Hermetically Sealing the Shed.

Well, living in the Pilbara with the humidity and cyclonic rain, sometimes, I had always intended to completely seal the shed to eliminate drafts, vermin, liquid sunshine and of course those pesky little 'dust' particles that have a habit of getting in everywhere up here.

So, to hermetically seal the shed, it was several rolls of Gorilla tape to 'join' all the ThermalBreak insulation, and then Sikaflex to seal the slab to the ThermalBreak all around the bottom of the shed as per the below image of the northeast corner.

Next up, sealing the concrete floor...

New arrivals.

A couple of new arrivals from Trainbuilder. The AF and AX all brass car transport waggons. History and these classes of waggons can be found here: AA / AF - Motor Car Body Transport (pjv101.net) and here AX / VMAX - Motor Car Transport (pjv101.net).

A lot of protype detail can also be found here: AX Automobile Transport (victorianrailways.net). I'll upload some images of them soon...

Ceiling is in, or is that up?

Well, been a little distracted, but in the meantime the gyprock ceiling has been installed, completed with R3.5 insulation. Prior to that I spent a couple of evenings, late, after work throwing in some conduits with cables for the fans, light circuits, a couple of 4mm2 feeds for the air conditioning units and another 4mm2 for a future hot water service.

Just as well I did as a text from the gyprockers informed my they were rocking up on the Monday to start the lining out with the top hat.

A late finish Sunday completed my deal as I didn't fancy doing a third night up there and low and behold when I arrived home Monday evening, the top hat battens were all installed, and the insulation put in place! Talk about timing...

Then by the Tuesday evening the sheets had been put up. Come Thursday and it was completed and flushed ready for painting. Now the ball is back in my court to get the ceiling primed and painted...

I should take a current picture of the place cleaned up a bit!
