I did not even put my decorations up yet and it's almost December. I always end up being caught up with some kind of project and don't really enjoy the season. It's Pretty much Christmas time, I just want to take that time to relax and wind down. I do plan to put another layer of plywood though. Worse case scenario I leave it as is, but that's going to be a lot of water just sitting there. Might paint it, if I broom it very good to get rid of the snow and then wait for a day it does not snow I can probably get away with using oil based paint or something. Just need to protect the floor from rain and spring snow melt. Days are short.ĭebating on calling it quits for the year. Then I also had to do the actual driveway. (yesterday they were just kinda hanging there temporarily since I had to stop early)ĭownside of working in winter is having to shovel before I can even start/get to the work site. Not that much done in grand scheme of things today, but the shed walls are done, squared off, and solid. Having coffee before I go out to brave the storm. With global warming it rains even in winter now, which sucks. I need to at least get it to a point where it's protected from the rain though. Thinking of calling it quits for the year as having to shovel snow every time I want to work on it is going to make the job that much harder. We got about a foot of snow if more, so going to have to shovel before I can even continue. I'm also going to have a double top plate, will tie the walls together as well. I actually messed up when I installed the side walls, I thought I missmeasured when I built them because there was a huge gap so I just moved the walls forward but then forgot that gap was for the other wall to fit in! So I do need to move a few things around. The front wall that's not there yet will butt up against the two walls. I can still screw the walls together from the inside though. Though I did it so that if I want to sheet the inside I have a corner to butt to. Kind of looking forward to this as it will be so nice to clear out the garage and start organizing stuff.Ĭan't really tell from the pics but I sorta did that, though your way looks better than what I did, I just put another stud in same orientation slightly offset so the corner is inside. If I don't run into any issues and all my measurements were right and that everything lines up and is square, hopefully I will be able to get that done.

With walls and trusses done, the rest will require that it stops raining until the roof is done, so I am hoping to install the walls, trusses, and sheeting in one day, and tar paper the roof and house wrap the walls. I need at least 2-3 consecutive dry days so I can finish it. Suppose to be below zero for most of the other days which is what I need. I have a good stretch of time off coming soon and it's only suppose to rain 1 of those days (but 1 day of rain tends to turn into a week of rain) so I'm hoping that holds true. Our winters start later every year which has been an issue as I just want it to go below zero so it can stop raining.
So waiting for a day off where it's dry out is like waiting for planets to align perfectly. This project has been going on since like September, because it just won't stop raining when I'm off. Any electronics would probably be in their own smaller insulated enclosure as well but this would add a secondary thermal barrier. I can then do the walls later if I decide to. Can't insulate the floor after the fact so did it right away. Main beams in place, getting ready for joists:įrom this point on covered it every day because of rain:ĭoing this a little overkill by insulating it but I may potentially want to put some electronic equipment in there at some point like a solar setup and a backup NAS or something.

I have lot of smaller projects such as new computer desk that I've been wanting to build for a long time but it's hard when the garage is full of stuff. I want to insulate and put hvac so I can use it all year round. My attached garage (where lumber is in now) has been acting as a shed, but I want to use the garage for a shop for woodworking etc so my goal is to build this shed, store stuff in it, then start working on the garage. Decided to go with a floating design so nothing is anchored but it allows me to move it if ever I want to. I can shim it as it settles and hopefully eventually it will pretty much stay put. I originally was going to drill piers into the ground and try to go below frost level but cheated by just doing blocks. City allows max of 108 so figured I'd play it safe. The shed is going to be 8' x 12.5' which gives me exactly 100sqft. This is a work in progress as I keep getting delayed by rain, but figured I'd start posting progress here as I go along.
