Our backyard came complete with an unused cement pad, so I decided to slap a shed on it. A pre-fabricated shed from Costco wasn’t going to cut the mustard, so I dug into the local building codes and started penciling out a plan for a slanted roof shed. Drawings led to trips to the lumber yard, which led to power tools, re-measuring, and way too many nails. Three months later our shed was almost done, and I could have written a book with all the learning I picked up along the way.
Let the framing begin!
Dan, Dan, the wall builder man.
Clamps are a life saver.
It's turning into a shed, I swear.
Frame wall is done!
Had to have some help lifting up the front wall with framing for the windows. Blue tarp shed is becoming jealous.
Adding in the plywood walls.
If I stop now, we may not like it when it rains.
Rain protection getting slightly better.
Roofing nail gun for the win! Rain, rain, go away.
It's taking shape!
Setting up for a little interior paint.
What's a shed without a little recycled cabinetry? And finally some room for a dart board.
Put together some custom shaker style doors with wood paneling.
They fit, somehow...
The shed has become a gym.
Painting is less fun than it sounds, especially after taping.
Added accent panel boards underneath the roof to hide the rafters.
Instead of traditional siding, I went with an exposed cedar boards in a chevron pattern.
After 1 month of staring at TYVEK wrap, I finally started the siding install.
Siding install coming along!
More pictures to come!
Not too bad with a fresh coat of paint!
