    Geeze KJ When I was in my 30s I put heaps of those up around the Wairarapa! Timber 3 bay sheds, 3.9 metre wide bays, 3.6 metres rear to 4 metres at the front x 6metres deep, 1 cube of conc on each leg, 5x2 purlins and 6x2 rafters, corrugated iron clad, no floor 4K + GST erected! We used to join 2 together to make a shed! Company ute dragging a concrete mixer, three guys earning pocket money!!!

    Hence why I went with a container, might be smaller than a shed but sure was quick!

    So Maca if you were a half pie decent son of a bitch you would go and give KJ a hand to throw one up. KJ this is my best effort to shame Maca into helping you build the shed. I don't expect him to actually do it but he may just shout you the shed to get me off his back.

    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Hey Rushy I went to the field days a couple of years ago and low and behold a beaut implement she'd just the same as I used to build! Thought that's a bit strange, got talking to the guy and 30 older took us a while to realise he was my foreman when we were building them! Must have kept a copy of the plans!!!! So there we are you can still buy them in the Wairarapa, good designs are good designs!

    Looking good!

    White inside though? Makes for cheap lighting, being able to see stuff, etc.....

    Black for now (building paper), will line it one day. There are 8 skylights, so plenty of light during the day. Wall lights for night.

    Getting a couple of those spinners to remove heat. Doors getting fitted by the pros next week...wiring after that...all go!
