Wonder how long it'll stay this clean...

FFS Pepe that's nuts!

This thread has really shown two extremes, the very messy and the very clean.

Actually it's a bit of cheating on Pepes part there. His sheds still got the bubble wrap on it

Nah. he's to busy playing with his train set most of the time.

He does do some bloody awesome wood work though for relaxation

Pepes's doesn't count a shed has to be built from iron

Corrugated iron but you must also allow the old asbestos cement sheeting clad shed for decrepits sake.
His currently gets my first vote for most enviable.

Sorry Pepe but no self respecting shed has cornice, ever.

Can I claim an exemption from the cornice rule. One of my sheds started life 50 years ago as a galvanised iron skillion roof asbestos sheet clad strip concrete floor garage with about 7 foot headroom at the low side. When my son announced his return from overseas after 3 years away I was confronted with the situation of having no bedroom for him. With an excess of $10,000 quote to demolish in compliance with asbestos regs and start from scratch I decided to jack up the skillion roof about 600mm using hydraulic jacks, build a new structural frame inside to support the roof, lay a floating floor over the concrete, line the outside over the AC sheeting with weatherboard. and line the inside with baltic pine boards. Had Tony W fit a plaster ceiling AND CORNICES. Have subsequently built a new accomodation unit for the grown up kids so the conversion has reverted back to life as a shed.

I've gotta say, a craftsman built boardrack, no doubt dowelled and glued or dovetailed, is pretty schmick. A man's got to do something when the wind don't blow.

Thanks Mikey, it's amazing how much weight a simple lap joint can take, as long as it's a tight fit.

Shed envy.

Pardon my ignorance but whats with the foam or piping in the footstraps on some of the boards stored in the sheds?

Seen it before - is it for travelling so they don't crush or what?

My reasoning is that they hold the intended shape of the strap. I've gone %#@ up number of times because I've gone to kick my bootie clad foot into the straps only to find the strap flattened out on the deck, mind you this doesn't seem to happen to people with more experience, missed the strap altogether or worse kicked the deck and landed somewhere close to where my gear was, clutching a potential ingrown toenail.

best way i found to keep the straps upright is to keep your feet in them

You can always tell a south australian,... but you cant tell them much

How can you tell a local Western Australian - he's the one who moved their from the eastern states five minutes before you

Pepe's gotta be a cabinet maker I reckon, otherwise there is no excuse for that kinda neatness and quality benches and shelves....

Ha-ha, I'm a cabinet maker (joiner), something must've gone wrong here then?!?

Looks like your tables getting away.
