Doors are now complete

Spent the day finishing off the double doors. Managed to attach them with some assistance and adjusted them carefully so they aligned properly. The attention to detail as I constructed the doors paid off handsomely once they were ready to be attached to the frames. The locks are the final job and I hope to complete those during the week. It's almost finished and ready for final inspection.

First door is on!

After a lot of fiddling with plans and adjusting the doors as I progressed I've finally got the first one finished and hanging nicely. Looks good and once the painting is completed I will instal the locking mechanism. It's time to start the double doors.

Hanging the doors.

Picked up the door frames on Friday evening and worked on the preparation of the door trims today. Finally worked my way through the necessary cutting and measuring of the those and once finished they really add a completed look. Once they were installed I did a quick fit of the doors. The single door is a bit tight and will need some attention tomorrow before I can fit that, however once Cal returned from training I used him and we fitted the double doors.  They'll need some final adjustment as well tomorrow but once that's done I can add the spandek cladding and install the locks etc. It's nearly all done!

The power is on!

Bomber and the boys (Jarred and Adam) arrived at 7.45 as planned. A quick discussion of the plan and then they got into it. Finished at 1.00pm. Took a while installing the conduit, switches and lights but once it was done...sensational. Made provision along the way for a sensor light and lights under the mezzanine floor once its built. A great job, now for the doors.

Preparing for the electrician and installation of doors

A few things are happening behind the scenes in preparation for the electrician on Thursday. I bought the new lights and mounted the single ones this morning before turning to the placement of power points and light switches. I also cut the battens for the power points so I can work with the electricians as they instal the switches. Spoke to Cal about collecting the door frames from Mick and expect to have them available tomorrow. Inside, I've been preparing the bits and pieces I need once the shed has been completed. Made the top of my new workbench, planed it flat and have worked out the placement of the vices I'm going to use. Researched the placement of "dog holes" and will complete the bench as soon as possible.

Organise the inside

While I'm waiting for the doors to be made I've started to organise the inside. A bit of work because I need new benches and storage. Making these from scratch all at a height of 900mm. Most will have castors to assist with mobility and rearrangement etc. and I'll add as many drawers as I can to keep things dust free and organised. The bench I'm making is really just a frame to enclose four old drawer sets I salvaged from teachers desks we were throwing out at school. Have a couple more I'll bring home during the holidays so I can complete another trolley at 900mm. This will double as an outfeed table for the saw bench and thicknesser. Once these are done the old stuff gets demolished.

Spouting complete

Today I connected the downpipes and diverted all water into the tank. As simple as a string line, a few brackets and 90mm storm water pipe. Only took an hour or so and we are only one step away from the final inspection. Last job is to complete the doors. See Mick Chandler this week with a plan and I should be complete by the start of July school holidays.
