If its included in the contract I would be pushing for the contractor to rectify the problem. From what I know of it it can be retrofitted to a wall, but that is not the case here.

Shoulda taken one of Dingo's pills last night :rolleyes:
Builderman said don't panic, TotalSpan do it differently, but the vermaseal will still be going in when it's time to do so.....
I don't need the details, I just want to know it's all being done and done right. Whew! Now I can relax. Today is supposed to be insulate the ceiling day.
Photos!!! :D
cheers
Wendy
Looks great all ready
G'day Ruffly,
Mmmmm, shed. :2tsup:
How many time have you walked past a window in your house and longingly stared at your shed?
How many nights have you spent sleeping in your shed under the stars while hubby sleeps alone in bed at night?
Ahhh, it's a beautiful thing. :2tsup:
Looks like a shed to me! :2tsup: Vermaseal, Permaseal, whatever. Just get it up and fire up the sawdust makers. Oh yeah, and tell HWMNOBO to keep hands off! :D :D
Not long now !!!
It will make a great storage area. You might even have room left over in one corner for a work bench :D
Yep, fantastic for timber storage - shame about the working space :? :D
I actually closed the curtains on the weekend as it was so disheartening to have only half the frame put up. Looks heaps better now though
HWMNBO came in on Saturday and told me that I should hurry up and close the door as the shed was getting wet... grrrrr , funny bugger. :rolleyes:
Woo Hoo, looking great Wendy
So when is the party? :D
June 9 :D not confirmed yet, just waiting to see how it all goes......
Knock on wood:D
Wendy not being rude or anything me dear... but just HOW LONG did they say it would take to whack up this shed so you can use it?... without going back through 8 pages to find out from your posts how big is this thing?... looking at it from the skeleton it looks to be somewhere around what 9mtrs x 6mtrs? if so thats the same size as the one I have... which took just one day from unpack to walk in and start putting machines in place... just wondering why its taking so long for them to put it up even the one in Mandurah a 6x6 only took a day from start to finish
Im just confused is all... here its the 1 May and its not done yet?? Id be seriously going ballistic about now... but the 9th June?? whassat for? DO NOT tell me thats how long its going to take this mob to erect a simple shed in your backyard!!! :o or is that to give yourself a month to sort and move in get comfy have the chintz curtains installed the pink carpet etc? :U
Sorry I just dont get this time thing
No, you are not being rude. Rude and then some is what is being mumbled in my head continuously since last Thursday lunchtime........Quote:

Based on what's been happening, knock on wood :doh: , shed should be totally cooked .... soooonish...... knock on wood knoc..... For goodness sake, don't make me jinx it any further Shane!!!! :(
9 June equals when I should have the laundry finished and all my gear into the shed, hopefully electrics done and maybe insulation/wall panelling happening. Gotta have something other than bare walls and a power cord to celebrate :D
When I built the shed at my last house I was happy just to have a roof and doors!!Quote:
Gotta have something other than bare walls and a power cord to celebrate :D
As they say - "It won't happen overnight but it will happen!"
You payin' extra for installation?
If so, I'd be inclined to ring up the seller, have a good whinge about "complaining neighbours" and demand a refund of the installation fee "as you're obviously going to have to erect it yourself anyway..." :D
The insulation is being installed in the ceiling.......
The other bit of the rude mumbling in the head is that after talking with the builderman, I found out I could have gotten the whole shed insulated, an awning , concrete for the said awning and a double personal door instead of roller door at the shed front, as I originally wanted and still have been able to get it through council without having to go through the red tape of "that's a liveable dwelling, therefore you now have to meet all of these additional regulations".....
If I ever come across that blasted council worker again, he had better run VERY VERY fast. No good ******* ****** ****** ****** feeding me such utter *************** ******* ******* two years running.
That will also teach me to listen to HWMNeverBO and not follow my gut instincts and go after EXACTLY what I want.:((

Geez, I need some serious wood time don't I:rolleyes:
Ah well, it will all turn out ok in the end :B
NEVER EVEN CONSIDERED IT!!! :oQuote:

