IT'S taken more than a year of planning and construction, but the San Remo community men's shed is now ready for use.
The $84,000 shed will be a place where men can learn new skills, teach others and become more involved with the local community.
GOOD TURN: Kim Hopkins, Lloyd Amery and Rob Giles

"We're hoping to provide a venue where men can come together and bond while helping the community," Central Coast men's shed cluster co-ordinator Kim Hopkins said.
"We want to give local men an alternative to either pubs or clubs as a place to socialise," Ms Hogan said.
The shed's construction was paid for from the State Government's Natural Disaster Relief Fund, while the San Remo Neighbourhood Centre will look after its administration.
Ms Hogan said the shed would be useful if the area was again struck by natural disasters.
"We were able to secure the funding mainly because in the event of another natural disaster the shed will become a place from where we can administer help," Ms Hogan said.
San Remo men's shed joins Kincumber, Ettalong and Terrigal men's sheds already in operation.
