Thread: My shed - from the ground up

That's it!!!

I can't take it anymore!!!

When boban's project started I thought that it would be years before he would have anything useable and functioning...

I steeled myself that I could see a reputable therapist who could work through my feelings of inadequacy and smallness, but gosh darn-it he is
looking like it could all come together soon!

I am now not going to a doctor when I don't feel well, but rather see a horticulturist because I have turned totally green now...used to be a little green with envy but now it is all consuming....for you see fellow woodies, I operate out of a 18' X 18' double garage and my shed would fit on Boban's mezzanine....D'oH!!!

I think superballs jackpotted to 30 million this week...best buy a few tickets I reckon....

Seriously Boban, half your luck sunshine! Us mere mortals will just openly gaze slack jawed and think if only...

Cheers,

Scott, try a single car garage. You tend to get creative or lazy. I am tending to the latter at the moment

I erected the internal partition which separates the boats from the workshop.

I have also constructed some stairs the cheap and easy way. Don't worry they are solid enough as they are connected directly to the frames. Greatest span is 565mm, so the 90mm stringers will do the trick. The tread and risers will eventually be covered with the floorboards I have. It is such a relief to walk up stairs as opposed to a ladder.

It doesn't feel like I am ever going to finish but I know I'm making progress. I just have to look at the photos and I feel better.

nice job boban,

maybe you should read some of these guys comments on making stringers see what they think of your idea that has worked perfectly.

you have some very very nice gear there hope you get round to firing it all up one day.

Thanks for the comments guys.

Gaza, the idea for the stringers is not mine. I actually saw it somewhere in a book or online. I can't remember which one to be honest. The stairs are very solid and I don't think I will have any problems given the minimal spans. If I didn't have them between the stud walls, I would have used a 140 or 150 which is the size that was used for the whole span.

I'm using the gear as I can, but not having the layout finalized is a bit frustrating. Can't complain though, its still better than the 6x3 garage I started in.

Boban,

Any progress on the shed build...would love to see or hear about your mega-build.

I am concerned about your shed being full already before it is even finished!!??

Great setup though...
