Building a new shed

So we had some good winds in the beginning of the month, and as a result, the roof on my shed blew off. Since the shed was 30 years old, I figured it was time to replace it. Here are some pics of my progress. I would consider myself a serious diy’r. So this is a project I was excited about. I love putting my tools to work. I hope you enjoy the pics.

Now I just have to build a door, and paint it.

Looks Great! I would love to have a shed in our back yard, I been trying to decide between a small one for yard equipment, or a big heated/air conditioned workshop to replace my small basement workshop.

I would’ve built bigger, if I wasn’t already working with a certain size slab. And my neighbor asked that I not build too high.

Ah shoot I was wondering if there would be any issues with that, in a close neighborhood, or what is allowed by city ordinance all that stuff…..

Putting your tools to work is a great feeling, as well as the finished project, looking good, hope the roof stays on for many years to come!

Like the shed. I think whenever 1 of us post a project it needs to include photos of the tools used.

Nice shed. Did you come up with the plan or pretty much just copy the last one? Anyway nice living in Huntington beach, I lived there years ago and loved it.

I’ve been wanting to rebuild the shed for awhile, so this plan had been hatching in my head for some time now. it’s built much better than the previous one, and the only thing the same is 10X10. you can tell by the pics, the weather here in HB

is awesome, great place to live. all thought it is expensive, I’ve been considering moving into the shed, and renting the house!!!
