Hi Jamoni, I have a ''Vague idea'' ::)from where you are coming with regard to the cold, having built my shop extension in late November, the temperature hovering around 5 degrees...this would look to be a cracking good shop when finished. Best of luck with it, John. |

jamoni Neat project. I just can't believe somebody would do something like that in the cold. But I see that job job that you do you aren't afraid of the cold. :) You mentioned not putting insulation in the flooring. I'd advise to put insulation in. The shop is small enough were it shouldn't be to great of an expense. Believe me your feet and legs will thank you for it. Darren, that's called a gambrel roof. Gives you a bit more storage. American barns are built with roofs like that. More room to store hay and straw in. Bernd |

Thanks, guys. Frankly, I can't believe I'm doing it either. :doh: I just got too good a deal to pass up ($600, and I've priced these sheds new at around $4000). Even if you factor in gas, new shingles, tools, hardware, etc, I'm still way ahead. So I jumped on it. Bernd, I think you're probably right about the insulation. I'm just concerned about moisture under the shed turning the insulation to a gooey mess. Even if I use a vapor barrier, I don't have any way to secure the ends. Hmm.... Unless I cut it extra long on all sides, place the floor panels, fold up the vapor barrier, and tack it to the floor. Put the walls on, then cut at the joint between walls and floor. Great, now I get to go buy insulation, on top of the nails and screws and pricey framing hammer I just got. :hammer: Tomorrow, me and my kid are going to hit this floor with a vengeance. Well, I'm going to hit it, he's going to make fun of me and chase the dog around, occasionally handing me tools or holding a board. More pics soon! |
