I have seen Big Al's shed and it is massive. If it is not 500 or 600 sqm I will eat my Lightforces! It even has a mezzanine level for spare parts that would be as big as an average two car garage by itself. Hell, he has a "smaller shed" that still fits 4 cars and a caravan!

I have seen warehouses and fabrication businesses in smaller sheds!

Congratulations Johno

Sheds and farms just go together. Suburbia just doesn't cut it.

Enjoy!! Are you going to do anything with the farm?

When we were looking at the place we ultimately bought it was the shed that did it for me. But in a moment of inspiration i kept going on and on and on about how lovely the garden around the house was what nice shrubs they were and where the pool would go. ;-)

Got away with it too :-))))))

Only trouble is, she now wants to know what i'm going to do with all that space.

The farm thing can be pretty good fun, so long as you don't have to rely on it as your sole source of income
Keep us updated on how you get on in the future.

We just stuck with beef cattle, as they are fairly low maintenance. I didn't want to be full time farmer either. We don't have any now, but used to keep chooks, very productive, makes you wonder what those egg looking things are that they sell at the shops.
I reckon as breed you can't go past Autralorps great dual purpose breed, not flighty and the only Australian developed breed.

Not sure what your area is like but the only thing to look out for is snakes in the henhouse. There is an old saying "Poultry = Pythons" They seem to like robbing eggs.

Bugger! My 'Taj Mahal' is sounding more like a Punjabi outhouse now.....

14 acres with a 160m shed - Strewth!!!! Nice work. Lovely neck of the woods too. Can always duck over to Sawyers Valley or Talbot Rd for some 'R&D' on the 4x4 too.

Good on you, as a neighbour accross the river i know what it is like.

Looks like there is the mine is bigger than yours competition going on between the boys.

But the basic rule is that the junk accumulates to take up all the available space. Therefore the bigger the shed the more Junk. The wife also contributes to the shed as she wont want stuff stored in the house. I thought mine at 112 sq mtr was big enough, then came an addition of another 20 sq mtrs and now i am considering that i still need more.
