Written by Cris

The Kinglake Ranges Men's Shed Front Gate is now complete!  Measuring in at a whoping 6m wide and nearly 3m high, designed and built by the members.  The Gate depicts the hills of the Kinglake Ranges with a Sun behind.  Each supporting pole has a 'shed' on top that is wired with solar lights, so at night they light up and as you approach the gate further lights turn on.  If you are ever in the area or going past please check it out.

Underpinning & Retaining Wall Works Finished
Written by Cris
Thursday, 23 February 2012 19:51

The Shed has had a little problem for the last few months, its been sagging down one end.  The Committee organised an Engineer to come and take a look and we discovered that none of the footings at the front were actually touching anything solid, in fact they only went down into the fill !

Unfortunately, the initial inspection did not pick up any problems due to the massive growth of blackberries at the front of the property, it was only when we removed all the blackberries that the problem was discovered.

Not to be detered we set about getting some help with funds to complete the work.

Murrindindi Shire Council assisted in advocating on behalf with VBAF for special assistance funds and were successful in getting the underpinning fully funded.  Whilst the underpinning was being completed it was decided to also get the contractor to complete the retaining wall at the same time.  A big thank you goes to the Kinglake Trust Reserve who made a sizeable contribution to the retaining wall costs.

So now we have a building that wont sag anymore and a fantastic retaining wall.

Thanks again go to Murrindindi Shire Council, VBAF and the Kinglake Trust Reserve.

Glenburn Picnic Tables

The Picnic Tables made from Mountain Ash Slabs have been installed at the Glenburn Recreation Reserve.

The installation required a tandem trailer, flat bed truck and a forklift to complete.

The Mountain Ash slabs were purchased from #1 Creek Timber Mill (a community timber mill milling reclaimed Black Saturday trees) and the tables built by the Members at the Kinglake Ranges Men's Shed.

Huge thanks goes to all the Shed Members who were involved with this project, especially, Shane and Glen for the timber work and to John for the steel frame work.  Thanks also to Smiley and John for the use of the tandem trailer and truck, and a big thanks to Eddy of Eddy's Towing for the use of his forklift !

PS the supports you see are only temporary and will be removed when the concrete has set.
