Back Yard Shed

[nando]

did you build it using a kit? I was going to build a 10x10 ft shed but then we decided to move, so it will wait until after that.

[Kershaw]

that looks totally legit!

Looks good. My build is underwater, I think I'm going to plan something multilevel this next time. Jklol. But it does look good, and I do need to rebuild.

.I feel like there was a the un-needed r3v pissing match during this whole build...(Did some one actually suggest a foundation?)......regardless....I'll admit..I'd change a few things next time...but for what it is...It's awesome...

Chicks....man..chicks...

[TexasTerp]

Build a bomb shelter underground too. That would be bad ass.

Sorry - I was holding out on your guys.























That's all folks.

Make a window from scratch? Sure - why not. ;)

Tidy frames.
If you're running a rafter alone the top (they appear to be raking?) you don't really need the diagonals, but they certainly wont hurt.

Also, if you're cladding with ply, I be inclined to add some more nogs. About 500mm/c would be good.

Also also, what timber do you use over there?

^ Pictures of your protractor, compass and plumb bob. I know you are. ;)

Wow. It's like a roll cage for chickens.

Lol. It's a 4' wide window. I didn't want it to sag.

you might want to just keep the window/door on front and install a light inside.

The only glass with be the front window. The sides are going to be hatch doors that swing up and open for airing it out during the day, cleaning, aesthetics.

I built another wall, all on top of the other. It was really easy to do it that way. Now I have two identical walls - woot.

Wow. It's like a roll cage for chickens.

Also, keep in mind, to keep them laying, they will need 12 hours of light, and 12 of dark, you might want to just keep the window/door on front and install a light inside.

( Also, I really hate scraping chicken shit off glass, you will too.)
