That’s amazing, Bob!!
What a tribute to what a dude can do, given too much time, money, youth, and friends encouraging him to crazy and dangerous feats!! Sadly, I lack three of those…
In this multi-part series describing his underground empire (don’t you guys down under have building codes and permit requirements?? [edit – oops, he in the UK, sorry, but same comment for them]), I like this build of his mine cart.
Ok, that’s a series I’m gonna check out. Looks like way too much fun. 
Yep Cliff, you would get skinned alive downunder - if you got caught. I can think of a dozen beating sticks the authorities could pick from.

I’ve been pecking away at the last piece of “furniture,” a rolling rack to hold sheet and stick stock / scraps. Just need to sand it, and then on to shelving.
Bruce gave me a RR sign last year, and I’ll put that up on the end wall, near the A/C. And then I thought, I wonder if there’s a clock that looks like that? To go on the other side of the A/C? Sure enough, on Etsy. So I got that, and made a frame for Bruce’s sign to sort of match.
At long last, I think I can put a fork in this project and call it done. Still some drainage and deck stuff to deal with, and all the tools & supplies transfer from the garage, but too boring to post on, let alone read about.
So, here’s the interior all done. The shelving went in yesterday, pegboard / blinds / clock & Bruce’s sign today. And Bruce, that’s your wire shelving over the desk and stock rack, thanks for that and… well so much else!
FWIW, it was really satisfying to be able to set up an outdoor workspace this morning in about 5 minutes, for further sawdust-making work.
Though I began the thread in January, the planning & permitting started in November of '23. I’m glad it’s “officially” done!
So my big thanks for everyone hanging in there with me through this lengthy project and your encouragements and jokes along the way, they’ve helped greatly, as always.
Cliff
WOW. That really looks awesome. I jealous! I can hardly move in my garage shop / storage area.
Do they make you get an inspection and Certificate of Occupancy ?
My neighbors don’t believe in permits. It will bite them hard someday. I don’t blow them in because I like peaceful co-existence.
So when do the invites go out for ShedOps 2024? 
That looks fantastic Cliff,
Proper man land right next to the railroad. Well done!
Cheers

Jon, I’m glad you like it.
No, I did the building and electrical permits, but they didn’t suggest an occupancy permit / cert was needed (I didn’t ask 
).
Thanks very much, Neil!
Did you put up a Rooster weather vane
Not yet Sean, I need to schedule a day or two to overthink it.
His is on the right:rofl:
Nice find, thanks Bob.
However, I’m needing to vent the roof a little more, so I’m considering something like this:
I need to see what the shed manufacturer recommends (it was an option I declined, but shouldn’t have).
See, this is where the overthinking kicks in… Like installation details; does the kit come with all needed flashing; will the copper stand up, or do you have to coat it, but with what; should I get screens on the cupola to keep bugs out, and does that even work; what does it do in the snow; do all the louvers ice up and, with the heat under the roof, start dripping down on my insulation and ceiling; should the hole thing be cosmetic, and if so maybe punt on the cupola and just get a cheapass rooster to make Sean shut up 
; etc.
Might be a fall project, when things get cooler. Fall of 2025. That should give me plenty of pondering / procrastination time.
I thought it was a theme, considering you have one on the mill
You thought right Sean!
Now I feel guilty for saying shut up, I was just messing with you Buddy!
Honestly Sean that’s profiling anyway!
You want a theme for Cliff well here’s one !
A ʎssnd chasing butterflies seems about right to me!
Why stick him up on the roof? Have him stand guard at the entrance
