Yes, you're probably right, but you have to admit aren't they just adorable? A pair of No9 Arty tractors, one Chev, one Ford.

Yes, absolutely pug-ugly beautiful they are, at that

...shucks Keefy, I have a big lump in my throat right now! Onya mate, ya got me with that one!

It is a suprisingly tight fit - the little box on the roof of Euan's CGT has only about an inch clearance on the beam. I nearly tried to drive mine in with the AALMG mount! That would have been funny... not!

But there's something harmonious in the scale of the building with the trucks, isn't there.

Keith..
Who engineered the roof loads on that shed..??Did he engineer in a snow load calculation..??

An Explanation of Rain, Rain-On-Snow, and Snow Loads Regarding Pre-Engineered Steel Structures

A complete understanding of precipitation loads is fundamental for any discussion of pre-fabricated structures, especially in areas that receive abundant precipitation. Design Snow Load portrays the maximum probable weight of snow that can be present on a roof at a given time. The expression of live load is very dependent on building and building occupancy, but snow load correlates specifically to location on the building. The design snow load amount is affected by the accepted ground snow quantity in any sector. One has to be sure that a proper ground snow number is applied in order to come up with the proper design snow load regarding a chosen steel building. These considerations include flat roof snow load, the ground snow load number, and also exposure and thermal computations. Calculations are subsequently revised for steeper slants of roofs.

The impact of air movement as well as melting are able to displace an amount of rooftop snow, causing the ground snow load quantity to be greater than any roof snow load quantity. There exist other common weather events, such as snow sliding or snow drift, which should be added into all totals. The snow load atop a lower structure’s roof should be boosted when there is a high pitched roof that exists which allows snow to slide downhill. Any build up of snow next to parapets and walls might develop into a concern. A greater amount of snow load should be added into this plan by taking all roof square footage and parapet and wall elevations into consideration. The amount of snow load can be four times more than is generally required for a lower roof that connects to a building wall over which a higher structure’s roof contributes sliding snow.

Better get it done before the next ice age..
Looks so flimsey that 'ROO POO is at ground level,luckily..

Hi all
Reading these last few posts it sounds as though our Canadian friends have a common problem called sun deprivation syndrome.

"Through the ages, people have been affected by the change of seasons. Winter's darkness commonly brought sadness, irritability, lethargy and even social withdrawal to many.

In today's world, not only seasonal changes but also changes in work shifts, jet lag, and lack of sunlight can affect a person's natural biological cycles and moods. Research documents the effects of the sun deprivation and terms the resulting behavior "seasonal disorders."

We're all affected by these changes, some far more than others. For a very small number of people, fall and winter can become a period where they are incapable of leading normal lives.

In treating seasonal disorders, clinicians have discovered that therapy with full color spectrum light can have beneficial results on biological cycles as well as state of mind".

This information was gleaned from Lovebyrd.com a community for disabled singles.

Us Aussies currently sweltering under 40c temperatures don't have this problem. The only problem we have is

And tell me again when I was ever "normal"...?

No, I know where the Canadians are coming from on this. I had to have Snow Loads calculated for my shed. Apparently we are in one of the only 3 Local Council areas in Australia that demands Snow Load calculations for structures. The suppliers from Sydney couldn't even spell snow, and had to refer to the manuals to beef up the design. And Wind Loads (Cyclone, no less!), Mines Subsidence Board Geological report and various sundry bribes, err, fees to most Surveyors, Engineers and Contractors living in a 12.7km radius. Still, the clearance under the beams is a nice 3.0m, (strangely excessive for the Wife's car) and the engineering for the Snow Load means that I can hang 1 tonne off the beams!

HA, HA, HA! While it was being put up, I made the poor Sydney fitters work IN THE SNOW! They still don't know how to spell it, but now they know what it is!

#21 04-01-08, 11:11

Wow Tony ... for some reason I thought you lived in a more country type setting with a lot of distance from neighbors. You're right smack in town it looks like ... so great you can have your vehicles there!!! Don't ask me where I got that idea, because I don't know

Yappy

Tony Smith · #22 04-01-08, 11:12

While it's still not finished (Gates, Wall fill panels, lighting + power

), some thought went into it's dimensions to ensure that I can fit 2 Blitzes, a Carrier and a Bofors, and the 250mm of 32mPa concrete slab will support a Centurion, if only I can persuade the Wife not to park there.

Keith Webb · #23 04-01-08, 11:14

Looks great.

Do you think I maybe need to add an extra bay to mine now?

There's the C60S and F15 to fit along with Belinda's Golf.

Tony, way to go! So that's what was intended for all that space...

Bob: Reference Loopy time in Canada...

What about Loopy time downunder?...

On the west coast, I see foaming seas pounding onto the shores...(passing cargo ship discharging its ballast of Vic Bitter?)

Then I see fierce forest fires up north and raging floods down south near Tweedsmuir.

Cans't not your new PM ordain that the fires goeth to the floods, or vice versa?

I don't think so. Now the conservative government is no longer in power Kevin Rudd (new PM) has nobody to copy.

Hi Keith,why have snow loading specs for the roof when we are told that we are having global warming!!(yeh right!)

Bob Moseley (RIP) · #30 06-01-08, 00:27

We can blame all of the following on our new Labor Government.

North - cyclones
South - weeks of incessant heat
East - rain & floods (snow in Lithgow and apparitions thereof in Eltham)
West - raging bushfires
Centre - well nothing ever happens or changes there
Interest rates on the increase
Fuel prices through the roof
Workers strikes on the comeback and increase

But up here in God's country it is all a figment of our imagination. The trees are growing, the chooks are laying, Phoenix is slowly arising and we haven't run out of red wine yet.
