Nice job man. I'm doing up a new shop (basement) as we speak. Takin some time. 48 feet bench so far, pegboard to match. Equipment coming in. Lathe and mill soon. But the NODOR dart board is up

Slowly but surely...

Just enough scattered sprinkles today to be annoying...

Need pics!

Yes... I'm slow. Have to get my regular work done before I can work on the shed.

Built this in two section to be able to lift it myself. Mrs MO helped push the bottom in and nail gunned it down.

Double checking my process and measurements for the rough in door.

Used this website as my guide for the double check.

Frame a Door Rough Opening - Fine Homebuilding

They give the measurements for an 80 inch door at 82 ⁵/⁸ inches above the subfloor.

My door, a habitat for humanity special, is 78 ¹/⁴. So plus 2 ⁵/⁸ is 80 ⁷/⁸.

There width is door width plus 5 inches to inside king studs.

I apparently used a different website when I laid this out but it's close enough.

I'm at 80 ⁵/⁸ hgt an 5.5 width.

Trusses hanging.

Uuuummmmmm, when you're done............

 

[Shawnee_b]

You done yet?

 

[Missourian]

You done yet?

Not yet... got all the trusses up and the hurricane clips on.

Hardest part of the day was was putting up the plastic. Going to rain for 20 hours.

 

[Missourian]

You done yet?

How's your project coming?

 

[JohnDB]

Did you buy your trusses or did you make them. Last time I did it I made a jig and loaded it up to make my trusses.

 

[Concerned American]

Can't...unless I want to make it much smaller or get the city involved. Any permanent stucture over 8 feet x10 feet must be permitted, built to code and inspected. I try very hard to keep the city out of my business.

They had a similar law about permitting and concrete many years ago when I lived in CA. We found we could get around permitting by framing 3' X 3' squares (therefore portable) In your case, you could frame a 12' X 21' floor in a 4 X 7 grid of 3' X 3' squares leaving the cross framing in place.

Thanks Synth. I didn't even know Costco sold sheds.

But I'm committed now. Plus...if it works out I'll build it so I can enlarge it in the future. But I appreciate the advice.

Home Depot sells shed kits as well, but I think they might be comparable in price to your project or possibly a bit more.

 

[Missourian]

Had to buy another piece of osb...$45... Almost a 50% increase. I paid $31 for the same 4x8 sheet a few weeks ago and thought that was outrageous.

Anyhow... roof sheathing is up.

You can get something comparable for just a few hundred more through Costco.com when they are running sales. Unless you just want to do your own. Thanks Synth. I didn't even know Costco sold sheds. But I'm committed now. Plus...if it works out I'll build it so I can enlarge it in the future...

Here's where the ceiling vents can get cut in.
They aren't hard to install or expensive Just make sure that they are square to the board which is square to the joists and building.

Then when you tarpaper the roof before you shingle it will be easy to trim everything to fit up close so it stays watertight and waterproof. The hole can be ugly...it won't be seen by anyone but you on the inside if you bother to look at it again.

But it's fairly easy to cut out using a router with a flush bit after drilling a hole. (Especially for the windows)

Nice shed mon. Bulding material expense has gone insane.

 

[Missourian]

Ends and soffit almost done.

Noob finally realized a framing hammer is exactly 16 inches.



And the table router did work on this 3/8 manufactured panel to make a new shiplap when I cut off the wrong side.
