Moving a shed

BEF,
Maybe a third hinge to stop mid door sag/warp?
Really fun watching the transformation.

I never had a problem with doors sagging since it’s one sheet of wood, 7 ft tall. Not a bad idea though. A couple of the lag holes are getting worn. I can fix that with new frame on the inside. If I don’t get the shed moved, it will at least get new sides and a new look.

Here’s the left door lagged into place top to bottom with a couple 2x4s also lagged to the header and the floor. Love these timber lock bolts. And my battery impact driver.

Got ambitious after mowing today and got the other door done

Didn’t get the fillers in above the doors, need trimmed a little, and I didn’t trim enough, and got too tired.

Funny how "Moving a shed" became "Cleaning out and refurbishing a shed". No criticism intended. I've been following every step.

Cleaning out was always the first step before moving, but that never got finished.
Was going to refurbish after the move, but since it looked like the move wasn’t happening soon, decided to fix it up first.

I’m hoping prices on PT 6x6s come down some.

Think the all gray is pretty drab though. Maybe I should paint on a trim to match the barn trim.

So you’re saying I should keep the old siding and prop it up against the walls when the tax man comes?

I painted my shed with barn red and white trim.

I always check the rack at HD/Lowes for the mixed paint that the customer rejected. Good paint cheap.

The old color was barn red. It clashed with the barn when I built it, hence the gray to blend in.

Just do a contrasting darker grey for the trim.

Worked a little on the shed. Took off the next panel, discovered bottom piece very rotten. Moved my stack of leftover shingles from that corner of shed, flooring is a bit rotten also. Will probably cut out a 2x4 ft section and replace.

But not tonight, so tacked up the new piece with a few screws for now.
When I had that piece open, blew out some of the floor with leaf blower.

Light rain, no hint of as much of a breeze, so good morning for a camp fire to get rid of more wood.

Fire has really singed the oak tree leaves.

 

[buckeyefarmer]

More cleanup inside today. Lot of stuff burned.

Is that saved cat litter? Purpose?

 

[JPRambo]

I thought it to be ashes for the garden?

It’s builders sand, in old cat litter buckets. I have a whole bunch more in buckets under the open shed. Probably will just dump it out.

Or save for icy winter…

I think I see some nice looking poplar boards sitting there.... they could be turned into some nice woodworking projects!
