@Squashfest81 very cool what you've done with your shed workshop! The added height makes a huge difference, and seeing the various projects you've taken on gives me hope for making a similar workspace with my own shed. I have a question from back when you supported the shed and lifted it to add...

Some updates on progress: When working on replacing trim I found this on the front right corner which correlates to the side getting damp after rain. No silicone on trim so I’m thinking water can be running in behind the trim and into this void. With the windows in and running a fan I would...

There’s no choice in the matter - she’s been serving as my site supervisor (and food quality control) for over 13 years, always wants to be where I’m at which is the best “problem” to have!

Thanks all for the feedback, I figure step one is to address and minimize any moisture issues and get some ventilation. I used mold and mildew cleaner on the stained side and it actually cleaned up nicely. I’m going to leave that siding for now until I decide if I’m adding some height to it...

This is another great point; a 3D printed part will be weakest in the direction normal to the printed layers (if printing in x and y, the z axis would be the weak point in a tensile load). This can be overcome as long as you understand what the part you're designing may see from a load...

@kbuhagiar I think this sums it up perfectly; having software such as Fusion 360 or SolidWorks will give you a giant advantage if you know or are ready to learn how to use CAD. If not, you still have a large library of parts you could find online but given you want to print parts for automotive...

While this entire build is impressive, this is what stands out to me - absolutely phenomenal! Not having to take a loan and doing this out of pocket is inspiring, great work and looking forward to see the rest of the story unfold.

Understood - for now no plans to heat/air condition space, although I should consider it if and when I run power. No power currently, the shed is approx 50ft from the house so not sure if I want to run power or try to do a solar/battery setup. I like the idea of a fan, and would be open to...

To be honest I’m not sure, when I bought the house this was already here. It’s an “Old Hickory Buildings” shed, based on their site looks like sealer and paint are options but the receipt stapled to the inside of it doesn’t show anything regarding sealer or not. I’ll see what can be done to...

This is a good point and shared by many of the responses; I’m leaning towards living with existing height to simplify things. Agreed - if raising the roof my plan would be to disassemble roof and walls. Being that far I’d likely want to look into the base and framing to see how they look and...

All, I have an existing 10x12 shed that I’d like to spruce up and use for a small workshop and storage for my automotive tools. The eventual plan is to build some form of carport/workshop on my property but that’s not in the cards at the moment. The shed is a 10x12 Amish shed, metal roof with...

That is a funny coincidence! 5 bays is definitely more space than I could even imagine having, seeing as now I have zero. With that said, maybe it could be useful to approach this as an outdoor entertainment area first (open carport/gazebo) then if/when funds and time allow look into closing it...

Did you get any further along with this idea? I've been looking at/considering something like this (albeit much smaller) for my property, like you I've had a hard time finding many examples so I'm definitely interested to see what you decide to do. Obsessed Garage on youtube has a video where...

Sounds like you had a great father's day, that squirt gun should be a lot of fun for playing with the kids and the "Dad Force One" is pretty funny! Sometimes the best weekends are the ones that aren't productive, glad you found the time to rest and recharge.

You mentioned ability to move the shed down the road, one thing to keep in mind is whether a company will move a tuff shed for you; grain of salt, I don’t have any firsthand experience with this but when I was looking into tuffshed apparently some movers won’t move them - something to do with...
