Popular Post smudge ★ Posted June 23, 2019 Popular Post Share #1 Posted June 23, 2019 We didn't do a whole lot on the BIKE shed yesterday, bit we did get good things done. HoSmudge spent a few days at camp and got two windows set in. We measured and leveled and installed shims. The two windows didn't have a nailing flange, so they were a little difficult, but we got them in ok. The door went in fairly well too considering the only shims we had left were the remnants from the windows. The counter top in the corner will be my work bench. Looks like I have a heckuvalotta more room for bikes than I thought! DoSmudge2 says I could fit ten in there. Gotta start shopping!! I stayed after supper and put a coat of paint on the door. It's actually an indoor door (solid core, so not flimsy or lightweight!), and we're supposed to get rain. I wanted a little protection for it, so I painted the outside of it. It's a little beat up, but the paint makes it look pretty nice! I'll probably put a couple more coats on the outside. Inside is really rough; probably at least three coats there too. 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maddmaxx ★ Posted June 23, 2019 Share #3 Posted June 23, 2019 Are you going to paint the particleboard as well. I've had some bad experiences with water and particle board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had some bad experiences with water and particle board. I am painfully aware of the exposed particleboard. Was thinking of T1-11 siding, but kzoo had a good point that it's redundant after having already put on the OSB. It's what I will probably use, but I'm trying to come up with some other idea. No, not vinyl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's called a porch. Note the floor under it with a chair. As stated, there will be a bench on the left, and there will be a railing on the right.

It's coming along great. But I do think this is a good time to bring up that my shed will not be storing 20 lb bicycles. Instead, it'll be storing over 30,000 lbs of firewood and/or wood pellets. So it's kinda an apple/orange thing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was supposed to be Windows 4, but the trapezoid window is too big for the loft. It may go in the back wall. But I'd still like to have a small window up there, so it might end up as Windows 5. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There could very well be wolves there. Definitely coyotes, a badger, deer, a big male bear, and a momma bear with three Cubs from last year. Good Lord; maybe I should do concrete blocks!!! Oh! And a couple moose!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
