The framing was mostly good, so I just put back what was there plus some more decorative railings, and built a new landing down into the yard. Not perfect, but it was a fun project. Next is to install/replace the lattice under neath.

E. My day job requires constant thinking for others, juggling of info, emailing, more emailing, etc. It never ends. Once 1 of the 15 projects I have going at once is finished, 3 more are in line. It is incredibly refreshing to start a job that requires skill and manual labor, knowing that it has a definite END. I don't really know how else to describe it. Lots of guys I know don't even remotely have this in them. Welcome to the club, assuming you enjoyed it and now own a ton of expensive tools that you are looking to use.
That’s dope, P.Quote:

This is about 9 years in the making from the sealant and cutting and setting cementboard, several years of on again/off again imagining, measuring, cutting, backbuttering, laying. Did the sealing yesterday, wait until that cures and then the grrrrrrout. Kudos to my partner who did most of the tricky stuff.

Yes, that's all slate. All the pieces smaller than 12x12 were hand cut using a tile saw except the glass border tiles.
Well I'll probably take some shit for the crudeness, and I'm far from a builder, but I had a bunch of scrap from last year's home reno and put it to use for next year's garden start. Feel free to flame.

Man, this is right on the money. I always tell people "someday I'll realize I'm not saving any money, and just quit screwing around and start working 50 hours a week and pay someone to do this."Quote:

Have some soffit and trim to finish, but good enough for the winter.
Sprained index finger, otherwise things went pretty smooth.

I’m looking for some easy to follow, step-by-step shed plans. Google turned up a bunch of stuff, but none of the plans looked exactly like what I wanted. Ideally I could customize a bit and get a list of materials plus plans.
I know most here are pretty advanced but have any of you ever done that type of project?

while i haven't built a shed, i did build a climbing wall a few years ago with designs i made in some free cad software i found on the google. it allowed me to import a wall design and then modify it to my specs and what i wanted. it may help you in the design phase too. the name of it eludes me atm but i'll try to find it.Quote:

Purely functional or do you care how it looks--especially door detail?Quote:

I'll bow out. Bigger than I've built as a DIYer.
Once you see what materials cost, you'll start calling it a storage building. I'm building one next week, 8x12, budget $4K. Just the floor pack, treated 2x6, CDX etc. was $700. I sheet of 3/4 CDX is $50. It pencils out that the shitbox Tuff Shed costs about the same as the materials to do it sweet. I'd upload pics but I can't log in on my phone....luckily. Good plans seem to be one of the few thinks that ain't for free on the webs. PM me and I'll help you however I can.Quote:
