This is going to be my storage shed and possible workshop. I started this plan last October and posted some photos in the "Concrete slab" thread,
photo from October. I was just going to put up a 3m x 2m garden shed and use it as a storage shed for my camping and boat gear.
Since then, I have turned my garage in to a room for someone to live in, so I don't have too much spare room for all my tools. I removed a carport that you can just see in the above photo, and extended the area for the new shed. The new shed is now going to be 5m x 3m. The watertank can still go in the same place in the photo, the blue circle.
I was going to do the slab myself but thought it may never happen, i googled some prices for slabs and thought I'd get a quote, a fella came around and said $1000 so i thought what the hell just do it. I don't even have a wheel barrow so by the time i bought a decent wheelbarrow, timber for boxing up, other gear and materials i thought sometimes it's just easier to get someone else to do it. So hopefully it will be done this week, depending on rain.
Then the shed build begins, I'm looking forward to that bit. I'm just going to build it from timber, maybe the rear walls can be covered with roofing tin as they wont be seen. If all goes well i can start building this weekend.
