Shouldnt cost to much

 

That's what tradies always say lol

[jonesy]

threw a lean too on the side of the shed needed somewhere to unwind

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

needs some insulation and an A/C for the cooling down factor in the summer months that are here...but for the moment beer will do

 

[IMORAL]

Very nice

[RallyRed]

like your style!!

[Steve TPF]

Your lean-to makes my house look like a humpy 

[LXCHEV]

Love your work Jonesy, it looks a million bucks.

Thumbs up for the black and white chequers. Another thumbs up for the Coronas!

Did you use any particularly special paints for the flooring?

[jonesy]

heavy duty paver /driveway paint from bunnings..lable says able to withstand hot tyres so should withstand the punishment

just wanted simple sweep and mop...hose if needed

G'day All

 

Now that our house has sold and we are moving into a new "old" house. I've found myself with the daunting task of converting a carport/shed/carport/carport/carport into ONE unit 

 

This pic should explain it more

 

 

And a view from the other end

 

 

AND this will also be mine, probably mancave material where  I can put my Brock/Torana/HDT/MHDT/Firth stuff or as my missus would probably call that building, Barry's dog-house  

 

 

AND this little house is for visitors 

 

 

OK, so it ain't no u-beaut garage but it is what I have to modify/manipulate/create into something that will suit me

 

RegardSS ...... Barry

 

PS

 

Pics of the 4-bedroom house exterior

 

 

Just love verandahs like this

 

 

 

BBQ of course

 

 

That over-grown bush is hiding most of the carport/shed/carport/carport/carport

Might need a spirit level for the out house? or the photographers got one short leg?

[RallyRed]

Plenty of places to hide there... when the missus is handing out jobs!!

[Pop's-SS]

  Both, the dunny is on a lean and yes, my right leg is shorter than the left after a car accident in 1969

 

No wonder people are always asking me "are you on the level Barry?"

 

And definitely a lot of places to hide when need be 

 

BUT the list of jobs is one I cannot hide from as the missus will be there cracking the whip

fabulous neil

i,ll have to stop by and check out your handywork mate

secondly

i firmly believe that personally you can just get 

the most satisfaction iin life by helping out someone who you hardly know

and on that occasion i got to put some faces to members of this forum that otherwise would generally remain invisible

was a great time and when i visit i,ll have a good supply of roundup

as i never ever want to see another japanese pepper tree

p.s 

make sure that the other dave

the hoourary one (potta)

hasn,t got a slingshot and some japanese pepper tree seeds

or give him back his frigin cat!!!!

hopefully the guys in NSW can come through and help out!

[Bigfella237]

That would be a lot easier if he didn't live in the middle of nowhere!

[dattoman]

That bloody cat is still here

 

The neighbour on the driveway side has removed his 3 big tress that were causing me grief too

I can see the hills now

And much less mess

Once I tidy the place up abit

[Pop's-SS]

That would be a lot easier if he didn't live in the middle of nowhere!

 

I suppose to some, Cootamundra is in the middle of nowhere but I do have one little helper and I guess I will just slowly hack away at it

 

Well maybe not so slowly when I borrow a chainsaw from my son or my father in law

 

It will get done, just will take some time

Put on a BBQ Pops

The one there needs a bit of TLC 

 

 

BUT I might at some stage build another at the back of that one like the one I built here

 

 

And put all of my old farm stuff in it

 

 

Including Stuffy and his kennel

G'day All

 

Slow progress on the shed build but legally we are not suppose move in till 18/19 April

 

But I am thankful that the now ex-owner has let me do a bit of work on the shed as well as store stuff there

 

This is the first wall to go up

 

 

Today I did a bit of work on my "old" shed at my "old" place, dismantling the loft that I stored some of my Torana parts on

 

Before 

 

After loft dismantled

 

 

Starting to look MT

G'day All

 

Got stuck into the overgrowth on the back of the shed, this is what it use to look like 

 

 

AND now 

 

 

Took a few hours to cut through the tangled overgrowth and we were even helped by the previous owner who doesn't move out till 18 April 

 

Even found a place for Stuffy, our pet dog

 

 

AND he looked quite happy just to sit there with his ball and watch us work our guts out

 

 

Where Stuffy's kennel is, there was another of those overgrown useless bloody climbers

 

A huge amount of cutting back and trimming and in some instances, get rid of like above of the 10 years of neglect by the previous people who rented the house

 

RegardSS .... Barry

I did over do it and today feeling it OUCH, my poor old bod

 

The box trailer was packed to the gills and I stomped on it to flatten it down, the branches cut shorter to compact down, 2 very big loads to the tip with a total bill of $18 

 

Yes, it is an original Hills Hoist and yes, I can remember swinging on the one we had when I was a widdle kiddie at Port Kembla and remember the whack across the back-side for doing it 

 

Catch up at the Fest mate

[Pop's-SS]

G'day All

 

Well the BIG move will be upon me in only 3 days but for the kindness of the now previous owner, he as allowed me to put things in the shed and my "mancave"

 

I have been moving the greenery and the last to go over to the new place is "Torana-man"

 

Loaded him up in the box trailer and now he is enjoying the NEW scenery of our new place

 

 

You may have noticed I have given him a modern hair cut, a Mowhawk
