The opportunity to demolish a pole construction tractor shed from an adjacent site and rebuild it on the end of the 3 bay shed resulted in a building consent being gained for this, and then the work started.
An empty space
A removal option
Part demolished

An old timer helps

Then we needed to add the verandah at the front to continue that line
Poles & frame up and looking impressive
Rafters fixed in position
Roof over to form more dry spaces for members
The next item on this agenda is the concrete and there’s a lot of it
Concrete truck arrived at 7.20am and some of us present
Watching “Blue” spread the concrete put us all to shame
A level and true floated finish – a professional at work
Inside is partly concreted but look what has to be moved.
Goodmans donated a load of builders mix and Peter boxed the veranda area for us
Hand mixed concrete by members produced another area of concrete veranda.
Inside and its base levelling time. Peter shows another member how its done
Damp proof laid and lapped mesh reinforcing in place ready for pouring concrete
Chute wasn’t long enough so it was all barrowed in place
The first placing of concrete was against the wall
Nearing the end of pour which was 6 cubic metres
A nice level surface to match the adjacent slab
Another handmix pour to the veranda area by members
Wall framing to back wall underway for full closure
Cladding nearing completion
Looking good inside and almost weatherproof
Inside wall partly lined – two layers for fire rating
Back wall now lined and awaiting the plaster
Shed complete and now fully operational
