Comment on I built a table for my porch
Anticorp@lemmy.world 3 months agoThat is glorious! We’re actually in the planning stages right now to build a 12x10’ gardening shed to get all this shit out of our garage, and then I’ll have a spot to park, and I can move the truck out to have a spot to work. We’re going to the hardware store tonight to get some tools, and I’m waiting for the plans my wife ordered to be delivered tomorrow. Then we’ll buy the lumber, clear the space, and I’m going to build the shed.

That sounds excellent! Be sure to post it here when complete.

Will do! I’ve never built a shed on my own before, but I framed houses for a living for about six months in my late teens, and worked as an industrial carpenter before that. I think I’ll be able to do it without issue, but my experience is from like 25 years ago, so we’ll see. The parts that have me most worried are the floor and the roof, especially the roof.

The above shed was built by my father when I was a zygote. I was born just before it was complete. He made himself a little wood shop and built a few pieces of furniture into the early 90’s, then life kinda happened and nature kind of took it. You may notice in the picture some of the 2x4s look a lot newer than others. We heavily remodeled it a couple years ago into what you see today, took it down to the studs, cleaned it up, Tyvek, siding, roof sheathing, and shingles. It was that year’s major project.
