The Iron Empire - $40K SHED BUILD - How I Did It! 

Being a professional builder what l can see that you have achieved , you would put a lot of so called builder's to shame . You have done a awesome job and should be very proud well done Mark.

Mate what a man cave. All your hard work is paying off. Well done Mark should be proud of yourself 👍🏼

Stumbled across your channel/episode yesterday, just wanted to say well done you should be proud of yourself. I consider myself a lot like you with your up-cycle DIY, and have a go attitude. I’ve learnt so much off RU-vid to help build my garage/mancave. I’ve subscribed now keep up the good work

Awesome. Every man needs a shed. There will always be things to finish, don’t worry about them. It’s a good feeling to know that you did it yourself and saved some coin. Well done. The house build will be exciting. Another great video. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

Bloody rippa place Mark, both the shed as well as the location. Great effort with doing it all on your own!

Something to be proud of mark. I’m jealous of the whole set up!

Awesome shed mate and a very nice property you have. Love the Adelaide hills. Thats my goal to have something like that on about 5-10acres with a shed for my toys and a little living quarters. My little getaway haven. Awesome work mate.

Hi Mark, you have done a great job with the property and should be very happy. The house will look great when it is all finished. Regards Jules. Jive Talking Garage

Remember golden fleece always liked seeing thier servo sign, good work and a sweet bit of land

Hit up Levett earthworks Kersbrook. Just over the hill 👍

Personally, i love it, plenty of space, not cluttered, beauty scenary, acre's of land for potential future projects, kitchen and bathroom👌❤️💯 Couldnt ask for more🙌

Looks fantastic mate. Exactly what the wife and I want to do in Tassie. 5 acres with great outlook, build a big shed for temporary living and workshop, build our dream home. Inspirational to see what you've acheived on a budget and with plenty of sweat equity. Thanks for sharing and the transparency on costs. Enjoy 🍻

An awesome shed. Beautiful views too.Thanks for the tour.

I put my shed up. Will do it again when I move. I put my hoist up outside. But I don’t work on nice cars. Outside means you don’t waste shed space and the do take up lots of space. I modified the hoist (2. Post) to also be able to drive the mower up on it and another jib to lift the bike up to get under it to service etc. awesome 😎 3rd jib for butchering sheep. So it’s a huge benefit to have the hoist outside. And yes I built my shed high enough for the hoist and made the slab thicker but then put the hoist up outside haha

Mark, dude, $11K supply for that is stunning bro. I just bought a 6x4 for $6K (with 1.8 sliding and window, skillion, 2.7 height, new mindyou) - the price of tin has gone thru the roof. good to see another bloody DIY out there mate, my fitout will be all DIY my solar gear just arrived this week too so it will be 100% off grid :) love your work mate.

Congratulations great job doing everything on your she'd you did exceptionaly well budget wise. One of the blokes I work with had a 12 X 6 meter she'd built and concrete floor was 50 k my sister in law lives on 20 acres at Forreston.they have stunning views as well .

Awesome to see Mark, you hunted down a bargain, networked with mates and put in a great effort for a brilliant work place (man cave). Something we all should do.

#shedgoals and #farmgoals in one..right there.!!! ❤ Love the set up Mark… 👌🏼

Hey bro you popped up on my feed, love the shed, love the fairlane too 👌 keep up the good work

awesome job man, you have given me the inspiration to tidy up my own shed and do some much needed work on it, thanks and keep churning out these vids there a pleasure to watch

Damn i’m jealous. Looks so good - perfect property and shed. House will be the icing on the cake

Goals right there, awesome work . Looking forward to future updates.

Killer shed, and once the house goes in it will be an epic spot to live, such a nice outlook there. It’s come a long way from the earlier video.

Man that looks great. It has a beautiful view & so nice & green. I love seeing other peoples sheds

Great shed you should be proud of what you have accomplished so far.

Quote of the day "Got until Im dead" my new fav thanks bro!

I take my hat off to you Mark! Great work, Great Position. 👍

Thanks for sharing your achievements Mark, done a great job, beautiful coutryside, i used to live in Kersbrook, been following from day one, looking forward to the house build & future episodes

Thanks Mark, I really enjoyed the conducted tour of your property and shed. Cheers

Looks great Mark. Nice and tidy and I loved the out side lunch area. Nice place to chill. Judge is getting big. I got my Staffy around the same time you got Judge. They grow so fast. Cheers mate.

