Maybe something like the @RaceDeck1 Free Flow tiles. Lets the water through to the floor. Really durable too. They had a GJ discount when I ordered mine.It's been a minute, but I finally got the soffits closed up with the help of a buddy yesterday.
Since I ain't a carpenter, this needs caulking and paint, but I'm happy enough with how we closed up the eve to Gable transition. I'm planning to clip off the end of the Gable fascia, just ran out of time yesterday.
Next is to finish the interior electrical (needs a few receptacles), then spray the framing with boracare, then insulate and close the ceiling. I'm leaning towards drywall but can still be convinced otherwise.
The floor needs something on it that can be kept clean and is very slip resistant. Coating? Porcelain? IKEA wood tiles? https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/runnen-decking-outdoor-acacia-60518486/#content
The front half of the interior is for the fridge, toys and a changing space. Back half is storage. Longer term, I could see the storage turning into some form of a hang out space
Below 265 SQ/FT Pool shed build

All workspaces below 265 squarefeet.
Not sure about bare feet. Shoes are fine.
The flooring tiles are... Not terrible. They look nice and don't seem slippery. I bought enough to do half the shed and am inclined to just do the whole thing to avoid the trip hazard in the middle. Other option I'm considering is to 3d print a transition as it doesn't appear the manufacturer makes one.
I'd need 5 more cases to finish it

***** you have that 1 piece in the middle backwards.
Yeah, it's just floating. Once you get a decent amount down, it stops moving around much. Having the fridge on it helps.
I had a gap at the door that was exactly the width of a slat, so instead of cutting one off the rest of that wall, I cut up a couple extras to fill it in. Just need to do the corners
Plan for the rest is a clear finish t&g pine for the ceiling and painting all the walls (open framing) in semi gloss white.
If this ever turns into more than storage/changing space, I can insulate, drywall and add an a/c at that point.
Conduit is all roughed in, just need to get a couple spools of thhn and a roll of NM-B, then I can insulate and close the ceiling

Do they have a whitewashed option on the T&G?
With that floor might be a bit dark...
Sounds good to me, but I'm pretty boring with colors
I asked AI:
You gonna tell me with a straight face you know more about colors then the HGTV AI bot?

Last units delivered last year July time frame it was all sterile white. Gross.
Not sure current color scheme. It will be a while before going vertical.
I pressure washed the floor last weekend and sealed the floor yesterday.
Today was primer and one cost of paint on the walls. Final coat tomorrow, then I'll clean up and lay out all the floor tiles.
I'll likely wait until the fall for the ceiling. Still leaning toward T&g pine.

A painted plywood ceiling substrate would have looked really nice....
At the day job we use a product called MDO which is plywood that is about 3/8" thick with a smooth primed painted surface. We use it on porch ceilings, covered deck ceilings, soffit, etc. We use batton strips at the seams.

I've never been able to source MDO. Felt odd living in New England, but maybe Norm used it allA painted plywood ceiling substrate would have looked really nice....

Haven't contacted any of the yard around here though.
I still think t&g is the way to go, just need time

Definitely t&g. A little more time but easier and I like the looks.

Easier?
Sheet ceiling with plywood.
Install T&G one by one. Cuss cause room is out of square and the error now shows.
Buy two ceiling coverings - plywood and T&G.
Spend twice as much ladder time if not more.
4x8’ sheet of MDO, batten strips, done.
) and this is the better place to practice

Lift a sheet of plywood or lift a 1x6 piece of pine? Easier for me by far.Easier?

And t&g with clear finish vs painted mod with battens and a bunch of fasteners? Not near the same league.

I think you need some prep work here at the holes....
Seriously, it looks very good for open walls.

There were two studs that had some bug holes that didn't get noticed until the walls were stood, that's one of them.I think you need some prep work here at the holes....

Thankfully it's hidden behind the fridge, but they really popped out when I sprayed the primer.
