Such a gorgeous book - each shed is unique and inspiring, and I love all the tiny details Kotite features to help readers imagine how to create their own She Sheds th-cam.com/users/postUgkxe9yi0sulKgsp0VJJCIrLWWkvVqcU7LFR .

As a truck driver, I get the manager to check all the pieces individually just before they are sent out on the truck after its loaded. I warn him before hand I want all the pieces or don't send it. Its always good to get the truck driver to check his passenger seat floor for items that were small or in small packages. They aren't meant to put them there in the cabin but its safer than having them fly off the truck at some point or put them in a truck box never to be pulled out again.
Thats a great job you did, looks nice, bought back memories of a similar shed (10x12x2.7) that I built single handed with the help of a similar sized tractor with front bucket, I just started with by digging the post holes and then pored footings for each post to stand on, once I had the skeleton complete, I boxed of the bottom of the exterior wall and then poured the slab so that my walls were sealed at the bottom, I covered the frame with chicken wire and then added building blanket insulation to all walls and roof before adding the outer walls and roof. I only worked on my shed in my spare time which amounted to about 4 days each month and took 2 years to complete,
There's nothing better than your spouse helping you and getting involved. You are a lucky man, Scott! What a project! I love the area and it's surrounding. That Yanmar tractor is awesome!
I like the rain catching tank idea. I have an idea, strap a nylon stocking on the end of the pipe, just before it enters the tank. It will capture most of the debries before it enters the tank and it's easy to clean or replace.
Thanks Bill! I will be installing a First Flush Diverter next time I am up. All the dust and dirt is collected at the first rain spill and tapped off, leaving clean water for the tank.
Putting a strainer-like device at the gutter end of the pipe would be better. Better still, put leaf screens on the gutters. Maybe still use the stocking, to catch anything that makes it thru the screens.
As a Brit having a tea break and a biscuit to dunk is essential. Just found your video and love watching the build process. Well done. It would make an amazing artist studio for us. 🤗🤗
You and your wife work amazingly together, your father in law loves you alot, your an amazing man with great support 🍻you and your wife have a wonerful future together. Keep up the great work. 👍🍻
You have joined the hallowed ‘Shedulencia’. You’re one of those enlightened by the true power of the Shed! Be careful your wife doesn’t become a Shed-Widow & your children Shed-Orphans. Great build, good to see your progress! All the very best!
Thank you for the content. In my opinion, after sales is as important as the quality of the product, unless there's a price differentiation with a competing product from a different seller. The seller should be grateful that you did not disclose their name, I certainly would not have been as generous. Cheers
I totally agree woth you. He spent a considerable amount of cheddar on that kit and every piece should have been accounted for. The fact they told him it was there after he already looked and then called adds insult to injury. Obviously it's not in the kit if he was calling about it. I'd put their name and number on blast for how they did him if it was me.
Scott. I’m not sure how your video arrived in my TH-cam feed but I’m so glad it did. I did not skip a second. You had me hooked. Judy, you are amazing. Well done to both of you. And Michael too.
Wow, Scott! After watching you and the family put that shed up I had to have a cold one. Whew! I am truly impressed at your patience with the shed company and your perseverance to get the job done. Thanks for taking us along for the ride. Can't wait for the cottage build. Cheers! 👍
You did a good job on the building and the video. My wife and I built our house many years ago. She fell and hit her head. We were 41, had been married 14 years and had given up on having kids. The fall shook something loose and she got pregnant. You never know what is going to happen when you're building something. I like your solar panels and rain barrel. Consider adding a wind generator to your system. Also, look at wood gasifiers to power a generator. Good Luck, Rick
Well done scott and team :) Just a suggestion on your gutter drop . Several gutter guys ( owners) taught me this method. Mount the drop on the bottom side of the gutter , instead of the standard method. Plus you can cut the opening 3/8" smaller , slowly bend that metal downward to form a 3/8 collar . why do this method. Well as the gutter fills and pushes downward ( water weight) on your top mounted drop seal. The down spot is holding its upward "fixed " vertical position. Mounting the drop on the bottom , allows the Union to go up and down as a unit . Consider screwing your stainless screws tip side down , the round head is unlikely to catch any leaves around the drop collar vs the threads pointing upwards. just a tip to consider on the next gutter job. Great start to finish video . Not an easy project , but your patience and helpers , it turned out beautiful !!!
Been there, done that, I put up a 20mx7mt Titan shed as a small house, it also had a 3mt wide verandah down the full length of it, took me months on my own just doing it on weekends, it wasn't clad with roofing sheets, it looked more like chamfer boards, fitted horizontally, don't think I'd care to take it on again, I also fully lined the inside, added a bathroom and 3 bedrooms, took me a year all up. Well done to you and the wife.
We built the same shed but 3.66 walls and 10X20 with a 3M veranda. I did it mostly myself with help from the wife and son. We got our delivery 12 months ago and finished the roof just after Christmas. We are now working on the lining. My son also got one from the same people 7x10. He is lining his now as well. For the frames we used 2 people to lift each frame while a third person to .tighten/put in the bolts. It was just manageable with 2 people. We are so happy with ours. I could have done with this video before we started. There was a lot to work out but we got there in the end.
