Awesome House you have there Bill and nice fence around the Yard ! So crazy jealous of those Handymen out there..Jeees you can probably build anything Bill.. darn I want my Japanese Garden.. hmmm... but yA'll living way too far from my house to help out.. Perhaps we could have Bill as the chairman of Handy work that need to be done have a thread and ask all kinds of Techno questions like what to look out for when building a fence around your garden yaself ? MAn when your a handyman you got the world in ya pocket I can tell you that my shower leaks I can see it at the ceiling but I cant fix it myself will have to hire a plumber :mad: I re-kit the drains but it appears it must but the pipes under the shower or something so im no way in hell starting to open up tiles myself. so for now im Stuck to sitting in the bathtub and shower that way :mad: Im a pretty good painter so the wood house we live in I paint pretty much myself I watched very closely how the prof. painter did it once and I copied the style but improved it so the house came out better then when he did. saves you easily $2500 ! mucho respect for Bill... you wont get me near that SAW one finger short and forget about Chopin..
Ya know, it seems if you;re the type of person that builds something with your hands, you can build just about anything you want. I bet Bill is self taught too...
Two different types of insulation???? Don't ask. Anyway, the shed needs insulation because some of the things that will be in there are heat sensitive. Like 600 or so vinyl records. The valley heat can get to 109 in the summers, so you can imaging how hot a shed could get without ventilation or insulation. [vbpg]786[/vbpg] And, of course, there has to be sheet rock if there is going to be insulation... [vbpg]787[/vbpg] Good thing all my kids are grown and gone. They may have been begging to live out here. I could see it now. Dad... All I need is a flat panel TV and a phone line. And cable... know what I'm sayin'? It would be like, all cool, dude. I do not miss those days, folks. [vbpg]788[/vbpg]
Rules vary about what is a shed versus a permanent structure. He didn't pour a foundation. The trick will be if the county assessor or the city building code groups ever get a look at it and then either make him tear it down or file permits after the fact and then asses him back taxes.
Actually, where I live there were only certain requirements I had to meet without drawing a permit. I could build up to 120 square feet... mine is 96 It could be 12 foot high... mine is 10 It had to be 5 feet away from all fencing or other structures... the two closest corners are 5.5 feet away See? Nice and conservative... ..................................................
Bill, Two things. Don't you need a vapor barrier? And, please, don't store the vinyl in the shed. St. Croix
Well, I thought about it. Then got to thinkin'... that would be the absolute proof that I was really really really anal. Besides, it would keep me away that much longer from getting back to my razors... Hmm. Thought about that, too. Since the shed is raised, I didn't think it is really necessary. Secondarily, I used fine-mesh weed barrier with a thin layer of sand to hold it down. You can see it in the second picture that I posted. The records fill at least seven boxes. Takes up too much room in the house. It's temporary until I can sell them on eBay, anyway.
Actually, I had it in my basket at Lowe's... then got to thinking about the anal thing again and put it back on the shelf. I'm venting the soffits instead. By the way, I am going to AA meetings once a week. AA = Adversly Anal
Rock is up. Gotta tape and fill gaps with joint compound. Doors should go on tomorrow as well. Then it's paint and shelving.
Good Luck! Hate hanging doors and painting and.....oh, and my wife is on a full scale, I'm going to paint the inside of the house before Thanksgiving and you're going to help me whether you like it or not mission. Good thing we did the bedrooms a couple of years ago.
Dang Bill, Your cuising right along, Can you post some photos of the drywall prior to taping? I was wondering how you handled the angles of the ceiling I guess just smaller pieces screwed to the flat sections of the ceiling, the angles look a bit deceiving to me though...
It's a Werner knock-off at about half the price... and it's great. Nothing like using a quality ladder. I'll get some more pics soon. I got the doors hung today and the trim for them put in place. I also discovered something about paneled doors... ... there's an up, and there's a down. I hung one of them upside down and didn't catch on until I started to hang the hasp hardware. There went an hour down the tubes...
Hi Bill I was just looking at the houses from your backyard,that must be the trend these days everywhere ,housing estates are popping up all over the place,here in Australia , the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast especially .People flock to these areas to enjoy the so called lifestyle , beaches water etc ( nearly 3000 a week now)but a lot don`t get the opportunity because they have to commute to the city for work which is 1 1/2 hrs each way ,I know I did it for 8 yrs down in New South Wales.The kids used to ask Marg ,who was this man they would see occasionally on the weekends. I used to suffer from dreaded commuters disease , no matter where I was when I sat down I was asleep within 10 minuets.Its ok if your retired and own your home ,but when you are beholding to the banks it becomes a vicious circle. Any Bill ,not to be negative, what are your neighbors like and your new house I hope your happy where you are and you get your shed done soon,would be good to see a few pics when its done
