Daz, you need assistance with installing a 10KVa UPS unit for the shed? LMAO!

[dazzabozza]

Nah don't need assistance with installing one. Purchasing / paying for one...? Yes You provide and I'll demo it for ya Kev LOL!

I do plan on running some smaller UPSs though. I think they're around 400VA which should be plently if most of the shed is air driven.

Some progress I made yesterday. Hope to have the insulation finished by the end of the long weekend.

Vertical joins need to be tidied up with some alloy tape and 1 or 2 more horizontal straps to be added so it doesn't kick out so much.

Got to decide what to do where the insulation comes close to the floor, don't want it sucking up water.

Also the bitumen floor might need a re-think... do I bother putting down some sort of rubber matting to help insulate? Steel tubing legs on the 12' rack might need something under them too as the weight is cutting into the bitumen.

As always good work Daz very impressive It's getting there!

[gibbs]

Daz, this thing has been going on for more then a year now. Do you think it will be finished sometime soon

Don't make me come there and build that thing myself!

[dazzabozza]

I deliberately keep putting it on hold just to encourage other people to start up their own sheds and try and beat me to finish line

Not much insulation left to do, then electrics.

Also think I need a 2nd shed just to house all my "crap/junk".

[highlucks]

you need a swift kick in the arse to get you motivated and finish the damn thing.

Hey Daz

I've just ordered/will install 6x 800va UPS units into my fishroom! Will let you know how they perform!

[Krystal]

If you need any help to get things finished then I'm happy to help out

[mattt]

hey daz i'm thinking about doing my shed roof in insulation like yours. what rating etc should i get? what did you use? are you happy with it?

[dazzabozza]

Yo!

I got my anticon from 2 different suppliers and pretty sure they are slightly different thicknesses. Last batch came from here and they were priced better than Bunning$ - http://www.johnsbuil...dfords-anticon/

Mine is somewhere between 60mm - 80mm thick from memory. Happy with it so far, all the tropheus survived the 40deg+ days too!

Question is how are you going to fix/mount it??? If the lengths span too far without enough support you will get dips. Safety mesh is used on large scale sheds / factories.


Daz

[mattt]

yeah mesh or something like that i guess.. cheers.

any new additions to your shed?

[dazzabozza]

Just more junk

It's a pain coz I have to empty everything other than the tanks to continue working on it. In this weather it's a bit hit n miss.

Been contemplating getting another shed for all my junk....

[mattt]

yeah i dunno where to move all my tanks so i can actually get behind and work on the fish shed... i know if i move them into the centre i will knock them over with my fat ass.

if you frequent perth.gumtree.com.au people sell 1.5mx1.5 - 3x3m colourbond sheds all the time, and pretty cheap 100 - 200 bux. usually nothing wrong they just want the outdoor space. And more often than not for FREE if you dismantle it for them.

[spite333]

Hey Matt and dazz, i can get the anticon from JBS at a tradies price its a bit cheaper in going there tomorrow morning and ill find how much it is a roll for you guys, oh and matt i found out some prices for mdf and villa board and there is about a buck difference $25 per sheet at 1200x2400.....but thats at my prices..... if anyone else need building gear ill be more than happy to help out!!!!

Cheers Mike

[dazzabozza]

Watch this space!

Finally pulled my finger (wallet) out and bought another shed. Is a 3m x 3m and will be used for storage (mainly to get all the crap out of the fish shed so I can finish the project off!)
