The inside of my shed for now.
« on: October 10, 2012, 07:15:47 pm »
Here is my storage shed I poured concrete in on Saturday. Nothing like having a concrete truck stuck in your yard at 8:00am, I used the wheel barrow to take 90% of 4.5 yards into this space. Luckily it was only a 50 yard trip one way. 15x22 of storage. I have much to do over winter, but the hard part is done.

New slab, but I added 14' to the back of my shed and tore down the old lean to. It was 15x8 now it is 15x22 and the roof is matched to my shed instead of off the back lean to style. It will house my mowers, air compressor, kids bikes, wagon, wheel barrow, and all the stuff I didn't know I had that will fill it up in less than 1 year.

Sure wish I could be there to dump the first panful of used diesel oil onto it.

If you look the entire thing was mostly recycled wood. I used new 2x6 for the truss and new 4x4 for the posts, but other than that it was from the old parts. Even the steel is stuff that was left over from another job.

Where are the expansion joints in that slab?  It's gonna crack on ya.  I would have split it roughly in thirds with joints at about 7 feet from either of the long ends.  You get cold and hot enough to make them work.

That concrete in the pic was just poured. As in you couldn't walk on it without leaving permanent footprints wet. It is cut now, but I am with you.

Good deal.  Hate to see all that hard work go to waste.  Nothing worse than trying to roll a jack or engine hoist across a crack in the concrete.  Push, I said push!   Oh crap there it goes.

Sure there is, my shed looks just like that except for the hard floor, and leak resistant roof.
Pondering now how to roll a 600lb engine stand across the mud floor:-[

I have some shed envy..

Got good quality plywood or some nice hardwood boards?  That is the only way I know to make that situation work for ya.

Watch out for the weak spots in the crappy plywood.  I did something like this moving my shed across the backyard and the weight on the large wheels found those thin places in the wood and boom right through it goes the wheel.  I finally was able to grab my two sons, there 3 buddies and myself and we all just grabbed a part of the shed and walked it to where I had the new decking for the floor.
