More work in the Kitchen

Base Cabinets in position .... but need tweaking

Kitchen Base Cabinets have been placed in position. This was not a custom made kitchen therefore requires some tweaking to make it fit.

And now internally!

Progressive photos of setting up the Bathroom and Kitchen. Fairly self explanatory. The Kitchen was purchased off eBay for a quarter of it's value. It came out of a Custom Kitchen Manufacturer's showroom .... an absolute bargain and we can't even use all of it!

Dad only too happy to help out

Our Bathroom has a Lockable Lever Handle

The rest of our shed looking from what will be our living space

Measure twice .... cut once!

Our Wood Heater .... another Bargain at 1/4 of it's retail price .... and yes another eBay purchase

Whatever time we have off, we're at the Shed doing something. It's an absolute pleasure to be out here and its so very very quiet. The land size is fantastic too, so much space. We've met the majority of our neighbours and they are lovely. 

Spot the Difference!

Our Concrete Contractor was called back to lay some concrete paths around the Shed's perimeter. That way we will have a clean area to both walk and park on.

Laying it all out to see what works best

Prior to framing up walls to divide the Kitchen and the Bathroom, cabinets are laid out to see what measurements will work.

Our Quirky Letterbox

We always had a vision of having something completely different and unusual as a Letterbox for our property. We decided to have it cut out of Cypress Pine. We had Ash cut a tree in half, literally. We purchased a Stainless Steel Lockable Letterbox and he cut out a perfect hole for this to be installed. It weighs so much a crane had to be used to deliver it.

Approximately 50 cm of it will be below ground and set in concrete

Side profile of our Letter Box

We plan to let it weather naturally so that eventually it will be shades of Grey (not 50 just a few) and a Feature against our Cypress Pine Stained Fence.

Popped out to measure up

Today we popped out to measure walls and make a list of materials we needed to order. We are on our way to order our Plaster, Wet Board, Insulation Batts now.

Turned up for a Look .... again

Looking from our Front Boundary Crossover

A completely finished American Barn Man Shed

Our temporary residence, come future Man-Shed is complete. Had at no point mentioned the size of it. It's 12 metres in width and 10 metres in depth. Now to fit out the internals. We have a Bathroom and Kitchen to frame up, insulate, plaster, tile and paint. Not to mention having all the plumbing and electrics, roughed in, then final fit off of the Wood Heater, Panel Heater, Hot Water Service, Electric Cook Top, Toilet, Vanity, Shower Rails, Taps & Light fittings.

Just in case you're wondering how excited I am! 

Yeah appearing cool but .... deep, deep down, he's excited too!

After the internals are scrubbed down and sparkling, it's time to go home

OK, photo just to give you an idea of the size of it! 

More Walls up on the Shed and the Arrival of our Water Tank

Two days later, the Shed is coming along nicely and we have the delivery of our Water Tank. This is placed into position and as you can see there's not much room left around the perimeter of our 5 metre x 5 metre square concrete pad. The external wall colour of our Shed is ColourBond "Ironstone" and therefore we thought it best to match the Water Tank to the Shed colours.

More walls up now 

Our 31,700 litre Water Tank in position.
It took the Semi-Driver, Scott and the Shed Installer to manoeuvre into position.
The dry weight of the tank is over 500 kg.

Perfect Match, we're very happy

An American Barn Man Shed coming to life

Shed Installer Contractor has been on site for a few days now. The weather forecast will be taking a turn for the worse and what has been a lovely clean slab is destined to become black with mud from all the rain. Nothing that a little scrubbing and high pressure cleaning won't fix once it's totally complete.

Our American Barn finally taking shape with majority of frame up and the north wall standing

Electrical Cable ready for Inspection by Electrical Inspector. He will install the new Meter Box.
 Pegs are the set-out for our new Home

More homes are being built all around us. We have five neighbours all up but we're quite a distance from each other.
