Yippeee!!!!! :yippy: The Shed now has Council Approval!!!!! Yippeee!!!
And that's all the info there is at present. More later this week when I get the estimates of when the cement (hehehe) ok, concrete gets poured, when the kit is expected and when the building days might be.:)
cheers
Wendy
Great that yer gettin there :)
So yer a happy little vegemite then :D
As bright as bright can be :D
Great news Wendy :2tsup:
All I need now is the chance to drill into the rock behind my garage and make my own shed!!!!!
I am envious, but delighted for you at the same time....
I cant believe that you need approval for a shed, any works that cost under $5000 and are not attached to the house dont need approval here.Quote:

Bloody hell!!
Hurry up Wendy!!!
WE WANT A PARTY @ WENDY'S!!!! :wink: :U :U :U :U
:D Yeah Yeah I know, you'se are all lining up for a party, so we'll have to make it a darn huge good'un!!! I'm thinking maybe one of the long weekends, most likely the Queen's birthday in June weekend, a spit roast, HWMNBO's rib fillet special... Yum!!!!:D
At least I'll have enough time to get the laundry renovated. I thought I did well before without a proper workbench, geez talk about learning how to do woodwork, any sort of woodwork out of a shoebox, now that's hard :rolleyes: :)
As Totalspan are doing it all, I have to wait (albeit impatiently) for them to organise and get the concreting and shed building done. It should, be done sometime early May. Decided to go the whole hog. It's only costing me $7190, but I'm very happy not to be doing it all myself. We needed council approval because 1. it's more than 1.3 times the size of the original shed, 2. over $5000? and 3. there's over 9 metres of building wall within 1.5 metres of the boundary. The good thing is that there are no pipes in that area and there is well less than 50% of our block used for sheds/garages.
I have a few plans for the shed, but am starting to think I should work in it for a little while to get the feel for it before setting things up more permanently.
cheers
Wendy:)
The $5000 limitQuote:

Make sure to plaster your posts with pleanty of piccies covering all the real estate of your new home:oo:............I mean Shed:D:D:D
Watching with interest Lou:2tsup:
I don't really want to crash Wendy's thread, but I know that in most councils in QLD the general rule is anything with a permanent roof that covers over 10 square metres must have building approval. so a 3x3m garden shed is fine but a 3x4m garden shed needs approval. The dollars come into whether or not you need an owner builder licence. The amount varies depending on the structure. Sheds/garages used to be $6000Quote:

Thanks Rowan! :2tsup:
I've got no choice but to wait:rolleyes: :( . Even HWMNBO isn't looking forward to idea of me getting cranky/impatient.:cool:
However, it gives me a chance to catch up on a few other things, such as a few house renovations, Major's GTG this weekend, visiting Bob Whitworth's Tree Farm, sussing out the Bris WoodShow on Friday, April 20 (hint hint :D ) and if things get really bad, I've got a few small projects I can do in HWMNBO's shed or I can gather some tools together and disappear off to a mate's shed if I'm really desperate. :)
Cheers
Wendy
Hope it soon before the grumpy kicks in.

Time for another update.
I am now the happy owner of a certain expanse of concrete and a shed kit :D
No date yet on the shed going up, but I'm sure I'll hear something within the next 3 weeks.
No, no coins or hand/footprints or fingername signing on the concrete - I've left it as pristine as possible :)
Ooooooh - I can feel the excitement building from here - like a kid arriving at a birthday party eh!:U:2tsup:
:2tsup::brava::woot::hpydans:
Great to see the shed finally going ahead!
Leave room for the washing !!!
A BobCAt is even easier :DQuote:

The new House of Ruffly liveth. This is good. :2tsup:
My Dad would be despairing - concrete without a penny in it is doomed......Quote:

Now - gotta remember tomorrow to get a couple of new $2 coins and then when the shed's up, I'll epoxy them to the lintel. Will that sort it JMK? :? Funny how you mentioned that, I was remembering , earlier today, my Uncle's shed in NZ and the two pennies on the lintel that my own Dad put there when they built it years ago.....:rolleyes:
Just checked the last number received on the phone ............. :cool:
Al - Aw Geez you're a good buddy!! so you are coming up to build me that brick BBQ at last!!! :2tsup: :p Thanks!!!! :D

Yep, you can thank me for the rain, you can also thank the guy who had his lawn mower repaired, the person down the road who was going to hold a garden BBQ....... :D
By close of business Thursday, I had a shed kit partially unpacked. I spent the weekend looking at half the frame through the rain, that was too drepessing :rolleyes: so I closed the curtains and stopped looking for a while. Today, well, we shall see what happens today. Must go write myself a reminder to buy some camera batteries ..... :doh:
Oh and the biggest stuffup - HWMNBO is going to be cutting some old concrete away so I can open and shut the Personal Door.... :cool:
cheers
Wendy
Good news Wendy
BTW your was not the only posts that got lost in transit
Look forward to seeing the finished pic's
Too right!! :2tsup: :clap:Quote:

So now to appease said wet gods you must sacrifice something eh? :; :U
So is it up yet?
Huh?
Is it up?
Huh?? HUH??
IS IT??
Well, let's see:
Thursday - the kit gets unpacked and prep work done on the gutters.
Friday - half the frame is put up
Monday - the rest of the frame is put up and colourbond walls put up on the gable ends.
Wendy comes home, checks out progress, notices no permaseal. :(( So I guess you can say the permaseal has been sacrificed. :(( :(( :(( :(( :((
I will be checking this first thing tomorrow morning.
Not Happy Jan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
sigh, no wonder the search didn't turn up anything
it's VERMASEAL girl!! :doh:
