i'm building a shed for mostly used material here i've got some tongue and groove plywood and i'm
using a rip fence attachment on my circular saw to cut that square the base of the shed is going
to be made out of some pressure treated two by material and i'm using my circular saw rip fence
attachment to cut that to width and then using a speed square to cut it to length and square
that material came from a deck of neighborhood
torn out and i'm just trimming off the bad bits and cutting it to size
and this is how the framing for the base goes together
i'm attaching the pieces all with three and a half inch long deck screws
and now using more of that use plywood to make the walls
this is cutting the angle for the roof flow
i cut two sheets off at an angle and those together form the back wall and the cutoffs
those will form the top part of the front wall but then i was just looking at this thinking this is a
bit short for the entryway on the front here and then i realized my mistake i marked this point uh
too short by 10 centimeters this should have been here so that changes the slope and everything
oops so the roof slope is going to be a little bit lower than i had planned that's okay but it's also
too short so i'm going to have to add an extension to this part here to get that height back so that
i'll have room for my doorway the one strip is an extension for the bottom and the second strip
forms sort of a baseboard to put on the bottom of the wall to attach that extension to it
and i'm putting it on with construction adhesive it's a great glue for when you messed up
and i glued that to the bottom of the back wall a few hours later
now i have to mark the rest of that door opening
here's my front wall pieces these notches are where the purlins for the roof support
are going to fit into i only measured these on one quarter piece but then
i used that as a template for the other side and also for both halves of the back
this header for the door is going to be the main thing that holds the front of the shed together
so i'm really fastening that good
ah
now it's time to try to put this back wall onto the shed platform which i put on wheels
and also clamped this thing to the back of it to try to help me place it
i used some of my long ridge clamps to hold that in place for now
now here's a sidewall and i put these blocks on there to help me place it here
and just one drywall screw to hold that corner together for now
working on the corner joinery i attached this piece here to the edge of the back
and that will mate with this 2x4 that's on the edge of the side
i read the corners on this side to be like that side and i've got my front face on here and these
two little blocks here and here to position it vertically now i just need to tip it up
door is about the right height i cut notches in the sides of the purlins
and those fit into the notches at the top of the walls so even though the corners are just put
together with a bunch of clamps putting a few uh purlins on there sure stiffens up that shed
and now it's a friday time to put that shed away until i can work on it again
let's see if the car still fits in the garage if it does i can put this project aside for a
while loads of room that'll be good for a while for the roofing and siding i ordered sheet metal
similar to this but that'll take a few weeks to get here and the reason i'm building the shed
modular and in the garage is it's going to end up right here overhanging the edge of our property
and it's a lot easier to work on in the garage than right here
