Update time.....

Preliminary works are continuing.

Shed permits are almost through council. Had to make a couple of small concessions wrt siting and ridge height, but no show stoppers. They've given the nod, just need final sign off.

Just about got drive access reinstated. Demolition of the blockage continues.

Have removed a 3m x 4.5m garden shed, and will break up and get rid of the slab today. Thankfully, no reo.... :cup:

Hoping to have the new shed up by the end of Feb.

Well done Geoff,

The problem with having a shed and hoist is you will now find that you are going to need some more tools, MIG welder, Plasma Cutter, Drop Saw , Pipe Bender and so on, but thems are the breaks.

Looking forward to the photos as progress moves along because ,  :worthles:

cheers and beers , duggie

Hi duggie,

Some tools may be purchased, but more because I want to, than I have to. Sometimes life's tough....... ;D ;D

Plenty of pics will be posted when there's something positive to show.
So far it's all been about access and site clearing.....nothing interesting....

 :cheers:

Much inspection of hoist...




Yea I got one off tuff lift in 2007, been pretty good so far, the only thing to go wrong was a start up capacitor letting its smoke out, got another quickly and easily. I don't lift the 200 too high on it tho, as the dodgy concretors who knew exactly what I was gonna do still made the centre of the slab a bit thin, for longer trucks like my dmax I quickly get stands underneath before work starts. I mainly put gemini's on it, 900kg is nothing compared to the trucks

Once you have one you can't go back!