Thanks for the comment John. That's one heck of a lift with 2 people. I bet you're glad that is behind you now. Very glad you are happy, as I am despite the set back. All the best John and thanks again.
That was impressive, Scott. Great job getting that done in the short time you did. It looks like your wife and father in law helped get you through the more challenging parts, but you put in a lot of sweat equity on your own, and your attention to detail paid huge dividends the way everything came together. I am looking forward to how you organize the space.
Thank you Scott. That brought back so many memories for me. When I built my "MAN SHED" at Bushland Beach it was 17.5 x 7 (5 bays). That shed is what sold my house when I moved to Jensen. Your attention to detail is to be commended. What an inspiration. I want to build another shed!! Currently working on concreting the pads for my two 12m x 6m igloos (12m HC container between each igloo). One bay at a time.... 2.2m3 of concrete per bay. Now you send the rain down to us ..... Ten inches in one night and now it is starting again. Have to finish the concrete by mid June ..... my twin brother is coming up from down South to celebrate our 80th. You are invited ...... on the 18th.
Hi Malcolm! Apart from the problem parts I really enjoyed the process. I tried hard to find every millimetre to get as square as possible. I think it makes all the difference when it's all done and you know you did your best. Happy 80th to you both!!
Thanks Scott - for showing us the build of your shed from start to finish - the end result justifies all the hard work including the occasional frustration with parts and dealing with mother nature along the journey !!
So excited to follow along on this adventure with you and the family, Scott! Can't wait to see the new shop fully outfitted and ready for projects! Cheers!
Well Done Scott. Including Your help from Judy and your Father in-law. 👍 It was a lot of hard work I must say but it was inspiring to watch your Construction Journey as it illustrated to my wife and I that with a good plan and dedication, patience and discipline, achieving a desired outcome is always possible. Thankyou for sharing and disclosing handy hints on how to overcome difficult lifting application and working height stand assistance means. 👌
Wowee what an amazing job, well done! The time taken to get everything as precise was really awesome to see, truly. I wish I had the patience and smarts to complete such a build myself. The take away from watching this for me was I need a friend like you or hire you for my shed build!
Great job on the shed and car port. wow, the rain, lots of rain. with out it you would had it done in a week. Great video. Can't wait for the cottage build. Thanks again.
Was sorry to see Judy leave, but glad your father-in-law showed up. I have never seen less than 4 and as many as 8 individuals build one of these structures. You primarily building this by yourself is an outstanding accomplishment. The issue with the distributor, well, you figured that out for yourself, which is what most people do when they have that type of lack of engagement. It is an amazing building, congratulations!!!
Hi Scott, I honestly watched all the way through and learned a few tricks from you.thoroughly enjoyed your work and skills mate.hope you got a cold beer and enjoyed hearing the rain filling up the tank like I did.all the very best.I’m off to see what else you have been up to.
Looks wonderful! You and the Mrs. make at great constrution team. Making that platform to work from was a great idea although it did make my knees hurt from just looking at it. I spent two summer seasons doing conservation work on the Magnus Cathedral on Faroe Islands. Walking up and down the scaffolding stairs with its large stair spacing permanently knackered my knees.
Thanks Michael! Yes I got some great help in the project. The workstand was miles better than ladders I figured. Couldn't afford a Scissor lift for the duration of the project. Yes the knees don't like the climbing over and over. I reckon I went up and down a million times : )
Thank you , thank you so much for screwing the metal down on the caps and not the valleys. :) In america the silly installers 99% of the time screw roofs down in the valley, because the "warranty" of the metal . Not understanding they have zero warranty on the screw gaskets , which is the failure point down the road. You got me as a subscriber. thanks for your efforts to teach and share.
What a fantastic work space this will be for you, Scott! Kudos to you for pressing on to maintain forward motion. That's the name of the game in construction! Also, I love those tractor ballast weights...Jimmy may need another poster that reads, "If it works, it's right!" All the best, Andrew
Thanks Andrew! Yep had to keep moving, too many wheels in motion to come to a stop. Haha, ah the ballast, you eagle eye you : ) Yes there was a sketchy moment that we thought ballast might be wise. Jimmy would make the poster and it would be awesome. Thanks again and all the best!
I have to take my hat off to you and you wife doing all that work . Im sure it will be a great place when you are all done. I loved the innovate attachment to your tractor. Great work
Looks like an amazing start to the project. Hard work for sure, but a little sweat equity always make the project completions that much sweeter. Thanks as always for bringing us along, Scott! Also, good to know those Australian dogs have the eyes for human food as well (19:00). 😂😂😂
@@sarsoar This much chocolate(it's just coated) with a dog this size is really not a concern. Dogs get exponentially more tolerant to chocolate as their size increases, minus the severe lack of nutrition; the inherent danger of feeding a dog chocolate is not all it's shaken up to be. Consider the unending stories of dogs eating boxes(we're talking KGs) of chocolate without much more than an upset stomach and the widespread fears obviously lose a fair bit of stock. Not recommending anyone feeds their dog chocolate, much like with humans there really is no merit to consuming chocolate in general, however, as a treat now and again, it's not to be feared with such vehemency. It's also worth noting that certain breeds are especially sensitive to any dietary mismanagement, so it's always best to talk to a vet if you're unsure. Sorry for the necro-post, just don't want anyone to feel like any level of chocolate consumption is indicated with worse outcomes.
