grime, stickers, etc).

Once all of the racking had been cleaned - a lot of energy was spent trying to work out the best utilisation of the racking/space... The racking came in different sizes/types, and there was only so much of it.

Here is the racking installed (without the chip-board installed):



The remainder of the day was spent cutting all of the chip board to size AND also painting it in Bondcrete...

Sunday - all of the chipboard was installed, and screwed down in place..



Monday was also a very busy day - installing/configuring the work benches (which are located in Bay 1 & 2). These benches have a much thicker/stronger top (MDF) as well as double strength cross beams):



The work bench will also have back boards installed, and configured as a "shadow" board - which I am moving across from the Garage...

A lot of time was also spent working out the spacing for the shelves. The bench tops have been coated in Bondcrete and screwed down.

The small racking (without a top on it) on the left is only temporary and will be removed, the internal wall (between bay 2 & 3) goes just to the left of that space..
The compressor and sand blaster fits nicely in that space...

I also managed to burn off the remainder of the tree branches, and quite a bit of cardboard at the same time..

So 3 very big days cleaning/sealing the floor, installing the racking & work benches..

Actually I need to go back to work for a rest.

Cheers,
GG.

Full mesh is used as a fall prevention solution during the building phase and is all but useless unless fitted and fixed correctly. There are other options.

I'll be down next weekend with some of my stuff that can be stored on your racks. It will look a little more impressive.

Not even Toms shed would be big enough to shove all your stuff in Mick,,,




I strongly suggest you let me take the little green Moke off your hands for you

From what I've heard JEFF's shed would struggle.

A little birdie tells me that the 2 x roller doors are going on today, and the end wall.... Sounds like things are finally progressing at a quicker pace..

Mick - get in line, you're not the only one with that idea!

Hey, GG, you should have bought this

You'll be needing one.

Hi GG,

Been watching this story with interest. My big meccano set arrives Friday week and I'm doing the lot. Only 11 x 12 with a mezz in half of it. All legit with planning, permits, etc. Been an interesting experience.

Will take pics and learn how to post them up.

Not sure why you went with bondcrete to seal the floor, be careful to keep water off it. I have heaps of experience using it in small doses with heritage buildings in particular applications and have only ever used it on a floor in a cellar to hold together a very porous hand made brick floor.

cheers, DL
