How does it look/feel? I've got a plywood floor I'll need to do myself...

WHEW! What a three day run... Wednesday - I had the trusses delivered. The ladder looked about 2' too large, but I called the company and they explained that the ladder actually screws into the first regular truss, not the gable end... Then it extends over the edge of the garage and...

Yup. Instead I have 8'4.5" walls! More storage space. Had to cut some more sheathing to fit but wasn't difficult.

Definately going with 5/8s. How do you know? lol Must be a learning point in this story... You have a suggestion for location of vent? So for my top plate, I've butted two 2x4x8's together on the long span... When I scribed the 24" OC's on it, I noticed that one truss will land directly...

This wire, just in a much smaller purchase ~loL~ I've heard that about the netural bus in the panel... I'm going to have an electrician come in and do the hook up, I'm just going to do the manual work of trench digging and running the cable and such...

No slab... concrete block...

Hey guys, currently building a 16x12... Here's the link to my build so far... So I was wondering about running electrical... 10/3 from 30A main panel in house, out to shed via pvc conduit 18" underground, to subpanel in garage with 2 20A breakers... 1 for lights, 1 for outlets. I do...

Monday: Reframed the one window that was too high, and framed the second window. Managed to put up 1/2 of the double top sill before I had to catch some Z's for night shift... Trusses on Wednesday! Weather forecast is now only 40% chance of rain, clear Thursday, Friday and Saturday. If...

I was wondering about that... Will consider it. Not like it's difficult or expensive to do... Will seek some more input. That being said, thought I'd move on to something a little fun for a bit... Organize/design the inside! :D I've attached a quick mock-up... Wondering if folks have any...

A buddy at work mentioned that my shed doesn't have any horizontal 2x4's between the studs for support... In all my books I don't see a single plan that shows this being done. Is that old school? Not required for a shed this size?

Fences can be on the property line... Also limited to 6'. Thanks for the compliment, it was my first wood fence and a lot of work! Residential Accessory building overhangs have to be 16" away minimum from property line... I'm hearing differing opinions on thickness for the roof...

Shed Walls are up! Well, mostly... Goof 4351: I goofed with the height of the front window... Made it to high. Will lower it to 48" (from the floor) Monday... 2nd window already at 48". Goof 4352: Walls are now 8'3, due to the fact I used the true 2x4x8's instead of the 2x4x7'9 boards, or...

Yes, I know... But similar to OP, I'm not that confident in my measuring/fab abilities to construct trusses that won't end up badly... ~lol~. For $500 delivered (canadian) I'm getting my 7 trusses, 2 gable ends and ladders.

So far so good. I'm sitting at under $1,000 so far but the site is done and the base with its expensive PT wood is built. Trusses another $500 plus wood for the walls and plywood should be another $500. That'll leave $1000 for shingles and siding

I'm getting the trusses prefab... 7 trusses plus gable ends and ladders, delivered will set me back about $450 Canadian... Hopefully if the weather holds out, walls will go up this Thursday and Friday... Trusses delivered the following week with a truss/roof/shingling party being held over...

Same size, different build! Rookie as well http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=301615

Whew... So an update... I've pulled down the old shed, and removed the debris that was "fill". Blocks and chunks of granite and concrete. The 16' 12x12x12's, plus a tree trunk, and four tree trunks used as posts.... Plus the stump of a tree I had to remove. Anyways, it's all gone...

Spent the last two days cleaning out the mess under my future foundation. Removing huge slabs of concrete and bricks and roots and trees. My god what an effort. And I lol at the whole and it feels like I haven't made any progress but I know I have. Hopefully tomorrow I can build the...

Hey bud! I do that as I take them, as well as updating my imgur. I'm also posting some stuff to reddit so it just makes it easier. I removed most of three walls and then used my 15,000 recovery strap attached to my F150 to haul the beast down. Went better than expected. Didn't damage...

16x12 with 8 foot walls, with a full 82x36' entry door... No fancy gable roof or anything, just a common 4/12 pitch. The door will be a steel door, with reinforced jambs... The windows will have decorative security bars... Unfortunately due to where my house is situated, we often get transients...
