Rome wasn’t build in a day.
The course of true love never runs smooth.
You could add to these tried and tested sayings; If you build a shed you will encounter problems.
For most people building a shed will be a one-off project. Starting from zero knowledge, learning about the task they are about to undertake and finally ending up with a serviceable storage building.
During the course of the project you will inevitably encounter problems as part of the learning process. Mistakes will be made and overcome. To illustrate this point I wanted to highlight a project undertaken by a reader of this site Ron Clemens.
Nice shed solid foundations and floor construction
First shed side wall in place and temporary braces in position until other walls are completed
All four walls in place, temporary bracing no longer required
Structure of shed roof in place. Roof is supported on a central ridge beam.
The structural shell of the shed is complete and ready for housewrap
House wrap applied and ready for installation of trim and siding
The completed shed – a job well done!
Close up details of shed siding at the back of the shed
I think that you will agree that is a great result a fine looking shed that I am sure will last through many Canadian winters.
One construction saying that I would like you to remember as you progress through your project is that ‘The job always gets built’.
I have come across this saying on construction sites wherever in the world I have worked. As you work through your shed building project I think that you will find it as true for Ron as it will be for you.
