Hopefully it helps to sell the house... Goodbye old friend

So after three years with the conversion, I'm moving. Now someone else can enjoy it. I just purchased a new house with a two car garage. However.... There isn't a workshop. So it all begins again. Come September there will be a 24' x 12' dream workshop shed build. More pics to come...

Well i started this thread and i thought it would be a good place to show off my build. Key features are: Steering wheel from a 46 Jeep Beer bottle holder (for daddy) Rock Wall Slide Swings Did i mention a beer bottle holder

Thanks for all the replies. I feel better about using the PT. I was planning to seal everything in a few months after its dried out. I'm probably going to go with the composite decking. I think it will look more "professional" with it anyways. I'll post some pics after I'm done.

I remember slicing my hands on the rusty one in my backyard...

I started to build a swing/playset this weekend out of pressure treated wood. Im starting to have second thoughts. I know they removed the arsenic around 2003, but who really knows... I just finished building the main support structure, I think I am going to use composite decking in the areas...

awesome!!!

How long is the span? What spacing did you use between buckets? I was planning on 20" between buckets and at least 18" from the A frame.

Im about to build a swingset / fort for my daughter. With the skillset on this board, some of you guys most likely build some badda$$ playground equipment. Show it off, and give me some ideas.

Actually my baby is only 6 months old and we arn't there yet. When she starts crawling, i may have to adjust the size of the openng using wood and some zip ties. My fingers are crossed, I think I could take about 3 inches out of the width of the openng without putting the cat on a diet.

I waited 24 hrs between coats, and I did a total of 4 coats. I usually lay the rag I used outside and when the rag is stiff its time for the next coat. Once the final coat was dried for a week, I finished it off with some clear wax. I love tung oil, its hard to screw up.

This is what i did. Obviousely mine was for an interior application. I also need the ability for an overweigt cat to get downstairs. I used maple and walnut and finished it with tung oil.

I might turn the left over one into a proper poker table:)