Fantastic seeing the tree change coming to fruition. I missed a few videos (despite the "bell", TH-cam algorithms?!?), but the benefit is I able to binge watch the backlog! Once your setup, no suburban noise restrictions to slow you up. Goodluck
Scott, thanks very much for making that video. I know the camera work and editing add a lot to the work load. I intend to build a smaller shed, but of similar construction in the not too distant future and your video provided a huge amount of useful info for me that has been hard to find. I'd certainly appreciate a "lessons learned" video, like you mentioned in one of the other comments. I was surprised to see the fly bracing between the vertical columns and the horizontals. I would have thought the bolts alone would have been sufficient. When you were raising the frames you pivoted them in the upper hole in the floor bracket and the lower hole in the pillar, then, once vertical, dropped them down a hole. Was that because pivoting them in the lower hole was impossible due to interference on the corner during rotation? What prevented pivoting in the upper hole in both bracket and pillar? Hope that makes sense.
Thanks Andrew. Glad the video is useful. I thought the same a about the fly bracing, but it is cyclone rated, albeit not the big cyclones like the coast.
Like a giant Meccano set! Seems to be such a common thing these days, Scott. Suppliers who can't "supply" and then blaming everything on COVID or some other reason, instead of just admitting that they stuffed up the order, and then expecting the customer to wait some ridiculous amount of time for a part that should have been included in the first place. I'm inclined to think that the shed supplier will see this video and attempt some type of recompense for you. Anyhow, well done the three of you! I'm sure you'll enjoy many years of fun in the shed (and produce more great videos!) Good on you.
Thanks John! I told my supplier contact I understand that problems occur and asked for some help to get to a solution. That was outside of their ability to think outside the square I suspect. On the flip side, It's great people out there with no skin in the game are still happy to help you (Eclipse Fab).
Hello fellow tablelands resident here, this video has been fantastic to watch with our own shed building project coming up, THANK YOU. We had the same problem with missing parts, a whole pallet of all the bolts, screws, footings and apex fasteners. Took nearly 3 months to even get a hold of the company. So you are not alone with that predicament.
The shed supplier clearly deserves a FYVM (like "thank you very much", but, well, the other way around). They probably went defensive with "Did you check all parts against the packing list immediately upon taking delivery?", didn't they?
Nice to have you back mate. You and your lass deserve a medal, I've seen a gang of six "erectors" struggle to do what you two did. Take your time mate and do what you always do, get it right. 👍🇬🇧👍
Mr Turner , i will sing your and your wife's praises from the highest hill ( i live on the flats heheheheh) mate you never cease to impress me , thank you for the vid again a job well done to all 3 of you
Just came across your channel. Love your shed. My plan in 3-5 years is to buy 2 - 5 acres and build a big shed to do my woodworking in away from neighbours being so close. Look forward to watching your other videos.❤❤❤
Hello, I am very glad that you have a large workshop. Looking forward to huge projects. Greetings from Russia, I have been watching your work for a long time.
Scott what a task! it's a joy to see your dexterity and ability to assemble the shed!!! your wife must be proud to have a nice guy like you!!! it's so much fun to see you dancing and celebrating every effort made!!! Awesome! Big hug bro!
Awesome build! This is what will make the remaining construction more organized, secure and efficient. Mrs Turner is quite the helper! Can't wait to see more of the journey. Thanks!
Well it looks to me like you used those 22 days in the delay quite well. In the end, I think I would have been a little grateful for the delay. You were able to take your time with that layout on the slab. I think precision like that always pays dividends but it's so hard to justify when all the rest of the project is just sitting there out in the open waiting to be erected. Great build!!!! Greetings from Texas...John B....Retired Builder.
You're such a legend mate. Your persistence, resilience, and general attitude to life is the epitome of what it is to be Australian. Looking forward to seeing how you go mate! All the best from Adelaide
Great job! Wife and I assembled a somewhat smaller kit a few months ago, from the same supplier (starts with Wide). Similar after sales issues over faulty garage doors, but hey - will be finally meeting them in person soon, in court. Apart from that the kit is good quality. We also used anticon in the roof, and a skylight made of BAL-rated fibreglass. Custom orb profile, which required tighter purlin spacing. We didn’t have a tractor, but were able to pivot the portals up by hand, barely… Same squaring method and laser alignment too.
Sorry to hear you had problems you had to take to court, that's major! I heard of a guy that had problems up in the Tablelands - the kit (from the same) stayed unbuilt for three years sitting in a paddock until the mob came good. The tractor was a huge help. My back would have folded in half. All the best!
