Lockable Shed/Toilet

The shed/toilet is now lockable - which means we can knock down the old existing shed and get to work on the holiday house/pavilion (will post plans/ideas for that next time).

Travelled up with the entire family - Mabel and Grace very noisy and giggly in the back - Liam singing and gesturing to his ipod songs - funny and sometimes distracting. Had to do the Dad thing a couple of times - "if you don't stop annoying your sister I will turn this car around and we will go straight home" or alternatively "do you want me to leave you by the side of the road and pick you up on the way back". As always Tara was a symbol of tranquility rubbing my leg and selecting music to soothe me.

Property was dry and the weather was crisp and sunny. Got the BBQ out and started lunch, Liam was in charge of cooking the sausages - good job - although 2 were sacrificed to the god of the ground. Feed them put the swing back up and they were set.

I just brought a small generator from ebay but it hasn't arrived yet, so everthing had to be cut by hand. I sawed while Tara nailed.

Front cladding finished - still have to finish around the door with some architrave but still looks very neat.

Finished details around the window and put the steel edging on - the edging has made it look really professional (hides all mistakes)

Back detail - still need to put guttering on.

Plinth boards on starting to look finished.

The money shot - weather wing has its supporting post - all the cladding done - plinth boards on - door on (lockable) - steel edging on two sides. Remember, this was a build as you go - no plan - next time I will definately draw up plans - have learnt alot from this little project. 

Total cost in case you wondered was just under $600 dollars (AUS). Not Bad!

Liam and Mabel helped paint the door black - good job again (although Tara did have to go over it again). All that's left to do is some finishing touches - architrave around the door - a step - a small planter box for some blueberry bushes - cut the weather wing down to the just above the height of the door. 

I am wrapped - I think it looks great. Have decided to let it weather naturally to grey to blend in. Will post a 360 degree movie when finished.

Here is the toilet ready for use - knocked up a little sawdust toilet out of some packing pallets - humanure (love it).
