I've got inlaws who are in the building trades (a bricky / concreter and carpenter) unfortunately they both live too far away to be of any help to me in my ROR project.Dammit.

I kinda suspected you might be a builder or in the building industry.

I may copy your pier bolt support / spacer arrangement when I get my footing laid , I'll likely abandon the offground timber platform concept as it looks like the materials costs and work involved is too much and I'll go with a slab surrounding my footing instead.

Will probably be easier and cheaper for me to stay with a timber framed bullding and roof with timber trusses, making my own wall frames from pine , and paying someone to make my 3 gable trusses (so they'll be done right !).

My ROR shed is going to be prosponed while I sort out lightening my OTA by going to a Carbon Fibre DIYS tube , since I've still not recieved the quote to have my CF tube made by that mob in Perth and I think labour costs wll be significant in paying someone to make a custom CF tube.

Bathroom carpet (nylon carpet with a rubber backing) might the go for a deck or softening a concrete slab (things sometimes get dropped in the dark).
