Onoff Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Now for something different from across the pond this Friday night! Thought the collective might like to see how they do things there. At it's simplest my mate lives in Sunol CA, His shed burnt down (leccy fault) and he's built a new one. The twist is this very shed was where a certain Mr Clint Eastwood spent a lot of time as a youngster (as in slept in there). Gary's place was owned by Clint's nan and he had to stay with her during some tough times at home . And yes, he's been back to visit! Gary writes: "And sure, the shed pics are up for grabs - I expect there will be some minor differences at least. We did standard framing as code for a house, 16" centers for the wall studs. We expect if an earthquake did rattle them off their pier bases, they could be lifted again and reset. (The one built as a workshop has almost double the number of piers, would take an industrial pounding.)" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeSharp01 Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Yep it won't work upside down as it breaks the logo use rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onoff Posted September 1, 2017 Author Share Posted September 1, 2017 Safe zones, what safe zones? He had an electrical contractor do that wiring. Love the nail plates on the stud. Different strokes etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeSharp01 Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Ok .75 of a bottle of Malbac later and I now wonder if perhaps - just perhaps we might hear 'go on punk make my shed.' (To bouglarise somewhat.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