Awesome shed, it's so satisfying doing stuff yourself no matter how long it takes. We'll done 👌

Love that view man, Keep at it. nice work

Love your motivation brah, once the house is done turn the bedroom area into a pool room with herbarium for a couple of snakes, always intriguing. You guys don't have the humidity like us qlders, but the aircon is the saving grace for sure.

What a great setup mate, I picked up second hand shed 12 x 9 for 5k 10 years ago same style but with sliding doors at one end. A couple of days too pull down and three weeks to put back up 😂. Wish I had another one same size now, never have too many sheds keep up the good work 👍

Only just come across this channel a few days back. I gotta say you got some sick car & that shed is dope AF. Love that Torana my mate had that same model back in the day. use to shred.

Yer bro up north got a garage now home. Insulation really need fast if livin in it. But works well.

You need to start on the weekender next and then eventually move up there permanently 👍👍👍 The shed is a beauty you have done real well with it

Great 👍 content Marc. Regards from William Mount Gambier South Australia 🇦🇺

Awesome job on the epic shed mate! Just finished building my own 10 x 7 shed and it was no small task . Total understand the work that goes into getting a project like this done🤙

All talking was fine Mark! Great tour, great man cave! Greater view! Very jealous!

Awesome vid Mark thanks for thr insight. You have done an amazing job and the price was mint we are building now and will come in at double that so you have definitely done well 👍👍

9 x 18, HOLY CRAP! DIY and upcycling a good way to keep those costs down. Well played 👌

Miss my shed great work! I love watching every Saturday morning

Good stuff love yr iron empire u have come along way well done man👍💪

What a mad pad Mark brilliant bloke 👌👍 You had a fair crack at it mate no one should be judging what you've done mate what a phenomenal view and property.. Great content as per normal mate awesome stuff Mark 👌👍

Fukin awsome! I'm planning on building a shed soon,but keep putting it on the back burner cause of cost,not that I've priced anything out yet,but I know ballpark figures, however,amongst other things you've mentioned, I'd never even considered overrun or damaged stock from suppliers. I only cottoned on to your channel, like,yesterday, but,for what it's worth,you've just won ya self another dedicated follower. Keep up the good work,ole mate.

I've just finished my UC Torana and I want your rims and tyres you have on yours. Are they 15x8's on the back. that's what I would like if you thought they fit ok. 7" on the front, $$s delivered to Bundaberg QLD. Shed building is one of the hardest games out there, sure anyone can build a shed, but doing it for a living and doing it right is a different story. I did it for about 20yrs and made good $$s doing it. I can tell you that you have done very well. Better than most I've seen over the years. My tip: find a local shed builder (not a house builder) have him measure up all the flashings needed to finish it off and polish up a few things. like the overhang eve you have. It's that last 10% when done properly can make all the difference. 2-3 days tops even if he doesn't finish, you'll know how to. Oh, and when you paint the roller doors, paint all of them don't try and match a colour and think they will look the same, and buy the best paints.

Darren I agree with you he has done a great job,I know what it's like to do it by yourself Mark great job.

The property and shed are awesome Mark, well done. I'm definately envious.

So good Mark. It's cool you have a crack at everything yourself and do an awesome job of it all.

That window works really well. What a view! 👍

Killer shed bro it's awesome to see, it's got a vibe too it, and what a nice valley your in. Top spot and it's coming together nicely

Well done Mark, very impressive. I enjoy your videos very much as well. Keep up the great work mate.

1#, shed envy is real. 2# don't see rural SA that green very often. Beautiful view from the new window. 3# 89 YZ is a keeper, you wheeling it outside while saying "ive got to throw out some junk" had me grabbing my car keys!

Looks good mate. Building my 10x10 at the moment can't wait to finish it.

Awesome mate. Cover the roof in 2nd hand solar panels and reduce your power bill, who knows if you put enough on the power company will pay you

You sir, are a legend. Thank you for sharing. Love your work Thank you 🙏🏽

I came here looking for diy shed inspiration. Mate. You have done an amazing job and my partner and I will watch all your videos and subscribe as I’m sure any content you make will be just as interesting. Very Well done.

