Got ahead of myself with the earlier thread...the first part should have been the outside which was how it all started.
It was a stretch financially to move back to Sydney after 8 years in the bush so we were resigned to not being able to do any renovations to our 'new' home for some years. Everything inside needed doing and it had a 'Morrie Minor' concrete block garage where you could not open the car doors and get out if you drove in as it was very narrow and not much longer - great for small 1940's/50's cars....
The Field Marshall decreed that the kitchen and bathroom would be the priority before I could even think about a new garage, but all that seemed in the distant future anyway....disappointing as I used to have 4 sheds with undercover parking space for up to 12 cars, 4 bikes, a tractor and a skiboat, as well as heaps of storage.
Just dreaming I got a quote anyway for the largest shed the Council would allow - 8m x 5m, which came in at $9,980 installed on a slab which I thought was a great price but was again reminded of the 'inside' priorities.....bugger.
The next week I won $10,000 on a radio quiz show!! This was accepted as an omen that the shed should proceed and the green light was on....
Here are some pics looking back on the yard as it was, with the garage on the left and two small plywood potting sheds at the back.
