Building a "She" Shed

[woodlandfarms]

So I got home late September, left a couple of weeks later and the Movie I was to start folded due to the director hating the script. So home I went, and the wife said "You are not sitting around waiting for your shop to get built, you are helping build mine". Helping generally means providing the money, and the manpower, and doing at least 50% of the labor but not being in charge while being in charge. Its is complex dance...

Anyway, we had bought shed plans on the internet a while ago.

So pretty self explanatory, We had some other dirtwork going on so the guy dug out a space for the building. It was neither level and was far too deep, thank you very much for not listening. So more concrete than necessary was put to use.

We Framed up the bottom, and the wife informed me she wanted an insulated floor. so we got some 1.5" closed cell, laid down a 3/16 sheathing, but some 2x2's down and then put in some insulation. Then some 5/8 flooring and bobs your uncle.... Oh, I had to fly out at this point for a meeting.

So I got back and to my surprise the wife had made 3 walls. Raised them alll on her own. Pretty impressive I have to say.

We finished off building the walls, brought the kubota over to help square up and then started sheathing a bit to firm up the building and then got news of impending weather, so we jumped ahead to the roof. Finally today we got on some fancy underlayment that is UV proof for 120 days and Sunday we can return to the sheathing

My hope is by the end of this coming week the sheathing will be done, the wrap will be on, and I will have the front door in and the porch started.

None of this is cheap and add to it my wifes expensive tastes and we could be taking a world cruise right now...

And what's the eventual purpose/use for the She-d?

Very nice AND no cold feet - ha, ha. Obviously, its the wife's workshop/hobby shop/tool shed.

Actually it is a garden shed. At least at this point. For permit issues this is our plan. It might change once completed.

Very nice.

On the framing of the floor. Why didn't you rest your joists on top of your beams instead of using all those joist hangers and building up the concrete so high?

Impressed with how it's going. If I was doing it nothing would happen if I didn't do it and whatever I did would be wrong.
