I did this on my forum & forgot to post here, so the posts will be a little out of date to begin with

Well it hasnt started yet, but the slab is going down next Friday and then 2 weeks later shed will be going up.
Its going to be a 4x3 in the same color as the house.

:arrow: Shed - $1090.00
:arrow: Skylight - $90.00
:arrow: Installation - $265.00
:arrow: Concrete slab - $600.00

Color - Classic Cream Walls / grey roof & trim
Hinge door on LHS


And this is the area where it is going:



It will be going along the fence on the left of that pic.
I was going to put a drain in the centre of the slab & put a soakwell in, but have decided I would rather drain the water onto the garden that way I'm not wasting water. :idea:
Will put more pics up as I go.

7th Oct:

Slab went down today...
Not long now, 2 weeks until shed gets installed...



Looks small

8th Oct:

I had to go and water the slab today, I was hoping it was going to grow with the extra water, but no luck
And Im now thinking I should have got them to make the slab rough so it wasnt slippery. Oh well, maybe the next slab





And a shot of Jasper checking out his new home

I got 2 IBC's a couple of weeks ago and forgot to think about how the hell I was going to get them in the shed until I got home, So I had to go through the side..

16th Nov:

Well after NOT being able to see my fish properly in the garage, I decided to pull my finger out and do something about the IBC's and getting them in the shed.
So as you may know I couldn't get them in through the door, so I either had to lift the shed over them (too hard) or pull out one wall... so this was tonight's outcome:

Start:


One panel out:


One in, one to go:


Both in:


Both in place:


All the foam put back inside ready for Thurs:


And finished:

Hey Daz,

LOL yea its great Only tempary, those top tanks were a little cloudy so the canister was there to do a job
I find the skylight fantastic, the amount of light it allows in is amazing, no more lights on during the day
I also found the heat not too bad, one of the IBC's is under it as is a 3ft tank both were at 24c today, All day, I may cover during Winter as I may lose a little heat that way. Will have to wait and see, Why dont you get one installed now?

Nah I will get some foam on it soon, I bought some glue that was meant to work but guess what????? It didnt, well it worked for one sheet hahah anyway I will come up with another way soon.
The missus wanted the garage back so it was a rush job to get the shed up and running, for a rush job I think it turned out AOK

Thanks for the comments guys

[dazzabozza]

Why dont you get one installed now?

I saw a clear whirly bird that also acts a skylight. Might be worth a shot.

[mattt]

i like the lips on the IBC's, stop possible fish jumping?

[cichlid4lyf]

looking very nice Arron.

Darryl has heaps of competition now, with all these sheds now up and running.

mmm interesting, If you get it done, make sure to get pics

That was the idea, also didnt want too much of a gap so heat could stay in a bit more
