Shed builder turned up while I was there today. Worked out really well he cleaned up all the rubbish and too it away. And the bonus was he helped me get my last two shelves up. One I was able to screw off and the other he helped me sit up on the second to last shelf. This means I should be able to get the last shelf screwed off on my own now. One thing he showed me was his newish rattler, man that thing has some grunt compared to my 10+ year old rattler. Tech in these things has come a long way, that's for sure.

To remove the risk of your shelfs toppling, because our impatience may result in us climb up the shelf to reach stuff on top, consider bolting the rear shelf legs to the concrete floor or strap the shelf to the shed frame.

All good the shelf columns are screwed to the wall girts.

Some more progress on the house over the last couple of weeks. Shed is almost finished, he just needs to replace a damaged sheet of iron and get the roller doors to sit a little closer to the slab.

No, the blue is the house wrap (sarking) and if you zoom in you can see the slab rebate where the external brick skin will sit ;)

Yeah brick veneer. Bricks are going up after roof it would seem.
It quite normal to load the frame up (with the roof load) before laying the bricks.

In brick veneer construction the frame holds the bricks in place (via brick ties) so it’s important that the frame be loaded first (so it’s sitting in it’s final position before bricking the walls.
