Another shed build

[sako243]

I've got an excuse with mine.
All built using reclaimed roof materials.
Been bone dry for 3 years though.

Hey Olderisbetter, said it before mate but great build and thanks for sharing as it went along

Great result, something to be proud of

How warm is it in there? Good to kip in if SWMBO kicks you out one night?

It was so warm today i left the door open and i have no SWMBO but i will probably kip in there one night just for fun

I'll swap my SWMBO for your shed?

I used all the left over cladding from the side of the cabin i took off at the start of my shed build and a few bits from when i did the garage extension to clad the side of my shed, I added a window frame ready for a faux window that will light up to give some view in the alley way when you walk round.

I got hold of some reall y good long pallets and a donation of some membrane so i had to find some time to put some beams in ready for the floor panels. But i have been working out doors in the dark by torch light so it went a bit slow, The floor is going to have weight on it with boxes when i need storage sp i made little legs out of off cuts they were sat on old nylon chopping boards that were ob a dab of PU sealant, I think it should support my weight and a few boxes now.

If the floor has to carry a high load why the stubby legs and why did you not support the "beams" directly from the pads? You've now got loads of failure points in the verticals which I assume are screwed or nailed. I'd have used larger pads that overlapped the whole of each joint area. But then I do like going OTT. I should have been a Victorian engineer

the beams are about 3" square and the stubby legs took all the bounce out the floor, but there are some packers under the beams in places, The original floor was part of the concrete yard and had a slope on it for drainage so it was a pain on my own to level up but i will give it a good bounce test before the flooring goes on later today.

Nice and simple today putting the OSB floor down and as soon as the door was closed it felt warm

Hi did you insulated before OSB went down ? What osb thickness did you use ?

Yes i used some 100mm fibre glass insulation i had sitting around and the OSB is 18mm which my local builders place has for about £11 for a 8' x 2' sheet so i use it roofing flooring and walls.

Thanks . That's a good price on your OSB.

Hi Another questions if you don't mind? After the insulation and before the OSB did you vapour barrier ?
