The Shed

Everyone loves a shed. Ours took over a year to build in fact it is not finished but it currently provides lots of shelter (albeit a bit windy), collects and stores electricity and water for both the interim and for the finished house by underground service, will house all the farm machinery and has a fully equipped fine furniture woodworking shop. 
And, best of all, it gives me an immense amount of pride.












Designed by me. Built by me, Errol and Guy McGovern (father and son) and Pete Sands from pole and sawn timber sourced on site and galvanised iron in true Nungatta style, it is very honest and appropriate for the site.

Viewing it from across the valley is a treat, delightfully sited, it feels like it was always part of this landscape.


Last week a satellite dish was fixed to the roof to provide us with internet. Now we are getting perhaps a little too fancy.
