Moving a shed

buckeyefarmer · Apr 17, 2022

This is the before and after pictures. This is the side where the bricks used to sit against the shed.

Originally framed to put a man door in, I had a piece of OSB screwed over the hole. I haven’t put new studs behind this area yet.
Should have put in a new bottom plate on the studs, old piece pretty rotten on the outside edge. I’ll do the 3rd one later, the front and other side is worse.
The front right wall will need a new bottom plate. Electric comes up through it, so will have to remove that for awhile.

Need some z channel on top of the new panels when I do the tops.

Only a couple?.... they look really good!

Too bad I didn’t take picture in landscape mode.

When you install your flashing over your top edge, its a good idea to leave a gap between the flashing and bottom edge of top panels. Allows bottom edges to dry after wind-driven rain. Extra paint/sealer on those bottom edges also helpful-especially if you cut them-pobably will have factory edge pointing down, though.

Are you installing sidling? On your electrical box, might not be a bad idea to mount on a block of pvc with some washers between block & electric box to keep the back from rusting.

I built a shed (really more like a closet) for boat gear using Huber Zip panels. Back then they were 24$ each. I think they are 70$ now. No more cheap projects. Maybe the guys at the lumber yard will let me pick through the culls pile. The Zip penels are holding up to the weather pretty well.