Gotta have ALL the trimmings BEFORE you can say you have a shed eh?... so mines not a shed? it doesnt have insulation or wall panelling it doesnt have electrics no lights no power switches none of that gumph just nice long extention lead... no window either nor a perspex sheet in the roof...
man in that case Ive never had a shed! I WANT A BLOODY SHED!!! :~
Okay I may be wrong here :B ... but Ive got a concrete floor check... Ive got a steel well okay THIN metal type frame work check... Ive got sheets of tin covering it check... Ive got 2 roller doors well okay sorta roller doors that are already stuffed cause these shed mobs use cheep and nasty cheap in their materials but theyre doors of a fashion... All my tools are in there and fairly secure and I can use them albeit with laying out the extention cord so its a sorta shed?? perhaps?? maybe? kinda? :C
MAN Wendy get it together girl!! ARC UP THE FEMININE TEMPER!! Have a flamin wang dang doodle of a hissy fit!!! but get them mobile on getting it UP and done!! Dont sit there going oooh dear come on chaps get a move on please go bloody KNUTS at them!! Embarrass the hell out of them cajole them with your feminine wiles make them feel theyre letting YOU down no bloke likes to feel that.. Stop offering them coffee an cakes!! give em nothing and get them to bloody work!! shyte June 9th? thats crap girl gerrupem!
Complain to the workers in your most upset ways complain to the boss in anyway you can think of to melt him then complain like buggary to the dopey mongrel that suggested you use the gits! :~ geez I cant believe this!
You know we think the world of you but come on Wendy shove a burning pineapple up their dates!! :~
Sorry but thats just plain wrong Wendy... not taking you to task but rather their unbelievable laziness and slap happy method of putting up a shed! ITS A SHED!! Not a bloody house! damn this makes me wild
Thanks Shane, I needed that.:D
No, I'm not going to throw another hissy fit - takes too much energy:rolleyes:
Builderman might be slow and don't forget he's working by himself, but his work is pristine, in other words, my shed is being built right, first time, and it's a strong, weatherproof one. So, patience is good here. Besides, in all reality, what's another week considering I've waited 5 years for it and I'm sure others have waited longer.:roll:
That type of Sheila???? Geez Shane.... :?
Coffee and cakes?? You gotta be kidding. Sure, I can make a coffee, but make your own damm cake :p
The walls and insulation on the ceiling went up yesterday - fantastically neat job:2tsup: . The main iron on the roof is probably all done by now. Then there's capping, doors, windows, guttering and making sure I get the keys before HWMNBO does :D
cheers
Wendy
Thats fine, if he gets the keys to yours then just take the keys for his. :wink::pQuote:

Dodgy shed salesman, I wont go into why he was dodgy lets just say, he mysteriously was not working there any longer a month after I ordered my shed,
Shed delivery delayed by months and months even after phones calls every day,.:((
When shed does turn up the delivery truck takes out the over head power lines to the house.:(( :((
Kit turns up incomplete, causing more delays:((
It must be like a divinely enforced right of passage that you must endure before you can settle in and truly enjoy a new shed. But 4 years down the track when I'm in that shed, that is now 99% how I pictured it all those years ago, makes all the agro soooooooo worth it :U
cheers
BD:2tsup:
thanks BD. Nice to know this is all par for the course :cool:
WB - He knows to expect major trouble if I find ANY vehicle in my shed :D
9th June :DQuote:

Nearly done now.
Pic 1 - Like the colours?
Pic 2 - Looks kinda wierd without windows, but the roof sure looks good
Pic 3 - HWMNBO sizing up the shed to see if it would make a good finishing booth for him
:nonono: nuh ah, I know where the keys are :lock: :U
Cheers
Wendy
looking good Wendy:cool:
I should like the colours...cause its the same as my shed:D ....except I have a red roof.
cheers
BD:2tsup:
Looking great Wendy, you must be chomping at the bit to get in there and setting it up
Looks good Wendy, have you made the curtains yet?:D
She's Done!!! :runaway:and I got the keys first :U
I even have my shed sign routed and ready for finishing - thanks to Scott at VitalImage for doing it so quickly.:2tsup:
Thought you might like a picture of the rebate flashing Builderman put in.
So, next is the hard decision of curtains or a music-player :walkman:of some sort :D
Or else I just might finish the pipes and bubblers to finish council approval stuff instead
I don't know, decisions decisions :question:
:D
G'day Ruffly,
Woohoo! Now go out there and fill it with stacks of machinery, tools, jigs, timber and everything else that lives in the domain of sheds. :2tsup:
:woot:
Please explain?Quote:

I think someting light, like sheer curtains with a nice top valance and some swishy tie-backs would be the go. Still lets in the natural light whilst giving that all-important decorative touch. I'd consider white, so the Daylight Saving Time won't fade them. :rolleyes: :D :D
Great looking shed Wendy. Now to fill it up with tools and timber, but that won't be hard :rolleyes:
Hmm, normally the sheeting extends down the concrete rebate on the outside, then there is no need for any flashing, and it stops the water splashing up behind the sheeting in heavy storms. I would also put a spout on the end of the downpipe, or connect to irrigation system, to avoid water getting under your sheeting.Quote:

Thanks Guys!!!
I celebrated with a few tears and a few drinks last night. A pretty eventful moment in my history. :D
Pipes and Bubblers.
As Rowan said, I'll be attaching some downpipe connectors and corners to 90 mm pvc pipe, which will be dug under ground. They'll come out to the middle of the grass somewhere to what's called a bubbler, but it's just a plastic grate so nothing big gets into the pipes. Quite easy to do, especially if I get to sit and watch HWMNBO digging the trenches :)
Curtains - Yeah, I'm gonna violate The Code with pretty lace curtains with bright red tiebacks :p
A flag pole - I like that idea
TTIT - I already have orders to "Get Your Timber Out of My Shed" but I'm not rushing yet. I know the concrete will still be damp so I don't want to lay my stash on the concrete, I'd prefer to put it straight onto the racks I'm going to build, just like Major's wood racks.
The big thing at present is that I want the sparky to have enough room to get the power put in, because when I start to move in, I'm gonna move in.... :U
Re the Flashing - I specifically asked for flashing, and even though the sheeting does extend way down the concrete, I'm still glad I had it installed - HWMNBO had a lot of dead grass growing up the inside of his shed and guess who set it on fire and had to come rushing in, GET ME SOME WATER THE SHED IS ON FIRE.... :rolleyes:
No, no wooden floor but I do have two of Soundman's rubber mats ready to be put in.
I still kinda can't believe it's actually happened you know..... :? :)
cheers
Wendy
