My Shed project....which turned into.... - HomeModders.com

....A loading dock/shed/aircompressor and sandblaster area/tirerack/woodworking shop....

Took a few weeks to build...and sadly I built it with no plans, but it came out stronger...prolly too strong...but it will be a sweet addition to the Airjockie Compound.

Still got to get it sided...that will be done when the house and garage are sided. I got a 10 kitchen counter top coming Monday, and some more sheathing...and already got plenty of insulation...and then after thats all in...it will be time to plumb in some airlines to run to the garage and wire it up to be as functional as a normal workshop. And I'm thinking about finishing it off with more pegboards and some linoleum flooring.

I was looking at these on Ebay, and thinking of get 600 of them...shed and garage...and have some left over for a few spots in the basement.

different colors of course...

I was at Lowes yesterday looking at their black and white high endurance crap...and it's nearly the same price.....but not flexible. and needs to be glued down.

yeah, thats pertty much the same stuff.

can't beat a snap-together 12x12 title. 10 year warranty and made for the garage is great too.

if you spill some oil, you can swap out 2 or three tiles.
vs linoleum, you need to replace the whole thing to clean it up.

That looks great Clayton. Are you doing all the work your self? As far as those sono-tubes and framing ect.?

Airjockie · 08-18-2007, 05:32 AM

yup, with a little help from some friends.

Drakej · 08-18-2007, 04:48 PM

You did a great job. Did you have any prints for it or did you just kinda build as you go?

Airjockie · 08-18-2007, 04:57 PM

built as I went....confusing as hell...

First part was the code...and figuring out what the code was, then found out that it wouldn't need to be to code for certain aspects, and then looked at a few offered prebuilt, looked at the prices, time involved, and looked at the price for just the lumber.

Same size cheap 12x16 that would look good on the property was starting at $5K's, not including delivery and foundation prep...I looked at how they were built and that was the deciding factor. Most looked flimbsy as hell...and I wanted something usable and built to last. This shed will last a long time if it's maintained properly...and it's still portable.