You really have to be proud of yourselves Pal. You and Judy have done a great job. You cannot go wrong with an extra pair of hands in any job. It seems to be most of the time that guy that is in the middle of the manufacturer and the purchaser that lets you down who dosen't care or understand Customer Service.. As it turned out you found local people who will go far and beyond to help you get things sorted. Well done to them..
Bundaberg 16:35 ! I discovered them on my visit to Australia during a rest stop between Uluru and Alice Springs. I have been a fan ever since and treat myself to them on occasion. They are a bit pricey being an import here in the U.S.A but they are worth it. Lucky for me my wife doesn't care for them, too much of a kick for her. Bundaberg is no poor excuse for a ginger ale, it has become my favorite softdrink. We loved our stay in Australia, truly made some good memories. Nice build by the way and g'day to you and your missus!
great job building it yourself. i had a year long drama with my shed build, from a reputable shed maker, slab was un even and they didnt do the drop off for carport, now all rain floods garage, parts missing, we ended up pay double for the parts, zero support from the maker. i know now what to do and will definitely be more hands on next time
Sorry to hear you had trouble. I know the disappointment. Maybe a bead of Sikaflex on the sheets on the carport end will help keep the water out. Thank you!
Hey Scott great work on the shed. Your wife said, I only passed stuff, but she did a lot more than that as you realised when she left. They don’t know how much they help, even if they are just ‘passing stuff’. You’ll appreciate that roof height in summer for sure. I have a 9 metre shed that is only 2.4 to the gutter and I built an adjoining 7.5 metre shed that is 3.3 metres to the gutter. I have a sliding glass door between the two and you can easily feel the temperature difference as you walk through the door from the old shed to the new shed. I have to admit the insulation they make these days is so much better though. I live in the town that makes those beautiful drinks that you like as well as that rum so we have it a bit cooler here. Thanks for making the video. I always look forward to watching them. Excellent picture quality by the way. Cheers Peter
Thank you for your comment Peter! Having worked in my old shed for years with no insulation, I insisted that this one has the roof insulated. I can do the northern wall later also. A;; the best.
Good on you, mate! Love the flexibility in finding a solution when your kit provider failed you on your brackets. Looks like a great build. Very tidy, clean job site. Impressed. I'll build with you any day!
Damn straight, "old fashioned hard work". Kudos. Can't believe I didn't see any bandages on your hands, handling all that sheet metal without gloves! Great presentation, I couldn't stop watching. Stumbled upon this post, liked it so much, the content, presentation and subject etc., that I subscribed with notifications. Cheers.
Happy you're back; what a great job and beautifully and usefully building. Enjoy it and provide us new videos we loved. I wish you a good day from Paris.
Потрясающая локация. Творить под пение птиц и шелест листвы очень вдохновляет. Всей душой рад за тебя и желаю создать самую удобную и продуманную мастерскую! Поздравляю!
Can't believe I missed these vids. Glad I caught up, though. The building looks fantastic. I knew there'd be problems simply because that's how things go with metric things. Imperial Forever! I'll be real curious to see what you come up with next. A building that size will make for a dandy workshop!
I don’t even know you but I’m still proud of you mate ! My wife and I will be doing the same process very soon and I’m crapping myself.. very similar sized shed…. If you want to fly over to W.A. and give me a hand I won’t say no !!!
This brings back fond memories of building our shed on our bush block. First cup of billy tea over an open fire, first drops of rainwater in the tank and the sweet feeling of a roof over our heads. The little Yanmar has paid for itself already.
Those are great moments and I'm glad to hear you enjoyed them as I did. That little tractor is gold! it has done a heap of work on the property already. Thanks again Mark.
In the end you have a very nice building. I can only imagine your frustration dealing with the supplier, and you showed remarkable restraint by not mentioning their name.
Hi Scott from Suffolk England. Really enjoyed the video. Dead jealous. My Victorian semi house would fit in side your "shed"..............................................twice..😭
Awesome watching you build the shed. One thing I learned on a garden shed I built with tin sheeting is that the cuts from the angle grinder start to rust much faster than the one done with tin snips or a nibbler. Could be worth sealing those exposed cuts with some kind of paint or something.
Fish-oil compound is inexpensive, seals the metal against any rain or condensation and lasts just about forever. Def needs sealing though, whatever you use.

Thank you Livin da life! Yes I am lucky indeed! That little tractor is so helpful. I'm really glad I got it.
The part that I loved the most was the gutter completion. Watching rainwater start to flow into the huge rain barrel is so satisfying and practical!
It all came together at that point. Great feeling collecting rain water. Thank you!
I like the rain catching tank idea. I have an idea, strap a nylon stocking on the end of the pipe, just before it enters the tank. It will capture most of the debries before it enters the tank and it's easy to clean or replace.

Putting a strainer-like device at the gutter end of the pipe would be better. Better still, put leaf screens on the gutters. Maybe still use the stocking, to catch anything that makes it thru the screens.
