Every tradesmen needs a good shed, so whilst I am still dreaming up this fabulous house, my Dream guy has already constructed HIS dream shed!!!!
Now this isn't just any shed, this is his other home. This is a guy that lives in his shed, always tinkering, always creating something or relaxing with his mates over a nice cold beer!!! No man ever knocks on our front door,they all head for the shed. We have known guys that have visited on a weekly basis for years, but have never set foot in our house, hence the shed & its presentation are of the utmost importance.Not to mention my dream guy is also self employed so the shed is also the workshop!!!
So the slab went down....
Now this slab wasn't smooth sailing like you would expect when you hire professionals, it went horribly WRONG!!!
Against every one's advice the concrete guy poured the concrete with rain forecast & before they had even finished levelling it the rain began, it poured....for days... the concrete was ruined.
After weeks of arguments, ridiculous attempts at cheap fixes & a very stressed dream guy, they ended pouring a whole new slab... PHEW... dream guy can be happy ,the man cave was getting a quality floor, crisis over!!!!
an evening shot of the frame construction...
This was taken from the street behind our block, thankfully the tradesmen that erected the shed where a little more professional in their job than the concretor. The man cave was erected by a couple of perfectionists...
Once construction was complete we had things moved here in shipping containers that we already owned & had painted the same colour as the shed My dream guys business was ready to roll once again.
We have since sold the shipping containers, so thankfully they are gone & wont be a part of my view!
Like the true perfectionist & organisational nut he is, storage shelves have been built & everything has its place.
The man cave was done...of course there will be upgrades & some home style comforts added, BUT, as I keep reminding him
NOT before I get a house!!!!
CHEERS

Now THAT is a shed!!!
What a great shed - my hubby would be so jealous! We have a similar one here at home, but it's not as big, and as you know, size is everything! Along with all the usual 'bloke' stuff, we have a huge home gym, pool table, fridge (of course!) tv....you name it. Looks like things are coming along nicely, and I can't wait to see the actual house! K xx
Yep, the man cave was constructed first on our block too (and very similar to yours)... was finished months ago and I am still waiting for the house to be done!
Remember, good things come to those who wait.
K :)
That man cave is big enough to live in. I would call that a man town its so big.....You both must be so happy to be able to do a big tick off the list. Well done.
i better not show my hubby this shed ..this is a man's dream shed xx
Ha Ha Ha My hubby & Kerri's hubby sound like twins, I think they are mentally connected, gym, pool table, tv & most importantly the beer fridge. Love it!!! Glad to see Im not the only shed widow, or still waiting on a house!!!
Hi Trish! What a man cave that is!! I hope you are well...

Wow! Your hubby must be the envy of all his mates with such a big shed.
oh my gosh......my hubb would be in heaven, he builds racecars, and likes a shed to look just so and everything have its place, when he one day gets his, it's even going to have painted floors.....{who say's boys arn't cute} hehehehe lisa xox
My hubby always says that if we move onto property he's going to get a king size shed.What is it with guys and their sheds?
You're dream guy is one very lucky man and I think you are also pretty lucky to be able to send all of his mates out to the cave and keep your house nice and pretty. I have just caught up on your last few posts and it sounds like things are moving along nicely. How exciting! xx
Wow, that's a big shed! Hope my husband never sees your blog, he would have shed envy! I won't even let him have a shed - mean I know. Maybe if we lived on acreage and not in suburbia I would allow it. Anyway, hope your dream guy enjoys his dream shed. Michelle
Okay, now we know why Dream guy was so well behaved during tile selection etc... That is one huge shed!!!! We are still waiting for our shed slab to be poured but it will be nothing like the size of that! So when are you guys moving into it? I hope the house starts soon. ;-)
Hi Trish, Cant believe they kept pouring in the rain!!!! It looks like a really gorgeous place that you are going to be living!! the hills and greenery etc! bet you cant wait to get there?!

Now that is some shed Trish, every man's dream! I haven't shown Paul yet,as we are just about to order the shed for our new place (funny how it is the first thing to be built) no sign of a house yet either, LOL, and if he see's this one our shed may get bigger :)
That is a factory, not a shed! Men and their sheds! I hope he is as happy as a pig in mud.
X Briohny.
