Well done Scott. Loved the old ozzie venacular ;-) I know where you are coming from..... built my 17.5 x 7 kit (with a little help) about 20 years ago. Last year I built two igloos (by myself) and then had a crane lift them to connect to the top of each side of a 40 foot HC container. Did the concrete on one side myself before I called it quits and got a pro for $1800 labour (I paid for all materials) who did a 12m x 6m slab in virtually one day. I celebrated my 80th birthday with my twin brother last Saturday so I don't think I'll be building anything so substantial again.. Thank you for all your advice. You are a wealth of true knowledge.

I wish I'd been able to get ahold of you before you started on the roofing and siding panels. There's a great way (for future reference?) to substantially reduce your metal dust from the Tek screws. Before you move your 1st sheet off of the stack, do this. Use a piece of framing lumber at least ast wide as the panels to tap then all into the tightest alignment of the ends as is possible using a sledge to hit the wood which in turn will move any sheets sticking out a mm or more back into alignment with the rest of the stack. Do this from both ends several times, if necessary. Then use a Quick clamp with plastic/rubber grips, at each end, to prevent the sheets from sliding. Once the stack is even, use a straight-edge and framing square or a drywall T-square and layout the lines where you want to drive the Tek screws. Then, use an old awl, sharpened straight punch, ice pick, whatever, and punch holes through as many layers as is reasonable on your penciled lines. You still have metal "dust" from the gerts and joists, but not the sheet metal panels. And if you can't punch all the way through, "rinse and repeat" as we say here in the US. Namaste

Hi Mark, Mate In Australia we Tek screw the peaks.... Not the valleys as to reduce water leaks unlike the practices used in the USA. Using a awl to punch the ridge bends the sheets, it is hard and time consuming to push a piece of lumber strip down every one to punch them. Just Tek them and sweep the roof off before attaching the gutter.

Good point Mark, I used to build sheds in South Australia years ago and we used to tap the sheet piles at one end with a hammer with a 4x4 inbetween to protect the sheets like you say and then measure the gert distances down the top sheet and pre drill for the tech screws. Saves heaps of work and saves swarf from scratches as well as potential rust. Scott, great vids mate, gee your face looks familiar. Im looking at moving interstate atm and then doing the same as you so im keen to follow your adventures.

Great stuff Scott. Daunting for sure but also comes with a big sense of achievement!

@@ScottTurnerformeindustrious Hey Scott, another great video thanks. I just wanted to mention a problem I had with our water in the tank from the new shed roof. Our water became harsh and after testing the PH it was 4.2. Obviously that's too low and acidic. It turned out to be bark and leaves from 2 nearby gum trees. I installed Marley leaf diverters and they do work but the main cause was the gutters sagging and then trapping water in puddles. When those puddles had gum leaves or bark in it, it sat there and stewed. Flushing pipes and water blasting the gutters has solved the problem but is a constant pain in the a**, when we are low on firewood the very messy gums will be chopped! I see you are surrounded by gums... funny that, being Australia and all!!

Hi Scott, I really enjoyed this. I've boxed up a few slabs for shed ( and even small garden sheds) ( principal is still the same/ small or large, with what I do) When I box the perimeter, I box it 50mm bigger ( 2"for US readers) . So after the main boxing is done, I fit 70mm x 25mm (not nominal off the shelf size but I do or use whatever to get down to about 25mm, because the wall sheets profile measurs about 17mm ish to all perimeter boxing. ( stop and starts at roller doors It's fitted flush with the top of the boxing. This is so the outside wall sheets, sit on a ledge. It looks neater and keeps mice out ( apart from the fact that mice can probably find a way in at the roller doors). Concretors do a good job of place and finish, but not so good ( I'm talking tweaking a slab) on the boxing design. For the roller door , I add some extra boxing so the door recesses down below floor level / probably to outside path/ driveway level approx 30mm below floor level . This helps keep out rain.

I don't think it's a one size fits all scenario. A big tip though is to look at environmental overlays. Some rural land may have zones that prohibit any development and you would be buying the land purely for conservation purposes. It nearly happened to us because the land we looked at initially had a Red Throated Finch spotted on it, therefor we couldn't build on it. I think you are permitted to clear trees for a dwelling or building. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

If you're looking at shed builders, a good price estimate is it should cost approx 30% of the shed flat pack price. Noting that finding a shed builder (let alone a good one!) is very difficult currently!!! Also note best sheds use a different steel (and don't use colorbond) so it's more like 50% of the flat pack price

Hey Robin! On my licence application I included 3 buildings. You don't have to have all the plans but you have to briefly describe the basic construction of each; i.e. steel portal framed shed (size). But if you don't include it in your initial application then I think it's very hard to do retrospectively. The licence lasts for 6 years.

G’day Robin (and Scott). Last year I researched the owner-builder scenario in a NSW council area. I found that the council would accept only one development application from an individual owner-builder in any five-year period. So if you wanted to do several buildings on one property, they would have to all be approved at the outset in the DA. Another way of looking at it is that while the owner-builder permit is issued by the state government, all the building work is council-controlled. Of course, the rules in each state and council may be different.

