Parcel 6 Building A Shed

 Just got news from our new partner that the Land and Mines department are sending their surveyor to resurvey the land soon as we need to settle the land dispute on the border. We quickly mobilize our forward team to quickly build a shed so that the surveyor can have a place to camp for a couple of days. We were also instructed to provide 40 pieces of hardwood, berlian, of about 2 feet long for Parcel 6 and 7 to be used as peg to mark the border. Thankfully we have some fence post of hardwood around and we just cut it to size.

 We sent in out materials, mostly re-cycled to the site which we had prepared when we cleared the land. It is located on the non-dispute lot. We had made a small clearing, enough for a shed and a place to do U-turn for the pick up.We quickly decided to do a shed of 10' X 15' basing on the estimated materials that we have. We start off by marking the foot print and check for squareness. As we only have a ladder, the pick up were also used as one.

 We dug in for about 2 feet to put up the four corner post. We then put up a cross beam to hold the corner post. We made the roof on a minus 1 foot and shall use the roof to collect rain water. The soil at the corner post were rammed tight to secure it.

 We secured more cross beams. Once it's strong enough we can proceed to fix the zinc roof, as we need to go on top of it. Need to "pull" it back as it ran off a bit due to those re-cycled wood, not truly straight.

The roof was then put up. We then wall up the sides with zinc, leaving a door and a window.











The roof gutter was then put in place.










We set up the water tank on some tree trunks as stand.

We had almost finish the shed, which we also plan to use as a storage and temporary shelter when we stay over night here. The minor touch up, we shall leave it till we "move" in. This shed were built without any drawings and just with simple field tools like handsaw, hammer and a measuring tape, on mostly re-cycled material.