And if it is not emptied often, it will all end up in the tank anyway 😇

Turning tiny little tractor in a handy little crane by building a mast with a winch from a boat trailer is really great. Very well done Aussies👍😎🇩🇪
Thankyou Michael!!
Man I’ve never seen anyone be that precise with a shed construction and would expect nothing less 😁 Great Work!
Thanks Dan!
Thanks Scott - for showing us the build of your shed from start to finish - the end result justifies all the hard work including the occasional frustration with parts and dealing with mother nature along the journey !!
Thank you Mike! Yes hard work but well worth it.
So excited to follow along on this adventure with you and the family, Scott! Can't wait to see the new shop fully outfitted and ready for projects! Cheers!
Thank you for following along! I have a few jobs to do then it's the cabin build.
Well Done Scott. Including Your help from Judy and your Father in-law. 👍 It was a lot of hard work I must say but it was inspiring to watch your Construction Journey as it illustrated to my wife and I that with a good plan and dedication, patience and discipline, achieving a desired outcome is always possible. Thankyou for sharing and disclosing handy hints on how to overcome difficult lifting application and working height stand assistance means. 👌
Wowee what an amazing job, well done! The time taken to get everything as precise was really awesome to see, truly. I wish I had the patience and smarts to complete such a build myself.
The take away from watching this for me was I need a friend like you or hire you for my shed build!
Huge thanks Cooper! Yes a friend to give a hand or provide advice can make all the difference.
Great job on the shed and car port. wow, the rain, lots of rain. with out it you would had it done in a week. Great video. Can't wait for the cottage build. Thanks again.
Was sorry to see Judy leave, but glad your father-in-law showed up.
I have never seen less than 4 and as many as 8 individuals build one of these structures. You primarily building this by yourself is an outstanding accomplishment.
The issue with the distributor, well, you figured that out for yourself, which is what most people do when they have that type of lack of engagement.
It is an amazing building, congratulations!!!
I had some great help indeed. I got much fitter during the process : )
Thank you Vincent!
Hi Scott, I honestly watched all the way through and learned a few tricks from you.thoroughly enjoyed your work and skills mate.hope you got a cold beer and enjoyed hearing the rain filling up the tank like I did.all the very best.I’m off to see what else you have been up to.
Thanks Roy. Sure did enjoy a beer :)
Looks wonderful! You and the Mrs. make at great constrution team.
Making that platform to work from was a great idea although it did make my knees hurt from just looking at it. I spent two summer seasons doing conservation work on the Magnus Cathedral on Faroe Islands. Walking up and down the scaffolding stairs with its large stair spacing permanently knackered my knees.
Thanks Michael! Yes I got some great help in the project. The workstand was miles better than ladders I figured. Couldn't afford a Scissor lift for the duration of the project. Yes the knees don't like the climbing over and over. I reckon I went up and down a million times : )
Thank you , thank you so much for screwing the metal down on the caps and not the valleys. :) In america the silly installers 99% of the time screw roofs down in the valley, because the "warranty" of the metal . Not understanding they have zero warranty on the screw gaskets , which is the failure point down the road. You got me as a subscriber. thanks for your efforts to teach and share.
Thanks William for the comment and Sub! Yes I have watched a number US builds attaching via the valleys (Roofing) and I never understood why.
What a fantastic work space this will be for you, Scott! Kudos to you for pressing on to maintain forward motion. That's the name of the game in construction! Also, I love those tractor ballast weights...Jimmy may need another poster that reads, "If it works, it's right!" All the best, Andrew
Thanks Andrew! Yep had to keep moving, too many wheels in motion to come to a stop. Haha, ah the ballast, you eagle eye you : ) Yes there was a sketchy moment that we thought ballast might be wise. Jimmy would make the poster and it would be awesome. Thanks again and all the best!
I have to take my hat off to you and you wife doing all that work . Im sure it will be a great place when you are all done. I loved the innovate attachment to your tractor. Great work
Thanks Bernie! Yes the Tractor was so useful, albeit had to be very careful. It all worked great.
Looks like an amazing start to the project. Hard work for sure, but a little sweat equity always make the project completions that much sweeter. Thanks as always for bringing us along, Scott! Also, good to know those Australian dogs have the eyes for human food as well (19:00). 😂😂😂
Thanks Matt. Our dog feels entitled to a bit of everything we eat. I have to sneak snacks these days!
@@ScottTurnerformeindustrious idk if you ended up feeding that to the puppy, or if it was even chocolate at all. But fyi chocolate is bad for dogs.
@@sarsoar This much chocolate(it's just coated) with a dog this size is really not a concern. Dogs get exponentially more tolerant to chocolate as their size increases, minus the severe lack of nutrition; the inherent danger of feeding a dog chocolate is not all it's shaken up to be. Consider the unending stories of dogs eating boxes(we're talking KGs) of chocolate without much more than an upset stomach and the widespread fears obviously lose a fair bit of stock. Not recommending anyone feeds their dog chocolate, much like with humans there really is no merit to consuming chocolate in general, however, as a treat now and again, it's not to be feared with such vehemency. It's also worth noting that certain breeds are especially sensitive to any dietary mismanagement, so it's always best to talk to a vet if you're unsure.
