Finished shed

The shed is finally finished.  Isn't it a beauty?  The walls are "pale eucalypt", the roof is "wilderness" and the roller doors, gutters and down pipes are "woodland grey".   The window frames and the tank are "rivergum", which is supposed to be the same as the roof colour "wilderness".  I don't know why Colorbond insist on changing the names of their colours every couple of years or so.  At least the colours are supposed to be the same, so you can still match stuff from other suppliers.  The photos don't really show the roof colour that well, so you'll just have to take my word for it.  :)

I spent at least an hour walking around the shed, picking up all manner of screws, bits of metal, rivets, etc.  Hundreds of them.  I think we've got enough to put together a whole other shed, if we had extra panels and frame bits.  They were strewn everywhere.  I expect if I went up there again and walked around the shed, I could find another 50 screws on the ground without trying too hard.  There were at least 50 just on the concrete out the front of the 3 bays with the doors.

The down pipes aren't on yet, because the guy who put the shed up is not licensed to connect them to the tank.  There are so many different plumbing licenses; I had no idea before we started all this.  The guy who did the septic tank needed a specific license for that and drainage.  The roof of the shed, because it is metal, needed to be done by someone with a roof plumbing license, but apparently, you can get a restricted roof plumbing license to be able to just do class 10A buildings; ie. garages and sheds.  That license doesn't give them the authority to connect to any drainage, whether that is a storm water drain or a tank.  We need to get a plumber with that license to connect the down pipes to the tank.  Brilliant.

Unfortunately, there was no ladder on site, so I couldn't see how much the shed imposed on the view out of the round window.  A photo opportunity for another day.

I finally got one after the plastering has been started.
