I found it's specs online and was staggered to find it was just over 2.8 meters high :eek:
https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/im...014/04/985.jpg
We have the shed I work on stuff in, I try not to park anything in this, it's only 12 x 7 meters so will fill quickly.... The door opening is only about 2meters :eek:
https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/im...014/04/986.jpg
Then there's the carport.... it's about 10 x 7 meters .... height, at the back it's less than two meters, that is a tiny pop top under it that isn't mine. It's low... very low for a caravan.... hmmm....

We have this 10 x 6 meter shed ( diffucult access, 2meter height on the rafters and full of cars) ... and the ugly brown POS that leaks like a sieve and was built out of already stuffed 2nd hand materials 25years ago....
https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/im...014/04/988.jpg
it only has bikes, mowers and maybe a car in it if I'm feeling brave. I can't even walk under it's rafters without ducking (so there just under 6foot high), it's rotten, it stinks................. Hmm, but it's the only location where I can easily back big trailers and caravans too.... hhhhhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.....
Out with the angle grinder :evil: :evil: :evil

I chopped the front wall out, removed the roof and the side wall........ But left two walls on otherwise there would be no cross bracing for the frame......... then chopped the uprights through. I found it was actually sitting on the bloody ground. I started by digging holes around it that were deep enough to get the trolley jack under with.... then lifting it evenly all around... Then I moved onto a bottle jack, sitting ontop of a stack of tires. I thought I had it nice and high at this point, so grabbed a 3meter long piece of lumber to check the rafter height (I was thinking 3meters would be enough to jack the caravan to check wheel bearings etc...). Yep, I was right, so close I only had about another meter to go :eek: :eek: :eek:

It's taken a while, but I'm finally there now. It only took a stack of four car wheels with a bottle jack lifted to it's highest sitting on top of the stacked wheels. I just need to weld the extended uprights back to the footings.... I don't trust the old footings (given the shed was literally sitting on the ground). So I have dug secondary ones beside the existing footings, and will weld a secondary set of footing off the uprights, over too these holes and cement them in as well.

Then all I'll need to do is chase up some decent roofing iron and finish re-cladding it... You don't have to be insane, but it helps :clown: :banana:

I'm sure it's nice but you need to host your photos somewhere else for us to see them.
You can't see the junk yard ?? Oh well I'll try again, my wife certainly is starting to get vocal about the "garden ornaments" around the place :D :wasntme:Quote:

Scored the second shed so now I have to pick it up.
Will finish clearing the bushes and tree debris out the front so I can dig out the raised bed. Should be adding 6 meters to the front.
Mate we should organise a working bee weekend and get that shed sorted!

The shed in Kalgoorlie. Originally three "bays" but I've enclosed one of them to make workshop / toolstore.
Has plenty of height - I can work on the camper trailer with the roof fully up inside the shed. :D
