Used as a storage shed and workshop and some where to house the fourby. Shade cloth is used to keep the heat out. Nice place to sit on a summers night. The floor in the car area is paved with timber. Good to work on as there is a feel about it. I worked on a wooden floor of this type for years where I worked at BHP in Port Kembla.

Now thats what I call a fence with depth!! Some real good scavenging you got going on there Stewart, an unattended tip, a film set and a bridge re-fit. Not just any old re-claimed timber, but historically famous timber tboot. Heavy-duty material, will last you a life time. Good move getting the roof to open up, bet it can get hot in there!!! 30 dollar construction!!, Good work fella, no point in spending when you dont have to.&..When you lift up the carpet in our house, all you get is concrete( its just not right). It would be great if your place was THE shack mentioned in Jack O'Hagans poem. You are probably living in the building that helped inspire Jack in writing of one of the most well known poems in Australian folk-law, incredible! Glad I came across you on The Road to Gundagai.
All the best.

Great use of re-cycled stuff, Stewart, what do you use it for?
