hah hahahh i'm well happy at last things are starting to move on the building front after a lot of fooking about i now have my new toy shed. now all i need is my house lol but hey ho it's coming and it wil start next month but at least i now have somewhere to go and do a few jobs other than in the garage at the side of my house



this was last friday



and wensdays progress



and this is it done from start to finish in one week i'm well happy

 

looks nice good size of shed mate

 

Sweet spot on matey.

 

it will do for now it's 12 x14 mtr so big enough for the bottom of the garden lol

 

now that is a dream garage

 

Mr Brown hope your good. Is that built on your own land then? did you put it up yourself(with help)?
Looks mint btw so does the warmer weather

 

looks good.its just a bit bigger than mines

 

was that done using steel build?

 

hey up andy i am well mate this weather is a dream chap, i bought some land last year so i could put a house and shed on the same plot so i don't get ear off the mrs for always being at the garage this way i'm at home lol so it will keep her sweat. i bought the shed as a package mate all up it cost me $32000 built and council approved. i am off to fit a 9000 ltr water tank round the back of it today and that will be as much as i have done lol. i will put a pic of my land up so you can see what i have to play with chap

this is where the new house and pool will go and you can see the shed pad i had cut at the bottom of the garden



this is looking across from my shed to the pond i had dug out a while ago



looking up to where the house is going



and this is what it looked like before i had the earth works done, it's 3.5 acres i could have had bigger but this was a nice plot on the edge of woodland and 5 mins to the center of town

 

fuck me,, you own half of a county lol

 

Excellent always good to see how your living - looks like a fair bit of land you have there, land your working well! It will be interesting to see how it progresses.

 

hmm i sometimes wish i had got a bit less land mate i had to buy a tractor to cut the fooking grass mate and with it being subtropical here the fooker grows like fook and it takes 3 hours to cut even on the old tractor

 

nice 1 mara what the fuck am i doin still over here lol

 

jesus thats some patch of land is land cheap over there ?

 

land is very cheap here at the moment mate i paid $135,000 for it so about 60k in the old money. i nearly bought 30 acres just out of town thank fook i didn't lol it would have been a nightmare to keep tidy. building is cheap to lol i am haveing a four bed two bathroom on suite house built to top spec for just over $220,000, all up land house pool and my new garage will have cost me about £175,000. i am looking at doubling my money on this property as it will be worth about $650,000 when done. i'm looking for another plot at the moment as land is starting to go up a bit and have spotted another nice plot about the same size for similar money . and timmy lad there will be a place to visit before to long chap then you will be able to go look for tittys down here pal

 

hmm digging out for concreate footings for my water tank was not fun in 38 degrees i recon it was more like 45-50 in the sun ahh well i better get back and finnish off so i can site the water tank i will beat the sun today it's 6.30 am i must be mad

 

Very Nice .

 

i need to move

 

when all thats done pal,i expect you to be on the beach looking at the peaches.............

 

thats it for a while 98 bricks laid 3 barows of gobo and i'm fooked but thats the hard bit done so as it's 38 degrees now i will have a break for a while till the sun has passed over. i will go back about 3pm to spred 3 tonne of crusher dust and site the tank. so it's now beer oclock lol and i fancey a few cold one's i have just fired the bbq for me lunch and me old dogs looking well happy as he gets a feed off the bbq to so alls good till 3pm i'm gona kick back in the shade have a beer and a snoozzzzz

 

i will be there next weekend pal i have a surfing lesson lol

 

Wow, I look forward to reading more progress rerports, your obvously doing really well for yourself mate, well done.

 

Always good to see people doing well for themselves. I'd love a massive house and a garage to match.

 

Cracking mate, I'm just gutted at spending £100k on a fooking flat

 

i'm just mr average lads i don't have piles of cash lol. i won't have a mortgage to speak of and will have saved enough to buy another plot as soon as this one is done. it killed me haveing money in the bank and driving an old 325i for me track car but i new i was heading out here and could not justify blowing money on toys. i worked like a dog to make enough money to make the move as easy as poss. i now have to make the most of what i have. hopefully in 12 months time i will have a nice pad with all i want i'm not greedy and as it go's you get out what you put in, i have been there most of the weekend up at 5.30am this morning just to get my tank sited so i can get it plumbed in so i can catch some rain before the end of summer.

 

oranoco i feel for you mate thats why i bailed out of the uk

 

so the last piccs of today ha ha


busted the mrs caught me asleep in my chair haveing five minits lol

 

Fair play to you mate. Would love to move out there but the mrs wont leave cause she will miss her mum and all too much. Im an Australian citizen so I can go anytime I want. Shame as this country is f**kd. You work your bollocks off for nothing here, everything is so fast paced, you never have any relaxation time.

 

mackers, i know what you mean mate about the uk i bust a gut to make the move but it's all going well so it seems i got out just in time. i have loads of work in front of me here but it's a place i want to be so i have to make the effort for the next 12 mths then i can back off and enjoy australia for what it is

 

Cool I have been waiting for this update

 

Whats the story with the water tank, why do you need it? Do you have mains water aswell or is your water delivered to you and stored?

 

Wow that land looks amazing and the price sounds the bollocks!

 

andy there is no mains water out of town so you need tanks. i have two 25,000 ltr tanks for the house and a 9000 ltr for the garage. i also had to have a water treatment plant for the waste water a type 2 advanced treatment plant so i wont have a septic tank. the type two is an areobic sand filteration set up and is totaly odourless i bought a ripper for me old tractor to prepare an area of ground so i can run it off sub surface it is an undergroud set up so there will be nothing to see or smell

 

oh i should be able to collect enough water from the roof of the house so there will be no need to have it deliverd. it's not expensive to have it deliverd 5000 gallon is $200 so i will have the tanks filled first time round as it will be winter when the house is done and we don't get rain in the winter here just the summer lol

 

Watch the old tractor you know radials and crossplys dont mix well lol
Keep the updates comming
Im not Jealous

 

wow, looks awesome!

 

Throw a matress in the shed Mr B thats where I'll be stopping..... )

 

ha ha fook that steve i recon you could stay in the house mate, hmm i recon i may treat the old tractor to a set of new boots lol i think they may be the original tyres from 1956 when it was made
