I am gearing up to build a small wood shop in my back yard. This is exactly how I have been thinking of doing it. I'm not interested in concrete. And, I don't like two pitch roofs for small out buildings. Eventually, I plan to add a ground level porch and cover it by building off the high side of roof. In fact, there's very little of this I would change. Great build!

I saw you put the boxes flush with the studs instead of out to the little bumps that bring it out 1/2" for the drywall. Also you put all the outlets in before the drywall? Was that just an oversight?

No it is built on skids. I may anchor the base in the future but honestly I think if winds are strong enough to move this thing they’re probably going to be strong enough to just rip it apart.

Very nice. I wonder though why you chose not to anchor it and left it floating? There's no concern of it shifting off that board base due to high winds, especially with the roof overhang?

@gino.varisano

I’ve considered this, but I previously built a very similar shed and have observed it through different seasons and very heavy winds. It hasn’t budged an inch. This one is considerably heavier with all of the the finishing elements so I think it will be good.

I believe that it’s not considered a permanent structure if it’s being built on sleepers and therefore no permits are required

Awesome work! Trying to tackle something similar as well. Where did you get your plans for the shed? Share the source??

@gino.varisano

I would gladly share plans but I didn’t follow any, just kinda made it up… “The efficient carpenter” is a good book on framing if you’re interested in learning the basics of home construction. I thought maybe I could draw some plans up for interested people but I haven’t had time to do it yet.

I'm sure there are many trade schools you could check out. I don't know anything about them unfortunately. These days though, if you are serious about it and motivated you can learn all of the basic concepts pretty quickly on youtube and from there just start building / fixing things. Start with small projects and a few basic tools and work your way up. If you want to do it for a living I'm sure there are plenty of entry level construction type jobs you can get doing grunt work but if you are reliable, tolerable to be around, and anxious to learn people are generally happy to show you the ropes.

There are many ways to build. You could put it on a concrete pad or foundation. A gravel pad is a common option for small buildings. The compacted gravel is stable and provides quick drainage. I definitely wouldn’t build this way if it were in an area with flood risk but generally no, rain does not get in. An added protection would be to add flashing around the exposed areas at the bottom.

Yeah I knew I was going to build it 12x24 to minimize cuts and keep it mostly full sheets of plywood and I knew I would do 16inches between studs/ joists/ rafters so calculating how many of everything you need was pretty simple. There are framing calculators online that can make it even easier. And then I added a little extra of everything to account for mistakes and warped wood etc.

It would be great if you had measures and timber sizes. I really would like to give it a try! Thanks.

yeah i guess you're right, I mostly only added the interior vapor layer on the ceiling to keep rockwool dust/ fibers out of the space. I didn't want to insulate the underside any further because it would become a rodent's nest in no time and I have seen other builders in much colder climates use this method effectively enough. We will see how the split unit handles the cold which will determine how much winter use it gets.
