Puffwagon Gold Donating Members 16,348 Member For: 10y 5m Gender: Not Telling Posted 12/07/22 05:05 AM Share Posted 12/07/22 05:05 AM Well a Tesla solar battery has been ordered and should be installed within the next 6 months. Cost just under $11k installed so not too bad I suppose. It'll more than pay for itself at this point in time which wasn't the case a year or two ago. I'll put up some numbers next year when it's all said and done. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/91333-new-build-home-renovations-gardens-garages-sheds/page/310/#findComment-1713175 Share on other sites More sharing options...

gaz097 Bronze Donating Members 1,752 Member For: 13y 11m 8d Posted 25/12/22 01:12 AM Share Posted 25/12/22 01:12 AM Lesson learnt. 10x6m shed is not diy friendly. Got it 90% done, but fck it was hard work. Pay someone to do it. If my roof skillioned the other way, it may not of been so bad as the middle beam was 10m long and 2 of us couldn't lift it. Plus the roller door was 170kg. Scissor lift is a must. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/91333-new-build-home-renovations-gardens-garages-sheds/page/310/#findComment-1716429 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I swapped a wall unit aircon out a while back and the farker was 70kg. I literally used my engine crane to chuck it in 😅 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/91333-new-build-home-renovations-gardens-garages-sheds/page/310/#findComment-1716431 Share on other sites More sharing options...

biddie_fiddler [IMPULSIV3] Donating Members 1,374 Member For: 6y 3m Gender: Male Location: Perth, WA Posted 30/05/23 12:15 AM Share Posted 30/05/23 12:15 AM Whats the average cost for getting a slab poured for a shed? The house design we are likely going for will give me room at the back for a workshop. Nothing big enough for a car, but plenty big enough for electronics stuff, hoping to finally have a place to work on car lighting. Looking at potentially a 3.5x4m shed. I don't want to contact any local places until our design has been finalised so I know what size shed I can order. Other option is to play around with the house design to extend the garage and have a workshop in the garage - all depends on which option is cheaper 😋 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/91333-new-build-home-renovations-gardens-garages-sheds/page/310/#findComment-1718929 Share on other sites More sharing options...
