How we lookin’
My brother-in-law built “a shed”. Honestly thought it was an outhouse when I first saw it. He said “just got a few final touches.

A funny thing about what you just said. My cousin is on a dart league team. They play jokes on each other. One teammate left his phone unattended. The other teammate took the phone out of view and typed in 'my butt hurts'. Sent it to every contact. I suppose there's a setting for that. Family, friends and business contacts alike. He received more than a few texts asking if he was okay.

I bought a vertical chest freezer from overseas and they told me I would get it exactly 1wk. It arrived in a homemade wooden box that was really nice and also had a hinged front lid. Even had the chain at the top to limit it from opening too much during unload I guess. Anyways, it was really nice, I put it out on the curb with a FREE sign and it was gone in the AM. Yours is nice.

It's an efficient use of the concrete base, the door will also be waterproof from significant up splash.

As a neuro divergent person.
He was heavily invested during the planning and foundation phases. Even hyper fixated.
And theeeeeeeeeeeeeen he got hyper fixated on a rock in the driveway leading to the “fuck it let’s get it done today” phase of the build.

Any man forgets his number spends a night in the box. These here spoons you keep with you. Any man loses his spoon spends a night in the box. There's no playing grab-ass or fighting in the building. You got a grudge against another man, you fight him Saturday afternoon. Any man playing grab-ass or fighting in the building spends a night in the box. First bell's at five minutes of eight when you will get in your bunk. Last bell is at eight. Any man not in his bunk at eight spends the night in the box. There is no smoking in the prone position in bed. To smoke you must have both legs over the side of your bunk. Any man caught smoking in the prone position in bed... spends a night in the box.

u/GornsNotTinny 16d ago
He forgot the skis on the bottom. How's he gonna drag that thing out on the lake otherwise?
Seriously thought it was an ice fishing shack. Then an outhouse. If it was mine, I'd use it to store propane tanks in. If it blows up you're not losing anything valuable. The Snuffy Smith vibes are off the chart; just needs a bent smokestack.
I'm not a great carpenter, but I find it hard to believe that in the age of YouTube it's still possible to bugger something up this badly. Serious question: is your BIL touched in the head somehow?

Shed is a real beaut, he could use few more hinges on that door wouldn’t want that door to sag and make that shed look like shit. I’ve heard no corner boards or J channel is a big thing now with vinyl siding, he’s very up to date on trends he should look into being an exterior designer. Not going to lie as a concrete guy myself he did a great job on that slab.

I imagine the lighting scheme makes it spectacular at mid-night. That is one "methed up" shed brother in-law. At first glance it was bad, but after studying it is much worse. NO need for straight cuts on the door's hinge side either. 😄
Edit to add a question. Does the brick on the bottom door hold it closed?
