Finally after a long wait and a lot of work the Expandas new home is going forward. Slab laid and I am awaiting a 9x7 garage from Ranbuild. I put a drain in to catch the water left in the drain pipe when i back her in (and forget and pump the handle!).

Here`s where our baby sleeps when we're home.I built both shed and carport.The shed started as a 6m x 7m but added a 3m bay on each end when we could afford it. With our old expanda we had to back it in and the winch it through the roller door on the right in the first pic.My wife was always having kittens worrying the van would come off and go down over the retaining wall.So we decided to build a carport 9m x 5.5m. Backing in and out now is a breeze.

How is the build going???

Looks like it will be a pearler.

I should have got you around on the winch mate!
Yes its a lot better now much easier to get out for a weekend or overnighter.

I was discussing with the wife on the weekend about the fibreglass yellowing, so i have decided when the funds permit we will sheet this rear wall as it is north facing and the rear bed end gets a bit of sun on it. It will block my access to the rear yard but will be worth it i think. I will have a opening for access still as the woodshed is just behind the watertank and to the van.

17T, suggestion - what about trapping/ canvassing the opening like a bitro blind for a pergola, then you'd still have access.

Nothing like getting a few brownie points, let it be our little secret. Cheers Pace.

[achjimmy]

Getting close to finishing ours at last, Vans in. Need power, flashing around doors and a driverway.

 

[cruza driver]

Looking like a cosy place for winter for the the Expanda and Cruiser achjimmy a good size shed too

 

[achjimmy]

Mate the wife will throttle me if we dont get it out over winter! she has been very patient since xmas as we had all this work, i really need to do the driveway and then its hit the remote hitch up and go!

 

[17triton]

Looks good Jim, it looks you wouldnt put the cruiser out the back door it looks like it drops away a bit. Good to have a roof over the toys mate.

 

[achjimmy]

Winch challenge extreme down the back LOL no theres a track in rotomill that a fourby can get up okay.

 

[Brad]

Nice Jim. I get very jealous of this thread.

 

[bigman0510]

expanda just out of curiosity, is this thread closed to members only? just a bit concerned that everybody is creating a shopping list for thieves, enabling them to "case the joint" without going there.
Sorry, its just my mindset at the moment...... these days with the power of Google its not hard to track down people from pics etc.

Good point Bigman.

 

[Lara]

Yeah, not a bad idea bigman0510. With a husband in the security industry, I've heard all the bad stories. Has probably made me a little hyper sensitive to theft.....
But yes, thieves are much more computer savvy these days.

This is where our lives at the moment, awaiting retaining wall, 2nd driveway and carport, need to finish the rest of the house before the minister will allow it

 

[cruza driver]

This isn't where our Expanda lives but, it is our tin shed turned into a High Country Hut look-a-like. Better than looking at a tin shed I reckon