Great shed bro, hope someday you get it all finished.

Awesome setup mate, your motivation and enthusiasm is very uplifting 👍🏻

Awesome shed brother be very proud 🤘😎 Keen to see what else you do with the property and shed! Be great when you have some hoists in there too.

Mate you are what I call “an achiever” that’s bloody brilliant My only suggestion would be on the old bench you probably want steel lining so you can have a Greasey oily component pull it out of the car and drop it on a bench and it’s basically a timber benchtop that’s been lined with 1 mm or less steel sheet so the oil doesn’t penetrate the bench…… You’ve even got Aircon The only other suggestion I would make and you know this already if you put in a two post Hoist you can now park one car from outside underneath and have one on the hoist so there’s not bad bang for your buck there either…… They’ve come right down in price Best shed I’ve seen in a long time mate keep up the good work Even a double bed for a bit of an afternoon delight with the Mrs

What a cool spread Mark, even though you think it's a bit rough, the up-cycling is the way to go these days and that adds character too. AND you have the satisfaction that you did it yourself ... that's the cool thing! Awesome stuff mate, fully jealous. Cheers TJ

Awesome shed well thought out, ticks all the boxes. 👍

Mark you should be so proud of urself, looks freaking awsome mate. Gave me some ideas for my shed(14mtrs X 8mtrs).👍

Great video Mark, such a beautiful part of the Adelaide hills. I have just built a shed on my property at Freeling it’s 9M x 9M it cost me 10K to buy 9K to concrete and 6.5K to build. So 25.5K and that’s without power and light yet! You have done amazing with what you have, so jealous mate.

Great Spot! I really like what you did with the place and finding it at a discount like that was a total score.

Awesome work Mark, fantastic and well thought out shed

That joints sick! Well done! That back roller door could become a diy down draft paint booth 🤔 Ps if you’re looking for a little solar pump to get water to the house for ya dam i can hook ya up 👌🏼

Should get Moondog to paint the iron empire logo on the front of the shed, would look pretty neat.

Dude just found your channels.. love the content.. also love your rotti.. keep up the good work legend

Great job mate. A space to be proud of. The countryside there looks beautiful. You can save heaps by looking for bargains and doing the work yourself. I love your DIY attitude. I’ve expanded to 3 sheds now, (20x12, 16x9 & 7x9) all built by myself to save money for the toys to put in them. It feels like more of an achievement when you can build your own shed too. Keep up the great work mate. 👍

Amazing spot, Amazing shed well done

Looking good, like the advice about cheap wood, never thought of that, always bought from Mitre 10 and Bunnings

Love it mate. You are motivating me right now!

Living the dream!!

Mate, well done. I would be super happy with a shed like that. You’ve done a great job. 👍

Very bucolic and tranquil !!

Well done. It might not be perfect but it’s functional and you can be proud of what you have achieved. Look forward to seeing more as time goes on.

Bro that’s my dream shed, good on you brother! Nice fire place and bed in case you gotta escape the misses for a night lol.

I love it brother looks like heaven on earth I want something just like it much enjoy your channel thank you for the great content may all your dreams be fulfilled

Love it mate, well done.

Looks Awesome, you have done really well,

Man !! That is definitely a sik shed !!! Love it!!

Lovely shed and property. I recently bought a decent size property at gawler and hope to have something similar

Sick shed on a nice block, i like the stance of that fairlane too👌

Great place and a great job you've done mate!! You should be very proud. cheers.

Such a wicked shed, and it’s cool that you have a small living space so if you need to really get after it or just need some space you have a place to crash.

You're in a grouse spot there, living the dream 👍

Well done mate I'm looking at getting an 8x12 shed as a kit with slab I'm over 30 grand love your channel 👍 always waiting for the next video thank you for your inspirations

Dave Lee sticker on the paint cupboard! Great work and content mate!

Well done mate that came up awesome looking forward to content from the shed ✌️

Cool shed mate. All looks really good! Sweet we sporty and yz too!

Old solid core doors make excellent work benches to mark
