Matt great thread, make sure you keep posting updates I am loving watching the progress.

Spewing you missed todays run to Maroondah Dam but "the" garage is an important addition in any man's life.

Thanks everyone! Pumped as to start working in the shed, as opposed to on the shed!

It does feel awesome to look at it, and know that i put it up (With others help of course!). Its just like that colorbond ad as well. I walk away backwards just staring at it, thinking how great it looks!

My office hands have taken a battering as well over the last few weekends! I have so many cuts and metal splinters! HAHA!

Having a night off tonight... Need to wash the ute and do other stuff around the house! If i do anything, it might just be nutting out the access door to make the lock work better. Thanks for the offer though!

Nice work Matt, good to see you went fairly big first off and not the bareset minimum only to wish you went bigger first time around.

Looks great.

Something I did with mine was to buy a few cans of expanding foam and pump it into the little cavities along the bottom of the sheets where they meet the concrete.

It keeps out dust and a bit of water and also stops grass growing up inside the shed.Keeps out beetles,spiders,lizards and snakes,too.

Do it before you put to much up against the walls or its a pain in the arse.

^^ I'll Definitely be doing something like that!

Overall the shed coped really well. We got so much rain last night! Just checking the BOM we got almost 50mm last night!

We had a crazy storm roll over, and the noise on our tin roof was deafening! Little rocky didnt even wake up! Only leaks in the shed was around the bottoms like you said, where it splashed up!

Sorry, this thread is starting to look like an OrangeLJ thread!

I'll get some pics tonight of the new water tank we installed on the weekend! 2500L slimline off eBay for $765 Delivered.

Good ole Wraith75 (Kev) came down on the weekend for a drinking session as well, and luckily also had a tray full of sand in the back that we ended up using for the base of the water tank!

Got the tank all plumbed up yesterday (Pity i missed the 50mm we got on Friday night!). But some rain is forecast for this week, so hopefully we can fill the sucker up! Bring on washing the cars!!!

I also have to thank Knoath (Dick) who hooked me up with some paint for the concrete! What a bloody legend!!! :spoton:

Next job now is to level/smooth out the slab so i can get this paint down and start decking the shed out with benches/shelves/TV/power/ Beer etc etc etc!

This forum is full of awesome people, and thanks heaps to everyone so far that has helped! There will always be beer in the Shed fridge for you helpers!
