Ryan, thinking back left corner! Probably right near where the TV/Fridge/Couch will end up! HAHA!

Good job there.
Will add something that may help someone else down the track.
When you build your frames, completely build them, sides and roof, then stand them up.
Saves the hassle of trying to put the roof section on after.
Looks like you got out of it ok, but have seen others pull it down after trying to put the roof sections on.
Bloody nice shed.

Yeah mate,

We built the walls laying flat, (Cladding, gutters etc) then stood them up. Its amazing how much easier it is that way! And how much nicer you get all your Teks in.

How do you build it with the roof at the same time? Sounds like you'd need a heap of people to stand it up!

What i am really happy with, the slab we were building on, isnt 100% perfect and level. Its probably 20-30yo and has lots of high and low spots. But the shed is 100% plumb and perfect! Now the shed is there. I'm going to repair the low spots in the concrete, and run some self-leveller over it to get it perfect! Then paint it with some of that epoxy paint stuff they use on workshop floors. Can't wait to get it all done! Do it once, do it right! HAHA!

Last nights progress.

Can hopefully get the roller doors hung over the next few days. They are the last fiddly bit to worry about. All should be complete over the weekend!

[MRLXSS]

Its a variation of what you did.
You bolt your three main frames together, uprights and roof frames.
2 people and a couple of ropes are needed.
Stand one frame up and secure it roughly in the right place with ropes.
Stand the next one up then put in the horizontal wall purlins to make it roughly secure.
Stand the last frame up and connect it in.
Then square it all up and tighten it up.
An easy trick with the teks that works only if its all square is to measure up where the screws will go and then pre drill all the sheets while they are still stacked together.

[MRLXSS]

Should have got you over mate! We would have had it up in half a day with your guidance! HAHA!

Pre-drilling the sheets all stacked together is a great idea though! At least you know they will be straight and in the right spot!

[mr5000]

sunds like the way the armish woulda done it with all the ropes and stuff

[Rockoz]

Have helped build quite a few over the years.
Learned a lot by watching professionals.
They taught me a lot of the quick efficient ways of doing it.

Last time I was dodging tsunamis in Samoa. The time before that, yes, I was getting a blue rinse and a perm.

Well done matt nice work ,its good to have good mates and family that will spare a weekend for a good corse.

I think your a least a mouth away before its all sorted power, benches ,storage and shelving the hardest thing is sleeping and going to
work when all you want to do is finish the job.

Keep the updates coming,it will be good to see you start throwing some punches at the next project.

[MRLXSS]

Well, I forfeited going to the Maroondah Dam Cruise today, to finish the shed!

I am happy to say i had a productive day! Shed is 98% finished now!
