Wow!
You built a playhouse for your children, a potting shed for your wife, and now it is time to build a shed for yourself.
You decided on a garden shed and you found the perfect spot in the wooded section of the backyard. A wooded area that will be away from the loud noise and music of the children, a relative complaining of their aches and pains, the honey do weekend list organized by your wife, or just a get-a-way for some peach and quiet, a man cave refuge.
You have an idea for your DIY garden shed and anxious to build it. You want your man cave to be large enough to accommodate the poker table, a mini-bar, your favorite recliner, and television set. It is your do it yourself garden shed.
You have your dream garden shed in mind, now you need the appropriate shed plan or shed blueprints to start construction.
Check local residential building codes
Select and measure site
Measure my boy toys for the width and height of garden shed
Double check materials and tool list
Architectural design with its shed blueprint
Decide on partitions, shelves, racks, and cabinets to be constructed
Selection of doors, window, shutters, and porch or deck
Include a ramp for easy furniture movement
Electrical needs for the television and indoor climate controls
Exterior color of man cave or garden shed
Decide on additional storage, e.g. loft
Decide on using cedar shingles, or other types of shingle materials
Build foundation
Build floor
Build or purchase ready made doors
Build walls
Build roof or rafters
Build or purchase ready made ramp
A lifetime of fun and relaxation
This list at first glance may seem overwhelming, however, preplanned is very important. You probably know this.
The shed construction phase of the project is bringing your dream into a physical reality. And that is the excitement of creating your remarkable garden shed.
Picture yourself in a few days from now relaxing in your retreat.
The ease of the construction is in proven shed plans or shed blueprints. Follow instructions step by step in an orderly manner and the woodworking project will be completed in a short time.
As I watched my husband review his shed plans, it was different watching him build for himself than it was for the children or for me. We were there to tell him what we wanted and how we wanted it and he made the adjustments.
This shed is for him, it seems to be taking longer because he wants it built to his specifications and he has to think it out completely by himself. I noticed that it was nice to have a few of his buddies over to help with the thinking and the shed construction. Having a friend or two to help adds fun and enjoyment.
Upon completion of the garden shed project, imagine you and your friends sitting down and experiencing the immense satisfaction of a job well done. Turn on the television, watch your favorite sports channel and enjoy a cool one.
Rare thinking people such as yourself already know that the advantages of your wooden garden shed is the quality of the construction, the shed design, the size wanted, the longevity of the garden shed, and best of all…the financial savings.
