    Good work Andre. Always good to see someone scraping. Do you also need to do the dovetails?

    Girl, I don't wanna know about your mild-mannered alter ego or anything like that." I mean, you tell me you're, uh, super-mega-ultra-lightning babe? That's all right with me. I'm good. I'm good.

    The dovetails aren't worn and are pretty parallel. I did give them a trickle with the straight edge but I don't want to change the geometry. I was just chasing even contact.

    Default Your latest project

    Since my better half has claimed a third of our new shed and decreed that the other two thirds is for vehicles (pffft - who puts vehicles in a shed ) I've been allowed to take over the old carport for workshop space.
    Current project is to make some sliding doors to enclose the open side.
    Using Eltrak 200kg hardware, 25x25x2 duragal for frames, colorbond sheets as cladding, and a laserlite section at the top to let in some light.

    A person could have something the size of a large warehouse, and it still wouldn't be enough room.

    Agree, I had a 7x7 meter shed 3 meters high filled and a few small sheds for storage, then moved and had a 10x8 meter 3.5 meters high.

    Now I have 7x3.6x2.5 high with under house storage and a 7x7 carport, you just have to work with the space you have.
    Wife isn't getting any of my space though, lol

    Making good progress, doors are hung and clad - just all the fiddly stuff to do now like the laserlite, flashings, lock pins etc

    Mainly vehicle storage (cars and her 14' caravan), but one bay will have a small workbench so she's got her own space for a bit of hobby work etc (whatever she's into at the time).
    It will also have all the stuff that currently clutters my workshop - mowers, garden tools, house renovation and painting stuff etc. Carefully arranged so everything has its place..
    Pretty much I'll have exclusive rights to my workshop, but only be able to store stuff in "her" shed with specific permission. Apparently castration isn't out of the question if I violate the access rules
    In case the access rules relax down the track, I made sure it had a decent slab in it, and currently waiting until it warms up a bit so I can etch/paint the floor before it gets filled up with stuff....
    Its perfect candidate for having a 2 post vehicle hoist installed

    it toook me to long to learn how important it is to keep you partner happy. . seems like you understand that. ive been looking for a hoist. maybe ill put it in the front yard. i saw a tidy one today online today for $500.
    what do you mean by etch the deck? what colour would you paint it?
    i was thinking a solid timber deck ontop of the slab. would go great in the shed.

    Etch the floor - not sure where you got "deck" from
    New concrete so I'll acid etch it before painting with grey paving paint.

    Hi Steve,

    In one of the places that I had, 6000 sqft, the floor was old damp concrete. I had that floor repaired and filled where needed and then epoxy painted, the, "Colourcoat", the people that did it washed and acid etched the concrete first. I did all sorts of nasty things to that floor and it still looks like new 35 years later. Paint wouldn't have stood up as well.
    Best Regards:
    Baron J.

    Yes, epoxy would be nice - but unfortunately we had a pretty dry summer and my money tree hasn't produced so well
    My better half can't see the need for paint at all, but I've seen the difference it made in the carport with our incontinent Landrovers. Plain concrete would be putrid by now after only a few years!
