Construction of 10′ x 24′ storage shed displayed in time lapse photography from start to finish. Asphalt roof and vinyl siding. Total time: 110 hours/12 days. Total cost: 50. Built to last a minimum of 30 years. Off the ground to avoid snow and water. Will not rot or decay. Asphalt roof and high load capacity. Blueprints available upon request. 1. Layout foundation using strings and batter boards. Dig holes for concrete piers and small rock for base. Use the pythagorean theorem to test strings are at 90 degree angles. Use plumb bob to center posts. 2. Use proper spacing and double up joists when necessary. Use proper sheathing 5/8″ for sub floor. 3. Frame walls, check diagonals for square and place a diagonal brace to avoid shifting. Frame opening of door 2 inches wider than the door itself. 4. Put in rafters with the proper birds mouth, braces, and spacing. Extend the rafters as necessary to avoid rain and snow from touching the base of the shed. 5. Sheath the roof with 1/2″ or 5/8″ depending on snow loads. Put on asphalt paper, flashing, caulk between flashing and shingles. Sheath the walls with 1/2″. 6. Install door with jamb and sloped threshold. Paint all necessary areas. Install wrap around molding. 7. Install vinyl siding.

Well as most of you know about these things , but if not click here www.youtube.com but these were once used to house drink machines at ETSU , they all had backs in them , that I removed all of them , but one that made the back of the shed , I then bolted them together to make a 18 feet long building for FREE all it cost me was 1 gallon of paint , and 12 bolts , nuts ,and lock washers and 3 tubes of silicone to seal them together on the top , to make the roof so to speak , so what I came out with was a 00 storage shed for free , and it is metal , not cheep tooth pics shot full of air staples lol

Behind the scenes LINK::: www.youtube.com ………..I started dreaming up this project in the summer of ‘09. I had quite a bit of lumber in my garage that I was saving for a future project and decided this was it. I wanted to build a carport but I needed more storage space so I started sketching up ideas and based on the material I had been saving, in come cases up to 5 years this is what I came up with. It had to be heavy duty, with stand high winds and earthquakes and It had to look good. Look good for me and my neighbors. I wanted the sheds to be low maintance and the used aluminum roofing I used as the siding really made that happen. I bought 65 sheets of 28″ x 10′ for two dollars each back in 2006. I stored it for a long time and finally got tired of all the ectra space being taken up so not only did these sheds free up space I have created tons of storage space in addition to a outdoor office man cave space to relax in and get away. I broke ground on November 1st, 2009 and put up the first shed on Dec 2nd 2009. I had to work in between the rain stormes so the roof had to be sealed. the second shed went up on January 10th The carport didnt go up untill June of 2010. It was a lot of work but Once I figured out what I was going to do in the building process I simply repeated the process so the second shed was basically a no brainer. I hope you liked the video too, that took me 20 hours to put it together.
