He bought the plans online for a 5-sided shed, which is 10x10, but with 1 corner cut off at a 45 degree angle. It has an 8-point roof also. And 2 windows, and a double door. And planter boxes. Fun!
The plans have a material list, which McCoys was happy to fill and deliver to Jack's garage.
So far, we have spent several weekends getting this shed going. I have a tablesaw, Jack bought a router, and we both have an assortment of drills, skill saws, levels, T-squares etc. we are using.
This is 6 weekends or so of progress. It took us a couple weekends to get the cinderblock foundation laid due in part to weather. The joists are 2x6, they sit on skids that in turn rest on the cinderblocks. 3/4" plywood is used for the decking, and 2x4s are used for the studs/wall assembly. Cedar siding for the siding, and composite board and shingles for the roof.
The wall height is 72". we could not find a handy door in our price range, so we are going to make one. We've already started manufacturing the 2 windows.
Some photos follow
The shed is 5-sided, basically a 10'x10' square, with one corner cut off at 45 degrees
Here we see the foundation of cinderblock, the 2x6 joist arrangement,
and peeking at the edges you can probably see skids.
The decking is on!
My new tablesaw. CoffeeGoddess bought me this for Christmas 2 years ago. This is the first time its been used!
Studs get mitered to 22.5 degrees for the angled walls where the one corner has been
cut off the 10'x10' square the shed would otherwise be.
Making... something. on Jacks new router.
They interlock, thusly.
Muttins, for the window Jack is making!
Window inner box, muttins laid on for show.
A wall, being constructed, with a hole for the window.
A stack of walls. on top is the "front" wall, where a double door will go,
which Jack is also making.
No really.
First strip of Cedar siding
The back wall, siding complete except for the final strip, which must be ripped.
More to come!
