Shed
Building this shed was a huge accomplishment, as it freed up a ton of space in my future shop. I had 5 things queued up behind completing this, and none could be started without a shed for all the stuffs. Pretty much anything with an outdoor application is now stored in this shed. This includes all the outdoor furniture for the winter time, with some hooks on the roof to hold 6 chairs up out of the way.
The height of the walls are 8’, with the peak of the gambrel roof at almost 13’ tall. (taller than the house) To adhere to setback limits, I decided to build at the max square footage of 120’.
Mike played another key role in this project, and even planned the cut list to result in minimal waste from cut-offs. (seriously, waste was less than a 5 gallon bucket!)
I did buy extra siding/trim for this shed, but, I haven’t quite finished it yet. Hopefully this is the year to complete all the siding and I can actually show the completion.
a few oak trees and one large pine that needed to go (the oaks were falling into eachother)
