Actually I was thinking a subfloor. 2 X 4, styrofoam, radiant floor heating tube, floor. Just a thought if you wanted to keep your feet warm. But spending somebody elses money is way to easy :lol: , so I guess you need to do what you feel is right. Bernd |

That's brilliant, and I think it's how I'll do it. That way, I can retrofit it after the shed is up. Thanks, Bernd! |

jamoni, Here's what the floor looks like in my basement shop. Unfortunatly it's not working to good. I should have added more coils of the pex tubing. If your interested in the whole project you can find it here at my Website Bernd |

Today I hit the floor. I had my son taking pictures, and well, he took a LOT. So I put them together for your enjoyment: The only issues I had were: 1. I didn't line the joists up perfectly, leaving the ends of two floorboards unsupported. I just shoved some spare 2x4s under the flooring and nailed down through the flooring, adding a couple of joists where needed. If necessary I'll drive some super long screws down through the joist into the runners. 2. One of the end joists was about 1/2" out of square at one end. I just had to pull it up, reposition, and nail it back down. 3. One of the joists was longer than the others. I think I grabbed a rafter beam by mistake. I just had to cut it off with my band saw. Everything was squared up at every step. This paid off at the end, as the floor is as square and level as you could ask for. I threw a tarp over the floor to keep it dry, and now I'm nursing my aching hammer arm. BTW, I bought an Estwing 28 oz framing hammer for twice what the Husky ones were going for. It was worth every penny. Next weekend the walls go up! |

Hey, pretty neat. 1 minute and 27 seconds to build a shed floor. :lol: Must be some kind of new record. You must be some were south of the Great Lakes. Don't see any snow. :bugeye: Bernd |
