I have a one car garage and six cars. My boss lets me keep two of them at work, but I'm running out of space. Decided I needed a new shed in the back yard. The rules for sheds where I live in CO is fairly loose. As long as it's 12 X 10 or less and a single story, you don't need a permit (I don't have an HOA). So I loosely interpreted what I consider to be a single story shed and started building it on a 12 X 10 concrete base I had poured with 9 foot walls. The roof should go on this weekend.

LOL

Looks from the 2x6s you will have it well-insulated (for a "shed") and plenty of room for a generous attic. Big project!!

You are correct. What this will eventually turn into is a be-as-loud-as-you-want room where we watch Bronco games. It will be heavily insulated.

Finished up two projects this past week....

The first one was just a quickie - redoing the pots on the front porch. Took birch limbs and artificial flowers to create a maintenance free, changeable for the season (by changing the artificial flowers for seasonal type (Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas motifs).

The second project was putting a metal rook on our pergola on the west side of the house. Before and after shots.

Looks awesome. Great choice of colors.

My garage addition started prior to the pandemic, and moved very slowly the last two months. Contractors doing most of it, but I just finished fabbing and positioning hoist rail posts which will have the floor poured around/over/under them. A 23' beam (3" square) will attach atop each set of 3 posts, a couple inches below the ceiling. I sure hope the overhead door company gave me correct dimensions for the 3 sets of door tracks and openers!
I hadn't realized how steel prices have increased- $1,500 for the steel and cutting and a little welding.

16” centers on the trusses? You built that like a brick shet house.

Thanks misterp

Couldn't get stock trusses to fit my dimensions, so the builder scratch-built rafters, joists, etc. 16" centers is normal in snow country, but he did over-build it somewhat.
Off-topic... when I was five, we actually had a brick outhouse! It was right next to the brick smokehouse- which we didn't use... I can't imagine the taste/smell of anything smoked it it.

I've been busy going through my closet full of unfinished guitar upgrades and projects.

First, the closet:


Guitar with gutted electronics on life support, new electronics installed and sold.


Gutted years ago for upgrades, new electronics installed and sold.


Repair an early attempt to repair a scratch. There were extenuating circumstances. What looked like flame maple was actually a photofilm with a white polyester base. I drop filled tinted lacquer to fill a ding and it melted the emulsion right own to the film base. I finally leveled it with crazy glue and spot finished with an air brush touch up restoring the sunburst colors and flame "feathers" with a fine tip followed by a full top respray in lacquer. It was harder than it looks. New neck and new electronics installed. It's a keeper.





Finish repairs to damaged neck and headstock, full respray, sold


Custom build, sold.



Custom build, keeper.

I’m in snow country too, but most garages around here are 24” centers
