PostSubject: Wanted BUILDER for SHED with RETAINING WALL   Thu Oct 06, 2011 12:39 pm

Our house is on the downside of the road in our street which is on a slope. There is a slate retaining wall that holds back the hill from the edge of our carport and the road (approx 8 metres between road and carport).

So what we want to do is put a shed where the carport is BUT we want 1 or 2 of the walls of the shed to form the retaining walls to utilise as much space as possible. We know this could be an expensive option but cannot see an alternative to making best use of the space.

Our problem is we don't really know who to go to for advice or quotes for this type of job. People who just sell sheds are not very helpful because it is not something they do so they are reluctant to send business elsewhere.

So forumites, please help. If you have had similar work done and can recommend anyone or have family or friends who do this type of work please let me know.

As the girls on here will understand, I desperately need to get the OH out in a shed ASAP. We have no storage area so after 10 years of sanders, drills and other tools cluttering up the spare room, I am over it. I need somewhere to send him when he is underfoot and I want to hit him with one of the claw hammers he has left lying around.

Please help me. Sad

I nearly choked on a biscuit when I read about the chicken. God, I am still cackling away, so funny. And I just bought 2 chickens to make curry. Could put one in the freezer now and would be ready when he gets home from work and I still get to make curry. This could be the best day ever.

I'm still laughing and there are tears in my eyes. OGM you have made my day.

I have used Josh Hudson, who is a carpenter/handyman/builder and a good problem solver. His number is 0406584750.

He has done quite a bit of work for me - mainly carpentry, but also putting up walls and fixing roofs. He is clever and willing to find solutions. He is not a stonemason, though ....
I've been very satisfied with his work.

He is at Aldinga Beach. I have PM'd you also.
