Im hoping you will be running conduit from the house to the shed.

Fork out the bit of extra dollars and run 50mm conduit.

If you have a compressor dont worry about putting cables or draw wires in. Just put them in the ground glued up well.

You can pull the cables through later.

Run 16mm2 cables to the shed. Will reduce voltage drop and allow you to use more stuff easily.

Put in at least another 25mm conduit in the trench. It can be used for phone/data etc

If your budget can handle it make sure he uses seperate RCDs on the circuits.

Nothing worse than having 3 circuits on the 1 RCD then having a little fault dropping power to almost everything

Well hopefully within the month will have my new shed up, measurements are 12 x 9 x 3.6 eaves. Even have some nice Algoa pallet racking to put in there and makes it into a shelving/ workbench unit. Then after that, some new toys to fill it, mainly a new MIG, Panbrake/guillotine, bead roller, English Wheel, Lathe and Mill and Air compressor. Can't wait.

So I left Bunnings and gave my mate Evan a call. He had coated his floor in a 2 part 2pac Epoxy. After looking at his after 3 years of use I was very happy to go that way.

$500 later, I came home with this.

Acid washed the floor and get ready for paint.

Laid down 2 coats over 5 days resulting in this. (Its still wet)

Hey mate, where abouts did you get the Epoxy from?

I just need a good erection to get it up.......................Single phase, 2 poster $1880 delivered.

Note the new bit of slab. The original wasn't thick enough. I bought and drilled 2 spreader plates and was also going to tie it to the roof trusses but my "guardian angel" wasn't happy with that so new slab. ($850)

I Googled Subaru and it's Japanese for "to fly"

Still living with my parents, a drive through single garage with a single carport out the back has seen many cars since my first and not just mine either, do my best to keep it clean. A mate and I are going to go halves on renting a small industrial workshop unit near us so we can have somewhere to work properly and keep cars out of the weather.

Currently putting up a small 3 x 2.5 garden shed next to the existing one to move all seldom used but cant get rid of stuff out of the garage so its purely just tools and car related stuff. Have an electric door opener to go on the front roller and plan to use the wrong paint we bought to do the house with to paint the garage, although seeing as I'm probably going to be moving the Torana to the unit I won't be spending much time in the garage (or at home for that matter)
