looks solid. the bottom of the door might be awkward for a shed if you want a smooth floor, it does look like it needs a frame along the bottom to mount to. consider that in your wall design.

Cu gutter $12/foot. Aluminum is $3 or $4 per foot. So it was gratuitous to be sure. But I had the budget and it got me to the free delivery threshold. First time with a rain barrel, it does look nice, and I hope it is useful for watering the garden. Lots of flowers that are not irrigated...

Some finishing touches today after a few days of rain. Door sweep for the bottoms: Barrel bolts, top and bottom. on the left door: Coin floor in sandstone [you can see in image above] Door holders, ended up getting a magnetic set. works pretty good so far I finished painting today...

Update: Roof shingles and gutter successfully installed. Shingles were the same make and color as our house from a few years back, OC Duration in Black Sable. This was really enjoyable to lay down on top of the ice & water shield that had been keeping her dry for a couple weeks. I hand-nailed...

Big update, my dad visited for a couple days and helped out HUGE with the shingles and gutter. I'll share more when I have some time to write, but gotta go back to work. Monday's, right? J-O-B. to afford things like sheds, tools, copper gutter piece... ;)

Do you have some pictures of this design? This sounds like a much FASTER way if you wanted to go that route. I had some 1/2" plywood leftovers that I almost added inside to the door "sandwich" but that seemed overkill. It certainly would have looking back. We know sheet goods are great for the...

Update: Doors and trim are up! Great success. There was a good chance to parallelize a couple tasks last weekend. First, I laid out all the trim and gave them a first coat of paint. I used Benjamin Moore AURA exterior paint, in Fresh Brew color, which matches our house trim. Definitely use 1/2"...

Been raining almost 3 days here. Multiple inches. Besides the fact there's no door on the Shed, it's been bone dry. So thankful for the weather during last weekend's build days. This has given me time to re-think the door design. . Here's where I am at. picture below. Green = 2x4 laid on the...

Didn’t get to the doors today. Wife and I cut and nailed soffits. Cut a lot of trim including the windows Will document the doors as that will be a process !

Siding painted. Ended day 2 about here … tomorrow doors and trim and more paint. Will share lots more when I have time to write.

Day one complete. My buddy Cameron on the right. All walls, rafters, and blocking complete. And fascia! Tomorrow = roof sheathing, wall panels, and .. not sure what’s next, didn’t expect to be this far on day one.

i'll touch up the trim screws at the very end. the floor decking, it's 3/4" plywood. i think i overdrove them but not concerned. please, by all means, any tips along the way from anyone is welcome. even if I don't see it, this thread will help the next builder.

3/8” spacing. Here is from LP, their corporate blog: “Closing the Gap: Installers can provide flashing but mistakenly rest the siding on top of the flashing, which can prevent moisture from escaping. Remember to provide a 3/8-inch gap between the flashing and the bottom edge of the siding...

Thanks for shim tips. Here’s the floor… just waiting for the next fun.

I have a box of popsicle sticks I could use to raise off siding — what do you think? Also, I saw one picture where the siding was shimmed out at bottom to kick it out a bit. Thoughts ? Picture update attached. Wife helped me pin the skirt trim. Nice ! And very glad to install that wire mesh...