Is that roof insulation serving you well during the summer ? I also noticed you didn't insulate the walls either. Must get pretty hot in there right ?

The roof insulation works well and it does need wall insulation. I should have put it in. Also the skylights let in a lot of heat energy. I'd rather not have them in summer. Winter everything is perfect. Yes it can get warm in there when all the doors are shut. Doors open it cools down pretty well.

@@ScottTurnerformeindustrious I'm still trying to figure out which way to go with mine. I want to use Anticon blanket for the roof to negate the rain noise but I also want it to keep the heat out. Some use that air cell stuff, but it doesn't insulate for noise all that well. Anticon blanket resists noise but not so much heat as it's only an R 1.3 for the 60mm. I'd like to use 100mm if I can get it to compress enough under the sheets. I'd definitely use the air cell stuff for the walls though. I'm going to give Bradford a call and see what they recommend. I don't want to have to do a retro fit if I can help it.

Great stuff, long time no talk, what's happened to the makers group, it seems to have gone dormant, or is that just me? I'm extending my workshop at present to house a heap of new tools, WRT accuracy I posted this recently on FB. "In general with this sort of work I aim for millimeter accuracy, aren't too unhappy with centimeter accuracy, and eventually live with inch accuracy 😁"

I love you quote :) The Maker Group, not sure? For me being in the bush a lot these day I have very poor internet (Regular Posts). I'll have to sort that out soon. Cheers!

If you would suggest investing in one significant piece of equipment given your other shed build as well what would it be? And you could keep it of sell it at the end.

Good question; A Workstand or mobile scaffolding that allows you to reach safely all parts of the build. This will save you $$ on hiring a scissor lift apart from perhaps a couple of days. Lifting the frames you either have a lot of help or hire a machine. Roofing with insulation is tough work without a scissor lift but it can be done. I made my own work stand and I'm glad I did. I've kept it and used it plenty of times for various projects, but it can be sold once I no longer need it.

Thanks for the video. I have a bad back and a problem with heights so I will not be building my own but you are correct. The erection costs are significant. Your erection costs might have been so high due to the location. Closer to a major city is not as extreme. I found your insights very interesting.

Hey Scott. Where did you source your windows from?

@ScottTurnerformeindustrious

For the Shed House? (Shed/ workshop has no windows). The Windows for the Shed House came as part of the Shed Kit from Wayne Laverty Quality Sheds NQ.

Scott, how do I create a seal inside the outer edges? The gaps are insane.

@ScottTurnerformeindustrious

I used a product called Vermiseal. It closes off the gap from the sheeting to the slab. I had to put this in later as my wall sheets were cut a fraction too long.

@@ScottTurnerformeindustrious I'd seen ages ago they had been spreading it up near herveys range lookout.

I have just completed a 150 square metre shed earlier this year. I like your videos however in this case I think you are over estimating how much you save by building it yourself. I got the impression you reckon you saved $30K-$40K by building it yourself. I am locatated on the NSW Mid North Coast. Your cost for the concrete slab was almost identical to mine on a per square metre basis (assuming you went 40mpa and 125mm thick) . My Shed kit was $34,500 and it is 4 metres at the gutters and roughly 5 metres at the top. The shed company told me at the outset that the cost for them to put it up was very roughly about one third of what ever kit I went with. At the end of the day they charged me $11K, which included the hire of a heavy duty diesel scissor lift for a week and a few hours hire of a truck crane to stand the frames. The bloke that put it up had his wife with him and a young bloke helping him. He also had a older smaller electric scissor lift. We were interupted by wet weather quite a bit but it took them 5-6 days to get it up, not counting downtime due to wet weather. I get the fact that you can get enormous satisfaction by putting up yourself and that you didn't have a job to go to so there was not opportunity cost to you, but for mine sometimes there is real value in getting proffessionals to do the job, as they have the experience and know-how, with all the tips and tricks you can only get by doing something over and over. I sealed my slab with a clear sealer and if I was doing it again I would go with a coloured sealer like you did just because a coloured sealer would hide a few more of the imperfection and marks on the slab. A tip I would give anyone who is going to build a shed is build the biggest shed you can, even if you think it will be way too big, trust me it won't be. No one has ever said "gee, I wish I built a smaller shed."

Thanks for your feedback and sharing your experience. Slab was 100mm but a bit more on the sides but I cannot remember the MPA right now. I got quotes of 94k. Labour and materials have skyrocketed I' sad to say. I love to build. Great advice on going bigger with the shed. It's all about the affordability and build ability without special equipment. I I was able to I would have a warehouse. Thanks again!

Hi Scott, Just wondering if some kit sheds in Australia, source their steel from India. I don't know, but steel from India, is inferior. It's gotta be BHP steel.

Customer service in Australia is some of the worst around. Yes there a few businesses that are starting to realise what customer service is but sadly the majority are lacking. Many vendors I frequent are truly annoyed that I walked into their shop. Go figure....

Perhaps it's just the way things are now, but 100k for a shed strikes me as insane?!
