My Father needs a new shed.

[Georgeinidaho]

Today I have finally been able to acquire the last materials for my project. A 10 x 12 shed for my father. He has a small 6 x 8 shed now with no door and the door opening is not big enough for a lawnmower to push through. Here is what I obtained in materials through craigslist, marketplace and word of mouth. 200 spent on 57 22in x 96in sheets of OSB, 65 dollars spent on 60 8ft metal studs, 8 10 ft track and 45 pcs of hat channel. 10 dollars for self tapping screws(about 1000 of different kinds) and 60 dollars on 12 2 x 6x 10. so all my materials cost 335 bucks. I have a start date of 4-15-21. If not too busy I will post pics as i go.

Money wise sounds like you're doing great with current material prices. My buddy just bought a prefab shed that he has to put together, he is alsmot 2k into it lol.

Yes please post your progress. Spring season always includes several threads on shed building. If you run into an issue or have a question, someone will be able to help out.

Are you going to tie it into the old shed, or is demo part of the shed build?

its gone. I posted that 6x7 on marketplace and 25 mins later, someone was here to figure what they needed to the it away. Its being used for the wood.

No tie-down anchors in that budget?

This is basically what I ended up with a 10 x 12 extra strong shed pretty cool ran out of material.

Good job on a scavenger's budget.

That looks great, I'll bet your father really appreciates it.

He says the shed could have been better, I said, you have all the materials drop shipped here, I will have this one picked up, which they will pay me for, and then I will build your shed with your materials, after about a half day, he comes to me to say, building materials are very expensive, how you did this for less than $600 ill never know. I said ,love dad. It's just love for my dad.

Building a good shed for your dad is an opportunity to show him how much you appreciate all you learned from him.
