Please explain....

Insulation wise I'm thinking the foil roll stuff with the one furry side. Or the spray on stuff that Steve Green mentioned. Need to source who does it though....


Daz

Why dont you use the coolroom panel inserts that myself & Tony have used?
They are easy to work with, around 50mm thick and work a treat, best of all they are FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE..... A coolroom place in Malaga have them and are more than happy to give them away.

Gday Az

I'll consider it, just wanted to get the other options priced up first. If I went for the foil type it wouldn't be so intrusive space wise. If I went for the spray-on it provides a decent air-seal at the same time.

Hi Evan

A big thanks to Col (Cicolid) as he came up to Perth 2 days last week to help me square up and strengthen the shed.

Now I'm sealing all the little holes and the bottom of the shed to stop rain from entering.

Next I'll be looking into electrical and insulation. The spray on foam is going to cost approx. $1500 for 50mm and $800 for 25mm. Sounds pricey but will provide a nice neat finish and air seal, still considering other options. If anyone can recommend some more companies to get quotes from it would be appreciated.

you could always go to the ice works near the intersection of welshpool rd. and leach hwy. in welshpool as they are always selling foam sheet up to about 75mm for very cheap as far as i know

Hi Brett

It has come to a stand still while I wait for my sparky friend.

I have been collecting extra tanks and stands for it though.

Will see what I can come up with pic wise.


Daz

[convict paul]

paul

[dazzabozza]

Roughly 13 still in the house and about 15 outside waiting to go into the shed. More to come after I figure out my floor plan

[highlucks]

I have some for sale if you need a few more . give me a yell if you ever need a hand. I am not too far away

[dazzabozza]

Lack of a sparky is holding me up at the moment....

[the pulpican man]

so whats happening with the shed? haha still lacking the sparky?

[dazzabozza]

Yes unfortunately. I'll get another one onto it rather than waiting for a mate to do it in his "spare" time

[the pulpican man]

lol we had the same problem with a gas fire, waiting for my dads friends to do it in his "spare" time, well that was nearly 2 years ago lol.

cant wait to see how it turns out!

Daz if your still stuck I might be able to help you out with the sparky stuff. But not until November...

[highlucks]

Hey Daz, if you've still got Bernies details give him a call.

[dazzabozza]

It's been a while but this project has been ressurrected now that I have some time off work.

A BIG thanks to bradfitzy for helping me out today

Sliding doors have now been converted to hinged swinging doors. This will allow us to better insulate them.


Began Anticon insulation install

loooking good mate

[Dougo]

this shed may be multi functional//////////////////tomatos--etc
eheheheh daz sort out my pc and ill help you with your ppoowweerr

[dazzabozza]

Yep it's coming along nicely thanks to Brad's help.

The ceiling is now fully insulated. Prior to doing this the air temp in the shed was reaching 50 degrees. It now peaks at 35 degrees. Filled up 2x 540 litre tanks Monday evening. Water temp has peaked at 27 degrees. Lowest temp was 24 degrees. Not bad hey!

Will still insulate the walls to try and keep the heat in during the cooler months.

Dougo, I'll give you a buzz soon about your PC. Electricity to the shed is now a priority.
