My new shed - part 4

Posted by Owen on Jun 22nd, 2009

Well now that you’ve had a few days to look at the previous photos, I will give you a bit more eye candy. But before I do, I do want to acknowledge the person who was responsible for organising the labour and materials to turn my vision into a reality, so a big thank you Mick (and Katrina) from Mitty & Price Builders who has not only worked on our house and the renovation but has become our good friends at the same time.

So now for some photos and details, so basically without drawing the whole thing up, I wanted to have a window a door and a skillion roof and have the shed clad in the same material as the house so that it could provide some consistency in the back yard. So Mick took my specifications and put it into action…

I’m sure you’re still noticing the new piles of dirt forming in the backyard again.

How exciting it was to see it finally taking shape.

The next part was the cladding. This cladding isn’t the weatherboard cladding that you see on the old houses made from timber. This is cement sheet in the form of cladding and has very good thermal properties but also lasts a lot longer than timber weather boards where this does not need the same treatment as its timber counterpart.

Ok now there was going to be a bit of a wait for the window which also was to be a match with the windows of the house and of course the roofing needed to be done. I think from one of the photos above I have already started moving in… Now where to put the bed…?

Now I’ll have to find some more photos showing the next stages.
