Building a "She" Shed

Sweet! :laughing: Leave it for the next folks.

Interesting, but you will never see it again when it is finished.

That kind of stuff doesn't happen when you have a back hoe...!

And the deck joists laid out and a few more windows in. View attachment 578511

How are you going to run your decking? If you go from the building and out, then you have the joists going the wrong way. If you are going to run them parallel to the building, how are you going to deal with the decking being too short for a continuous run? With wood, I cut the ends at 30 degrees so they overlap and the ends disapear. With plastic, I always used put a board 90 degrees at the end, but it doesn't look like your joists are going to accommodate that.

Bob, the skeleton, was a find at Walmart last week. Halloween stuff on sale. I saw this gag a long time ago and thought it was funny. Yes it is only for whomever tears it down or decides to crawl under.

The wife has made the decking complicated and very expensive. We ended up with a Trex knock off. Wife wanted a "pattern" so she bought a bunch of 8 and 12 foot sticks and we are cutting them to fit (4fts, 8 fts, 6fts). A simple one day job will take us 3 if we are lucky. We are running parralel to the building (will have photos tomorrow). Eddie, are you talking making an "edging" with the boards T'd up to another board running around the edge / perimeter? I suggested that to the wife, she says she has plans on how she is going to finish the edge so it runs up to the edge. I thought your way would look nicer but I am so tired of fighting the fight.

I will get some daytime photos tomorrow... decking is almost done, wife wanted to get some lights inside so she did that today while I took care of projects I had been putting off.

Steel sheds are the go here. Very quick to erect as well. This is similar to what I will be putting up one day.

 

[EddieWalker]

Your wife can do it all!!!

So here are the latest... I helped put up the remaining windows, she handled the lighting and insulation inside... A bit of deck to finish, and then the patio roof.

Hey Carl, what is the brand of the door? I like the side panel and actually am looking for one similar... but with two side panels.

It’s a Millgard. Craigslist find. Someone’s remodel didn’t go their way.

Nice score. But still can’t show this thread to my better half!

I think that this is the best way to look for stuff: french door with sidelites - Google Search

It is an image search.

Looking good, Carl !

So we are at the halfway point on this project. Roofing, Siding, The porch roof. Today is bill paying day. Please remind me the next time I drive by home depot and go "Woof, that shed is $8,000, I bet I can build something for less" just kick me out of the truck and make me walk home. I will post a budget. And granted, my wife has expensive tastes but wow, this got expensive quick.

 

[Wakey]

It looks awesome though.

Thanks X! This is very helpful for design options... I was searching by window brand websites and not doing well.

Yeah but the quality won't be the same. I think the main plus to going that way is it's a bit harder to add all the extras to the Home Depot one so they may not get installed. So that's a plus or a minus depending on how you look at it.

The quality will not be there, it will not fit your need as exactly and your wife will not happy as she is now!