Sorry for the necro-post, just don't want anyone to feel like any level of chocolate consumption is indicated with worse outcomes.
Fantastic seeing the tree change coming to fruition. I missed a few videos (despite the "bell", TH-cam algorithms?!?), but the benefit is I able to binge watch the backlog! Once your setup, no suburban noise restrictions to slow you up. Goodluck
Huge thanks Brett!
Scott, thanks very much for making that video. I know the camera work and editing add a lot to the work load. I intend to build a smaller shed, but of similar construction in the not too distant future and your video provided a huge amount of useful info for me that has been hard to find. I'd certainly appreciate a "lessons learned" video, like you mentioned in one of the other comments.
I was surprised to see the fly bracing between the vertical columns and the horizontals. I would have thought the bolts alone would have been sufficient.
When you were raising the frames you pivoted them in the upper hole in the floor bracket and the lower hole in the pillar, then, once vertical, dropped them down a hole. Was that because pivoting them in the lower hole was impossible due to interference on the corner during rotation? What prevented pivoting in the upper hole in both bracket and pillar? Hope that makes sense.
Thanks Andrew. Glad the video is useful. I thought the same a about the fly bracing, but it is cyclone rated, albeit not the big cyclones like the coast.
Like a giant Meccano set! Seems to be such a common thing these days, Scott. Suppliers who can't "supply" and then blaming everything on COVID or some other reason, instead of just admitting that they stuffed up the order, and then expecting the customer to wait some ridiculous amount of time for a part that should have been included in the first place. I'm inclined to think that the shed supplier will see this video and attempt some type of recompense for you. Anyhow, well done the three of you! I'm sure you'll enjoy many years of fun in the shed (and produce more great videos!) Good on you.
Thanks John! I told my supplier contact I understand that problems occur and asked for some help to get to a solution. That was outside of their ability to think outside the square I suspect. On the flip side, It's great people out there with no skin in the game are still happy to help you (Eclipse Fab).
Looks great
Thank you!
Hello fellow tablelands resident here, this video has been fantastic to watch with our own shed building project coming up, THANK YOU. We had the same problem with missing parts, a whole pallet of all the bolts, screws, footings and apex fasteners. Took nearly 3 months to even get a hold of the company. So you are not alone with that predicament.
Hi Bonnie. So glad you like the video! Sorry to hear of the problems. It sounds very common. All the best.
The shed supplier clearly deserves a FYVM (like "thank you very much", but, well, the other way around). They probably went defensive with "Did you check all parts against the packing list immediately upon taking delivery?", didn't they?
Agreed! That they did.
Right off the bat:
I would have never thought to use an air mattress pump like that. Brilliant!
Thank you Steven! It worked really well too.
Good work, awsome job. Now thr bride can come back and you can get a feed.
My cooking is a bit s&%t :)
Nice to have you back mate. You and your lass deserve a medal, I've seen a gang of six "erectors" struggle to do what you two did. Take your time mate and do what you always do, get it right. 👍🇬🇧👍
Thanks Tony! I had a good crew : ) they were patient with me chasing every millimetre I could.
I feel your frustration Scott. You and the family have begun the journey. Your own piece of paradise. Great job!
Thanks Simon! Yep, it's a good launch pad for all the other work.
Bonjour Scott toujours avec un grand régal de vous suivre dans de nouvelles aventures 💪🏗🏗🏗
Merci Dominique!!
I appreciate your tenacity in completing it. Well done
Mr Turner , i will sing your and your wife's praises from the highest hill ( i live on the flats heheheheh) mate you never cease to impress me , thank you for the vid again a job well done to all 3 of you
Thanks again for your kid words and encouragement : )
Just came across your channel. Love your shed. My plan in 3-5 years is to buy 2 - 5 acres and build a big shed to do my woodworking in away from neighbours being so close. Look forward to watching your other videos.❤❤❤
Thank you Cathy! It is a good life - all the best.
Hello, I am very glad that you have a large workshop. Looking forward to huge projects. Greetings from Russia, I have been watching your work for a long time.
Hi Martin. Thank you for watching and support! All the best.
Scott what a task! it's a joy to see your dexterity and ability to assemble the shed!!! your wife must be proud to have a nice guy like you!!! it's so much fun to see you dancing and celebrating every effort made!!! Awesome! Big hug bro!
Thanks Igor! Big Hugs!!
Mate you’ve done a great job. And having ya woman to help every step of the way is awesome.
Cheers Matt! Yes that's true.
“The measure of who we are is what we do with what we have.” Vince Lombardi. Nice job 👍
Thanks again!!
Good one!
Awesome build! This is what will make the remaining construction more organized, secure and efficient.
Mrs Turner is quite the helper! Can't wait to see more of the journey.
Thanks!
Much appreciated thank you!
