Mud
It's been too wet to work at Bettys so the shed is coming along nicely.
 Keith I agree the shed would be great for CMP's but Vicki saw your post and threatened us both with rabbit traps applied to bring tears to the eyes  At the moment we would need 4WD to get into the shed. I have regressed and am playing in mud again

Pic
I like this pic best - for some reason there's something particularly appealing about this view.

I had heard you guys were having a drought.....
....looks very wet to me.....
Must be nice to build and not have to worry about installing 6 inches of insulation and worrying about snow load on the roof...... ....but the view is very nice...... As any of you used the spray cans of brake cleaners..... in Canada it is sold to cleanup/degrease in brake jobs..... content is a (safe) derivative of the old carbon tetrachloride...... you spray a wasp or any other flying insect.... and they instantly go into overdrive...flying flat out straight for about 8 feet..... then drop dead with a thud to the ground .... it is so much fun the boys at the barn are now looking for opportunities to perfect there aim.... and remember the spray is suppose to be safe.... wonder what it would do to them mean spiders!!!! maybe will spray Jiff and see if he speeds up...

Yes Bob we are still in drought I have good feed because I am under stocked but the creeks are at record lows here and the mud was made with only 6mm of rain. The shed has a light snow rating and it's fun learning to build it as the instructions that were sent with the kit were fore a different type of shed.

It's going to be nice Robert. Looks like a few sheets of iron on the house wouldn't go amiss either. How old is your house? I hope it's ancient, as I wouldn't like the CMP's etc to rust like that.
Regards Rick

Old house
Yes Rick the house is old, it was my Grandfathers house and the rooms vary in age from 75 to 112 years, it's been added to twice and originally was 3 rooms, kitchen, bathroom & bedroom. Second hand iron was used on most of the roof and I used up a couple of tubes of sealer in the old nail holes when the paint flaked off. Vicki and I have done some internal renovations and it is fairly comfortable to live in. The best part is there is no morgage it's all mine
Back to the shed with no tractor home Vicki got to use the comealong while I guided and bolted the last truss in place
