Didnt use the SS once in this project

Post by bainin »

Well-this has distracted me from the fun stuff. My small shop is quickly being over run by garden tools, lawnmowers, battery
recharging slots.

I had some pavers left over from my walkway to the shop..so putting them to some use to make a garden shed/platform under our deck.

Where i didn't have pavers, i had to buy 1.5 Ton of #57 stone as a drainage filler. Probably should have bit the bullet and filled the whole thing in
with pavers..but can still do that in the future.

Never done any construction/carpentry like this-hopefully it will work out !

Wife painted the 1/2 ply walls today, doing a rough in for the last photo...tomorrow doors and wall assembly.

My arms and back are beat lol.

That looks great...I may steal your idea, including the treated 4x grid. I'm contemplating raising my woodshop and digging a storage basement, but I was trying to figure how to pour a concrete floor under there. I don't really need a concrete floor; I just want something other than plain dirt.

Pretty happy with the #57 stone. Good for drainage I'm told...and its actually quite hard/compact-they way we used it. I was worried it would slip underfoot, but its even stable enough to use small ladders on it. I guess because its captured on all sides, theres not much room for it to slip around.
