Some of you have seen this thread on Arcadefever, the server who hosted all the pics closed sep. 1. 2009 so i re-named the image path, and decided to post it here also... Enjoy
The shed in by backyard, before it all started... picture taken from my neighbour´s back garden...
The first thing to do, was to remove/destroy the concrete floor in the old shed and move it out to the parked container... 10 tons in all!!!! (22000 pounds)
And now for the plinth, it has to go 90 cm (36 inches) into the ground, but at the same time, i have to get 6 H-iron beams into the ground to support the weight of the roof..
I must say, that is quite fynny to operate a vehicle like that! - it takes some co-ordination, but i leaned it pretty fast
Here´s the foundation finished for the H-iron beames..
It´s a project that takes all summer/autumn - so i will be posting it here... i hope you enjoy
09-04-2008Today i cut of the tubes stikking out of the concrete, so when i poor the rest, it will hold the H-beams in a firm grip. I also plased some tiles in the holes between the colums, so i can begin laying the plinth in the weekend
13-04-2008My brother was here to help me with the H-beams, and this is the finisher result...
oh - and there was some spectators
18-04-2008Today the beams that will be the main structure of the roof went up, and the rest of the old shed torn down and carryed to the rubbish dump, hard work! - my back hurts
Found this little buddy in the wall, so i let him go by my hazelbush..
