shed status

We've had news on the shed... more importantly the roller doors... someone in their wisdom didn't order enough roller doors... and so, they have had to order more!! Smart people! Apparently our shed should arrive at the end of the month... a month and a half late!!

This is not a problem to Gav. It very much is to me because they didn't deliver when they said they would first time!! He recons it will give us plenty of time to get the slab done!!

As for the pad...One word... RAIN! Cant pour concrete in the rain!! So, we wait for a nice fine lovely day! Meanwhile we all go stir-crazy from being stuck inside due to rain!

I so want to go camping!

The guys came out today to see about pouring concrete!! The put aome things under the reo to hold it up in the middle area of the concrete... but after a little chat with a guy in Inverel and a quick look at another job they are doing - they decided that the rain was looking at coming in too much to pour!! I'm happy that they have delayed due to rain but I'm not happy the job is delayed!

Although with it all delayed - it doesn't really make much difference - the shed hasn't turned up yet! Still something about roller doors. Gavs theory is that they've sold more than they can actually physically make and so are coming up with stupid excuses for mis-management! My theory is that they just cant be bothered with "little" people and are more interested in businesses and other corperate people!! Either that or they've just taken our money and just decided not to bother giving us the shed!!

concrete slab!!

Good news on the slab... we had our inspection and passed! Yay!! We discussed with the guy about what we need to do to stop the crusher dust and road base from coming out from under the slab... What we want to do is perfectly fine! Yay again!!I am very happy with the current rate of progress!

Tomorrow (if all goes according to plan) the pouring of concrete will begin!! Apparently starting at 8am!!

However, the shed still has not arrived! And there is no news!! Not happy about this!

still no news

Roller doors have not turned up... but why would they - they seem to be enjoying their holiday!! My recommendation - seriously consider what company you get your shed from! I will be getting my husband to hound the company until they actually do something like chasing up our doors instead of just offering lame excuses! It seems that with some companies they wont do anything until you start throwing tantrums!

I will have my shed... and I will have it before Christmas... I know how to do it... starting by asking for them to refund me due to the delay at their end!!

o shed where art thou roller doors??

I know this isn't really house transformation... but it does add value and it is transforming the back yard!!

I will be posting pics of the work on the shed! And the progress of where the shed is... not that we know that!

It's late! The shed was first supposed to arrive here in mid October, excuse after excuse had it put off till the end of October - which would have been ok because we may have had it ready in time for Onjahlikas party... No! It was put off again until the day after Onjahlikas birthday! Did the shed arrive? No - the excuse was and still is the roller doors have been delayed!

What I want to know is who have they been delayed for?? The only person that I know of who can cause chaos to happen when visiting somewhere is the pope!! Don't think he's coming to see our roller doors or the people making them!!

So my next question is why cant they send the rest of the shed to us and the roller doors later?? The answer to that is they only get paid for the one delivery!! So to keep their books balanced they want to screw us around!!

Not sure I'll be recommending this particular shed company or their delivery company to anyone and time soon!

Yes - I will post photos of the pad in process! It is finally happening! we need another council inspection! Then the concrete gets poured!! At least we will have a concrete pad soon!

Here is the first one - the first two posts marking out two corners of the shed!!
