Finished the floor!!


3/4" tongue and groove floor is down and painted. I had to paint because it might sit a while exposed to the elements. When the building is done I,ll just put another coat on for the final stage.

(update 12/07/2025) The shed is still standing but some horrible stupid mistakes were made. DO NOT BUILD THE FLOOR LIKE I DID !!!

See how I made the plywood the foundation for the walls ..this was a no no. What I should have done was built the walls and then add the plywood floor. Also don't skimp out. Just build the whole shop out of pressure treated wood. I had two disasters. The first was the poor flashing job I did which caused a leak, and because the roof was slanted , it leaked behind the drywall over to the one side of the shop which had a long bench on it , this helped hide the leak which was probably leaking since the day I built it. We also had to floods. So I have replaced the floor, I have rebuilt one wall and and now in the process of rebuilding the second longer wall. And I have to shell out a lot of money to have some (professional) redo the roof for me. I am getting too old to mess with roofs anymore...goodby money, thanks for the short stay !!

My Mini Shed Shop





Well it took a lot of decision and thinking ( I almost didn't want to build due to the fact I don't like where I live. But due to economics, I'm stuck here for at least another 5 years.)

So anyway I decided to go ahead and build a 12 x 15 foot mini shop. I could have bought a prefab but due to setbacks I would have ended up with 10x15, so for the same money I can build it bigger and sturdier. Permitting was not as bad as I thought it would be, I didn't like the setbacks but hey I'm still able to put up a decent size shed. Here's a few pics of the progress so far.

My latest project


A rolling tool cart for the tool and die shop I work nights at. Built everything, even made my own knobs on the lathe. I,ll eventually make another addition for the top.
