Our shed is being built in a very strong configuration. It has steel beams on a concrete base with poured concrete walls above which will be corrugated steel. It should withstand the winds we get, and it should outlive us by far.
They poured the concrete base for the walls yesterday. Today, they completed 1/4 of the concrete wall which goes to about 6 feet in height. So I assume it will take 4 days at least to complete the concrete walls, depending on how well they set overnight, as they are poured into a frame between the steel girders. A very interesting process.
Then, the team, and they are really impressive, will complete the top of the walls and the roof before the concrete for the floor is poured. That goes last.
Finally, we've decided that the topsoil dug out should be spread over the field to even it out as it has dips and recesses. That's I think the easiest solution. It won't look nice this year as well have to reseed the grass, but it will be ok in the long run.
I wonder how much it will all cost in the end.
The amazing thing is that you cannot see it from anywhere on the property except from above, in the vineyard and the field. You can't see any of it from the polytunnel, the house or the road. That's how well the trees we planted screen the land. Very proud of that.
Cannot wait to start moving stuff into the shed and out of my life.