Well it looks to me like you used those 22 days in the delay quite well. In the end, I think I would have been a little grateful for the delay. You were able to take your time with that layout on the slab. I think precision like that always pays dividends but it's so hard to justify when all the rest of the project is just sitting there out in the open waiting to be erected. Great build!!!! Greetings from Texas...John B....Retired Builder.
Huge thanks John!
You're such a legend mate. Your persistence, resilience, and general attitude to life is the epitome of what it is to be Australian. Looking forward to seeing how you go mate! All the best from Adelaide
Much appreciated Ben, thankyou!
Great video. A huge step completed. Many more to come. It's going to be an interesting series. Stay safe out there.
Thanks David, Yes heaps more work to follow. All the best.
Great job! Wife and I assembled a somewhat smaller kit a few months ago, from the same supplier (starts with Wide). Similar after sales issues over faulty garage doors, but hey - will be finally meeting them in person soon, in court. Apart from that the kit is good quality. We also used anticon in the roof, and a skylight made of BAL-rated fibreglass. Custom orb profile, which required tighter purlin spacing. We didn’t have a tractor, but were able to pivot the portals up by hand, barely… Same squaring method and laser alignment too.
Sorry to hear you had problems you had to take to court, that's major! I heard of a guy that had problems up in the Tablelands - the kit (from the same) stayed unbuilt for three years sitting in a paddock until the mob came good. The tractor was a huge help. My back would have folded in half. All the best!
How great it is to have a supportive wife helping out!
So good!
i enjoyed 27:45, "so i am up to the gutters now, this side.." then boom working on gutters. we can all tell how much you was looking forward to that
Yes it's a big moment. Thanks!
Bundaberg GB is my favorite which is hard to get in europe. Great build, Well done
Thanks Roger! Yes it's a nice refresher at the end of a hard day.
Hallo Scott
Schön wieder was von dir zu hören bzw sehen.
Eine tolle Halle baust du da, Respekt 👍💪
Grüße vom anderen Ende der Welt, aus Deutschland.
Hallo! Ja, es ist ein großes Gebäude. Ich freue mich darauf, in naher Zukunft von hier aus zu arbeiten.
Just had to watch it for a second time Scott. You are so methodical in your approach to whatever you do. 😊
I'm a glutton for punishment ;) Thanks Malcolm!
You really have to be proud of yourselves Pal. You and Judy have done a great job. You cannot go wrong with an extra pair of hands in any job. It seems to be most of the time that guy that is in the middle of the manufacturer and the purchaser that lets you down who dosen't care or understand Customer Service.. As it turned out you found local people who will go far and beyond to help you get things sorted. Well done to them..
Thanks Maurice. Wonderful people are out there for sure.
Bundaberg 16:35 ! I discovered them on my visit to Australia during a rest stop between Uluru and Alice Springs. I have been a fan ever since and treat myself to them on occasion. They are a bit pricey being an import here in the U.S.A but they are worth it. Lucky for me my wife doesn't care for them, too much of a kick for her. Bundaberg is no poor excuse for a ginger ale, it has become my favorite softdrink. We loved our stay in Australia, truly made some good memories. Nice build by the way and g'day to you and your missus!
Thanks again! Yes it's made in our state and it's good stuff! All the best.
You ought to try it with a dash of Bundy rum and some ice, beautiful
Always good to see you Scott. You have a heck of a lady there!
LG! Good to see you too and yes she certainly is!
Scott so chuffed to see another video from you. Hope we can get another update soon. Best wishes from the UK mate
Many thanks! Hope to get on the cottage build soon
great job building it yourself. i had a year long drama with my shed build, from a reputable shed maker, slab was un even and they didnt do the drop off for carport, now all rain floods garage, parts missing, we ended up pay double for the parts, zero support from the maker. i know now what to do and will definitely be more hands on next time
Sorry to hear you had trouble. I know the disappointment. Maybe a bead of Sikaflex on the sheets on the carport end will help keep the water out. Thank you!
Excelente trabajo, saludos desde uruguay 🇺🇾
Used to build these myself, back in the 90's. Nice job mate.
Thank you Bob!
Hey Scott great work on the shed. Your wife said, I only passed stuff, but she did a lot more than that as you realised when she left. They don’t know how much they help, even if they are just ‘passing stuff’. You’ll appreciate that roof height in summer for sure. I have a 9 metre shed that is only 2.4 to the gutter and I built an adjoining 7.5 metre shed that is 3.3 metres to the gutter. I have a sliding glass door between the two and you can easily feel the temperature difference as you walk through the door from the old shed to the new shed. I have to admit the insulation they make these days is so much better though. I live in the town that makes those beautiful drinks that you like as well as that rum so we have it a bit cooler here.
Thanks for making the video. I always look forward to watching them. Excellent picture quality by the way.
Cheers Peter
Thank you for your comment Peter! Having worked in my old shed for years with no insulation, I insisted that this one has the roof insulated. I can do the northern wall later also. A;; the best.
There is a little MacGyver in you. I love the way you improvise. Well Done
Thanks Ralph! Where there is a will there is a way.
AWESOME! Great things ahead. GOOD FOR YOU Scott..
Thank you Dave!
