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!

[@patrickchim4791]

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

[@TheIronEmpire]

Cheers mate!

[@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. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[@TheIronEmpire]

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

[@herridge8917]

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

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

[@brentonmracek5656]

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.

[@TheIronEmpire]

Cheers mate, it’s been my dream for many years also!

[@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

[@scottwhyte2772]

Super job mate, it costed me 67,000 us for my shed its 14,000 syft.

[@TheIronEmpire]

Must be a nice shed mate! 👌🏼

[@1993Revhead]

Put the big block in the fairlaine.

[@tonymontana897]

How long ago did you build that shed ? I ask because your price for that slab seems very cheap. I'm trying to build a 9m x 15m shed and although I need to have 15 piers, my slab has been quoted at 30k ! 150mm slab, with trench beams and 32 mpa. Where are you situated that allows you to have cheap concrete ??

[@TheIronEmpire]

I concreted my own posts in, and concreted inside the shed once the wall sheets were up. It was done 3 years ago

[@lotnine]

Hey mate loved the video, what was the name of the steel supplier where you got the shed from?

[@TheIronEmpire]

Jim’s steel mart

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.

When done. Sorry

[@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

[@alancia01]

Awesome job on the epic shed mate! Just finished building my own 10 x 7 shed and it was no small task . Total understand the work that goes into getting a project like this done🤙

Killer shed, and once the house goes in it will be an epic spot to live, such a nice outlook there. It’s come a long way from the earlier video.

[@TheIronEmpire]

Thanks mate!

[@Highland_Rhino]

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 🍻

Thanks for sharing your achievements Mark, done a great job, beautiful coutryside, i used to live in Kersbrook, been following from day one, looking forward to the house build & future episodes

[@TheIronEmpire]

Thanks mate!

[@banham123]

Hey Mark what is the eave height of your shed?

[@TheIronEmpire]

3m walls At the peak is just under 4m

[@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

[@VLcuzzy]

Hey mate, I’ve been after a shed too, would you be able to tell me where to get yours from? Or even if I emailed you so you don’t reveal it on here? Cheers

Loving the shed mate and all the DIY. What product did you use on the floor and how has it held up?

[@TheIronEmpire]

I used 2 pack floor paint, by Dymark. It’s been good, only parts that failed was my fault. The concrete was still a little damp in areas

[@MrBertiebprfc]

Quick question lived to Australia 5 years looking at buying a house now 😅😅 who was the company for the shed you used I don’t mind mis matched panels

[@davidbrowning6284]

What a great setup mate, I picked up second hand shed 12 x 9 for 5k 10 years ago same style but with sliding doors at one end. A couple of days too pull down and three weeks to put back up 😂. Wish I had another one same size now, never have too many sheds keep up the good work 👍

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.

[@animal_engineering]

Good on Ya, you have done bloody well for say 40K, I'm well over that no insulation, which makes my shed unbearable for a couple of months of the year, it is just horrible. It is so good to have land ,but it is also a lot of work that takes time away from the shed and building. Recently put another 12x13 shed up myself and what a pain in the arse to be honest trying to read and understand the Widespans info, was faaarked.

[@TheIronEmpire]

Thanks man, yeah it’s alot of work but we’ll worth it! Along with insulating & lining it properly, makes a massive difference
