Building a shed 1

Yes I know this has absolutely nothing to do with multisport training. But being a homeowner, husband, and father is all a part of life and this project has been sucking up a lot of life lately. It has turned out to be huge! We started with a storage shed on the side of the house that was half rotten, ugly, and had this strange slanted floor.

This shed is going to not be rotten, have a level floor, and have doors on both sides. Being big enough to hold all of our stuff is crucial. We don't have a garage or any non-heated space just for storage. Nobody ever complained about having too much storage space right? We ended up going with a rectangular 10' x 20' floor plan, built from scratch.  I'm going to tell the rest of it in pictures.

Before, there was a red fence in front of this originally

now an empty space

This will be our new floor!

Leveling the foundation blocks

And we have a floor!

Happy day!

We used the platform to built roof trusses

now that's some truss! We actually framed these all wrong and had to rebuild them.

Got the first two walls up!

using the floor to frame the walls

Got all 4 walls standing!

Roof is all trussed up!

I used the sill plate to extend the roofline out into a gable on both sides
