Machinery shed build

[Wombat]

Not being the party pooper but
HSE would love to see those pictures, don‘t think I’d post them.

Think he is in Holland so they maybe have different rules

I doubt it , man cage chain is not even In place, no harness, man cage on 360, and the man on the purlin defying gravity, Etc,
There’s risk and there’s Risk ,

party pooper , they don't have H S E any way so there!

We do have some sort of HSE like thingy but nowhere near the crap you guys have to deal with. Fair comment on the mancage chain though. The guy in it was quite consistent on it, just forgot that time.
We can pretty much do as we please as long as you don't employ people and do it at your own place. When you start to employ people the shiit kicks in, which is fair enough.
Also, I wouldn't use the mancage if I didn't trust it, I do have it locked with an extra pin as I don't want it to rely on the hydraulic quickhitch (which opens by oil and locks by spring pressure when I switch a manual three way valve to float so double safety anyway).
The guy on the purlin is sat there steadily. Can't say more then that, I don't see the problem. I wouldn't do it at twice the height with concrete underneath though.
What's wrong with a mancage on a digger though? (serious question)

@Wombat 13 meters deep and a tad under 16 meters wide (x3.3 feet for the metric impaired).

Front of the roof on, and already filling up.

why is it when we build a shed its never big enough

 

[Gerbert]

Because the minute you start building you stop getting rid of old crap, or worse yet, start buying all kinds of stuff because "well I do have the space anyway".

 

[bumkin]

i have sheds full of crap that might be useful one day spare parts for machines long gone , i will have a clear out one day just before it becomes vaueable, when i moved thirty years ago i gave so much stuff away, i now see on the antique programs that folk buy and sell this stuff

 

[Gerbert]

Starting to look like an actual shed with the cladding on.
Also a new one piece raingutter installed.

A Dutch saying "gedogen"

 

[Gerbert]

Nah, gedogen means you legalize use of a product without legalizing supply. Like saying you can have a shed, but you cannot build it. Pretty much shortsightedness combined with political wishful thinking.

 

[Gerbert]

Getting there!

 

[Gerbert]

That's one side done.

And a reminder of things to come.

Well it has been a while but we are ploughing on.
Part of the reason it took so long is that although I had a big pile of nice bricks I had no intention to use them for the shed. I used those to replace the ugly parts of the yard and use the old ugly stuff for the above.
These tiles are 30 by 30 cm instead of the 10.5 by 21 bricks I have on my yard so laying them is a very quick job.
I look forward to be able to enter the shed with the industrial forklift so I can make far better use of the space.

Did you put any hardcore in first ,,the blocks have sunk

 

[Gerbert]

We are on pure sand soil so no need for hardcore. Which blocks do you mean?

In that shed ,,two nice valleys where the tractor has run on them

 

[Gerbert]

Ah yes. The tiles will get the whacky whacky treatment (vibratory plate). Running on them beforehand isn't ideal but hey. Also the tiles are all different, form 6 cm to 8 cm which doesn't help.

Almost finished with the rough work. The handful of tiles on the first photo are the leftovers, that's advanced calculations for ya, or as I like to call it, luck.
My father told me the story of the tiles which I thought I would share. My uncle worked for a meal company and heard that at another meal company they where going the give the paving away for free (I guess they got new paving, not sure), so being a sucker for free stuff my father got a nice 2 axle turntable trailer and hauled it home in one load, out of quute a populated town, no straps or whatever, just on pallets stacked on an open trailer with a 60 something hp International. I did some calculations and those tiles add up to about 17 cubic metre, multiplied by 2.5 that is over 40 tonnes... He told me the tractor wouldn't go in top gear
People where pretty insane back then.