Well this is very exciting Scott! Your black dog is crazy laying out in the sun!!!!
Thank you! Yes she is Crazy :)
Absolutely fabulous progress! And Judy was a tremendous help. How cool 👍👍😎👍👍
Thanks Joel! Yes true! Imaluckyguy.
You did a great job!!
I've enjoyed it!!
Sincerely,
Niek, from the Netherlands.
Thank you very much!
Good build Scott. Looking forward to the future updates from the bush😀
Thanks!!
Good on you, mate! Love the flexibility in finding a solution when your kit provider failed you on your brackets. Looks like a great build. Very tidy, clean job site. Impressed. I'll build with you any day!
Huge thanks Glen!
Nice one Scott, what a great future youre carving out with your wife...looks like a beautiful spot.
Much appreciated Matt!
Watching from the United States. Impressive hard work!!
Fantastic build and job, I admire your willingness and patience, look forward to seeing what’s next……. 👍✌️
Thanks Henry!
Damn straight, "old fashioned hard work". Kudos. Can't believe I didn't see any bandages on your hands, handling all that sheet metal without gloves! Great presentation, I couldn't stop watching. Stumbled upon this post, liked it so much, the content, presentation and subject etc., that I subscribed with notifications. Cheers.
Very much appreciated Rick! I still have cuts and blisters from it :)
Great team work, enjoyed your video. 19.00🤣 Much appreciated from Lismore NSW
Thanks Walter!
Turned out nice, I would also recommend installing some ground wire and rods to the building as well!!
Outstanding build vlog. Love the building colors, looks like it will serve you well.👏👍😤
Thank you Chris! I think it will be great for future projects.
Happy you're back; what a great job and beautifully and usefully building. Enjoy it and provide us new videos we loved. I wish you a good day from Paris.
Thank you so much Olivier!
How good is that!! Brilliant thanks for taking the time to share your journey- magic - blessings
Thank you Bevan!!
Scott, that looked like a real ball buster! Glad you shared it. Nice shed!
Потрясающая локация. Творить под пение птиц и шелест листвы очень вдохновляет. Всей душой рад за тебя и желаю создать самую удобную и продуманную мастерскую! Поздравляю!
Спасибо за прекрасные слова и добрые пожелания! Все лучшее для тебя!
It's good to see you again mate. I hope things work out for you. 👍👍👍
Hey Cathy! Thanks as always!
Can't believe I missed these vids. Glad I caught up, though. The building looks fantastic. I knew there'd be problems simply because that's how things go with metric things. Imperial Forever!
I'll be real curious to see what you come up with next. A building that size will make for a dandy workshop!
Hey Vaughn! Thankyou! I'm not up there permanently yet, but we are getting things ready for the cabin build in the next few weeks. Should be fun.
@@ScottTurnerformeindustrious It's going to be a great adventure and I look forward to living vicariously through you!
I don’t even know you but I’m still proud of you mate ! My wife and I will be doing the same process very soon and I’m crapping myself.. very similar sized shed…. If you want to fly over to W.A. and give me a hand I won’t say no !!!
:) Thanks Mate! YeahNah although it would be nice to see WA again. Haven't been there since 1988. Cheers Robert!
“it’s like painting, painting sucks.” Couldn’t agree more!
This brings back fond memories of building our shed on our bush block. First cup of billy tea over an open fire, first drops of rainwater in the tank and the sweet feeling of a roof over our heads. The little Yanmar has paid for itself already.
Those are great moments and I'm glad to hear you enjoyed them as I did. That little tractor is gold! it has done a heap of work on the property already. Thanks again Mark.
In the end you have a very nice building. I can only imagine your frustration dealing with the supplier, and you showed remarkable restraint by not mentioning their name.
Thanks Wayne! Yes I admit at the time I was a bit steamed but we found a way to get the job done.
Good to see you back Scott - Looking forward to your excellent builds when you have this up and running.
Cheers Paul! Starting the cabin build very soon. Gathering bits for it now
@@ScottTurnerformeindustrious I think you need to get an old Land Rover too... Just for the full off-grid effect ;-)
Hi Scott from Suffolk England. Really enjoyed the video. Dead jealous. My Victorian semi house would fit in side your "shed"..............................................twice..😭
Thanks Fred! Twice, oh dear! Well as long as you are comfy and happy.
Awesome watching you build the shed. One thing I learned on a garden shed I built with tin sheeting is that the cuts from the angle grinder start to rust much faster than the one done with tin snips or a nibbler. Could be worth sealing those exposed cuts with some kind of paint or something.
True, I used the hand shears for a lot of it and have the blisters still to prove it. Thank you!
@@ScottTurnerformeindustrious you're right they wreck your hands pretty fast
Fish-oil compound is inexpensive, seals the metal against any rain or condensation and lasts just about forever. Def needs sealing though, whatever you use.
Killer shed mate, thanks for the video. I'll be going down the same path soon with a 12x12!
Well done to you and the wife etc for all of the hard work. I can see many hours of enjoyment spent there
Thanks Tony. We hope so.
