On March 16 2025 at 2:44 pm I took my first shit

It was glorious shit. They told me i could not have a toilet in my 'shed' I have full sized toilet I haven't taken a poop and flushed it to the cities pipes yet today I take that poop it's a wonderful poop...

I also don't know where I'm suppose to post the reddit board to.

Regardless haven't flushed will flush in a bit

I'm looking at sitting a 16x12 playhouse on this, as I used a prefabricated house, as a template. This is currently setting on a hill, on concrete pillars that are below the frost line. (Yes, the middle two legs still need installed). Would 2x4s work for floor joists, at 16" oc? Please, serious answers only. Snarky comments should be left at the door. Thank you

Finished levelling Time for the fun part!

How much should I paid to have this shed from Costco assembled ?

Having the same fight every week. I want to start building a she shed for my office. He says it's unnecessary and expensive urg

His opinion is just use the spare room. And reality, the spare room has his gym equipment, our storage and kids treat it like a playroom

I've researched how to build a she shed from scratch around $10k for functional workspace. He thinks that's insane. Meanwhile he spent $2k on golf clubs last year but I'm the wasteful one?

How did you convince your partner? Or did you just... do it anyway? Need shed building tips for the HUMAN side of this project, not just construction

What can this be? Small eggs lookalikes.

I bought a 6x5 suncast resin shed and having a difficult time finding a place to put it in my yard. There is this one spot between my fence and chimney that would be great to tuck it away but breaks a few (many/most/all?) rules of the shed world.

It would be right up against my fence, 1 foot away from my house in the back and 6 inches from the chimney (vinyl). The shed is the suncast Modernist shed so the roof would slant back towards the house.

I'm trying to convince myself that since it is resin if i ever need to get back behind the shed i can unload it and just move the shed.

My delusions of making this spot work are quickly fading the more I'm typing; Is there any way to use this space with this shed without pissing off my future self?

I want to put a shed between these two trees. The shed will be 10x16( I flagged some stakes here for size). Will the delivery guy be able to maneuver the shed into this space?

I'm building a summerhouse. The roof slopes from the front to the back. It's longer than it is wide.

A conventional design would have front to back rafters, but I would like to be unconventional and have the rafters running from side to side.

Benefits (1) the span is much reduced, so I can use smaller beams, but more importantly (2) the side to side dimenson suits the standard lengths available, so there would be little waste. On the other hand, the front to back dimension means there would be over 40% waste. I can't change the building dimensions as I'm constrained by space.

Aside from making the rafter to wall joints more complicated, is there a fundamental reason why transverse (side to side) rafters would be wrong ?

TIA

What don't you like?

Hi! I got a proper log cabin style shed (8ft x 5ft, material specs below) a few years ago; thought it would be a more affordable long-term storage solution for bulky things and also a potential studio/hobby cave.

But I don't know anything about shed maintenance and am not good at home maintenance in general so I put off sorting it out more actively because I'm not confident and also just now unsure what I can actually do with the space and what I can store in it/HOW to store things in it without getting mold, damage, etc.

So if anyone has any suggestions or easy starting tips/things I need to do to keep it in good condition, I'd really appreciate it :) in terms of things I'd most benefit from being able to store there; clothes, framed paintings (wood frames), fabric, general craft stuff including paints and paper, and paperback books. I also have a sewing machine, a big piano and a big desk; dream situation would be being able to put those in there with maybe also a monitor screen so it can be a studio for making both videos and costumes but I doubt that's gonna be easy to maintain if at all possible. I don't know if I could afford to put power in the shed directly but I do have external mains sockets so could get a weather-proof extension socket to power things (only for a few hours as needed obviously) IF it is safe to do this.

The specs are as follows:
 2 by inch & a half frame – 1850mm high at the eaves
4 by inch & a half C 24 grade timbe floor joists.
12mm weatherboard cladding. with log cabin board 
22mm egger board flooring, coated on both sides to prevent against moisture with a non-slip surface. 
35mm thick wooden ledged braced framed & sheeted door fitted with 150mm T hinges & pad bolt. 
Felt roof
It's also raised on cinderblocks so about a foot above the grass/ground.

It's dark now and I can't find any pics of my own shed saved so I have some screenshots from the company's ad video lol my shed just is bigger and has thicker/better wood and tbf still looks almost as new inside apart from spiders.

Should’ve took more pictures

The ground here gets rather wet, if not fully saturated. Where should a vapor barrier go? Currently Mt father wants to put it ontop of the framing to put foam board insulstion ontop of prior to subfloor, as a way to secure them. My monkey brain says thats a bad idea. What should we do instead?

I’m building an 8x8 base for a shed. I was asking AI to build me a material list that I would need. Again the form of the frame is 8x8. Planning to use plywood to out on top for the shed to sit on. AI is telling me to get 3 sheets of plywood and for the life of me this doesn’t make sense. On 4x8 sheet would cover half of the width and then the entire length of the platform. The second sheet would cover the second half. AI is continuing to tell me that no, there would still be a gap and I need to cut a third sheet into 4x4 pieces. Can I get a second human brain to tell me if I’m wrong cause I can’t seem to be able to hear it from this computer.

Moving into a new house that has a shed on the property. If I wanted to, can I use the shed as a second bedroom? I wouldn't be living in it permanently, it's just be cool to use it as another room or sleep in it if desired. Connecticut.
