Hanger Slab

At the same time I was trolling the web I spotted an advertisement for the Rylstone Air-Park and speaking to Ron Loneragan about Lot 49, and I was impressed by his plans and the future of the Air Park. The real game changer was the land is Torrens Title - I own the property. 

What do you do when you rent the land and are told to leave with the slab and building? 

Answer: Leave.

My wife and I looked at the numbers, and if we rented 3 bays it added up as an investment, and the Tucano had a home with friends. After much talk, design and finally quotations the money began to flow. In the end, we squeezed an 18 mm x 14.5 deep hanger from Maxi Sheds onto the block while still meeting the Council and Airpark rules.

Construction began in October 2013 using a local contractor AYR Concreting. Mick was a gem helping me pick up my schedule making up for lost time with the plans.  We were afraid the Council approval could take 4 additional weeks, and it was decided to set up the formwork before approval. And this was done in mid-October by Mick.

Big is it not..!

The Council surprised everyone and had the approval through in 2 weeks, so we were now back on schedule but had to get some critical brackets for the pour from Maxi Sheds. After more emails and more money they were to dispatched by courier in mid-November with the shed for delivery on the 29/11/13 - this is tight if not impossible for the building trade and erection is due to start on the first week of December - does not look good.
