The Iron Empire - $40K SHED BUILD - How I Did It!

[@darrennoonan6147]

Being a professional builder what l can see that you have achieved , you would put a lot of so called builder's to shame . You have done a awesome job and should be very proud well done Mark.

[@TheIronEmpire]

Don’t look closely! Haha thanks mate, appreciate it

[@s4ss.m8]

Yeah as a roofer and former concreter, goddamn. Man's got a fine knack for it.

[@letsgetreal-df7pu]

A Professional Builder you say!

[@todddawson3386]

Stumbled across your channel/episode yesterday, just wanted to say well done you should be proud of yourself. I consider myself a lot like you with your up-cycle DIY, and have a go attitude. I’ve learnt so much off KZbin to help build my garage/mancave. I’ve subscribed now keep up the good work

[@patrickchim4791]

Mate what a man cave. All your hard work is paying off. Well done Mark should be proud of yourself 👍🏼

[@TheIronEmpire]

Cheers mate!

[@declanmcquay3476]

Bloody rippa place Mark, both the shed as well as the location. Great effort with doing it all on your own!

[@TheIronEmpire]

Thanks man

[@peterscott7384]

Awesome. Every man needs a shed. There will always be things to finish, don’t worry about them. It’s a good feeling to know that you did it yourself and saved some coin. Well done. The house build will be exciting. Another great video. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

Cheers Pete! It’s a hard slog but well worth it!

Something to be proud of mark. I’m jealous of the whole set up!

Awesome shed mate and a very nice property you have. Love the Adelaide hills. Thats my goal to have something like that on about 5-10acres with a shed for my toys and a little living quarters. My little getaway haven. Awesome work mate.

Looks fantastic mate. Exactly what the wife and I want to do in Tassie. 5 acres with great outlook, build a big shed for temporary living and workshop, build our dream home. Inspirational to see what you've acheived on a budget and with plenty of sweat equity. Thanks for sharing and the transparency on costs. Enjoy 🍻

Awesome to see Mark, you hunted down a bargain, networked with mates and put in a great effort for a brilliant work place (man cave). Something we all should do.

Only just come across this channel a few days back. I gotta say you got some sick car & that shed is dope AF. Love that Torana my mate had that same model back in the day. use to shred.

Mark, dude, $11K supply for that is stunning bro. I just bought a 6x4 for $6K (with 1.8 sliding and window, skillion, 2.7 height, new mindyou) - the price of tin has gone thru the roof. good to see another bloody DIY out there mate, my fitout will be all DIY my solar gear just arrived this week too so it will be 100% off grid :) love your work mate.

[@markstone5593]

I've just finished my UC Torana and I want your rims and tyres you have on yours. Are they 15x8's on the back. that's what I would like if you thought they fit ok. 7" on the front, $$s delivered to Bundaberg QLD. Shed building is one of the hardest games out there, sure anyone can build a shed, but doing it for a living and doing it right is a different story. I did it for about 20yrs and made good $$s doing it. I can tell you that you have done very well. Better than most I've seen over the years. My tip: find a local shed builder (not a house builder) have him measure up all the flashings needed to finish it off and polish up a few things. like the overhang eve you have. It's that last 10% when done properly can make all the difference. 2-3 days tops even if he doesn't finish, you'll know how to. Oh, and when you paint the roller doors, paint all of them don't try and match a colour and think they will look the same, and buy the best paints.

[@TheIronEmpire]

Thanks for the tips mate! Yeah, it’s always the last little bit that makes it look unfinished and separates it from a “pro build” but it will get there! We got these wheels years ago mate, they are Street Pro’s by VPW. I think they are 15x6 and 15x8.5 But I’d suggest slightly narrower on the rear if you’re planing to run it this low!

[@markstone5593]

@@TheIronEmpire Ok thanks, so do you sell a similar set and post Australia wide, eg. cheaper convo pro look alike rims. Or maybe a set that will fit and suit the old school torana. Not after high end wheels, just a nice set of 15". cheers

[@Peteslife]

I put my shed up. Will do it again when I move. I put my hoist up outside. But I don’t work on nice cars. Outside means you don’t waste shed space and the do take up lots of space. I modified the hoist (2. Post) to also be able to drive the mower up on it and another jib to lift the bike up to get under it to service etc. awesome 😎 3rd jib for butchering sheep. So it’s a huge benefit to have the hoist outside. And yes I built my shed high enough for the hoist and made the slab thicker but then put the hoist up outside haha

[@TheIronEmpire]

Haha nice I’d like a hoist outside for dirty jobs eventually also

[@AxisPaintworks]

Great Spot! I really like what you did with the place and finding it at a discount like that was a total score.

[@TheIronEmpire]

Very happy with it

Love your motivation brah, once the house is done turn the bedroom area into a pool room with herbarium for a couple of snakes, always intriguing. You guys don't have the humidity like us qlders, but the aircon is the saving grace for sure.

[@colinfanning6400]

Fukin awsome! I'm planning on building a shed soon,but keep putting it on the back burner cause of cost,not that I've priced anything out yet,but I know ballpark figures, however,amongst other things you've mentioned, I'd never even considered overrun or damaged stock from suppliers. I only cottoned on to your channel, like,yesterday, but,for what it's worth,you've just won ya self another dedicated follower. Keep up the good work,ole mate.
