DONE!

The Shed is finally done, and just needs a little more furniture (working on a DIY solution for this). I may be adding a deck in front and possibly a mini-bar inside. It is a great (and warm) getaway and respite.

Soilent Green

We decided to pick a "bright" color for the inside. Really, Really bright.

Working for "The Man"

Here's a father/son pic. I am not violating child labor laws, by the way, he volunteered and I give him breaks, water, rice krispys and encouragement!

More Progress

Picture after glass was almost complete and door is on.

The whole glass "thing" is a long story. Basically, the idea of buying an old sliding glass window and taking it apart to use for the shed was kind of a bust. The glass panels were sealed together as double-pane with some kind of black tar-like goo. It was comically hard to get off the edges of the glass and when I finally did, it got all over my clothes and hands (turning my face black when I accidentally rubbed it).

So, after all of that, I decided to just buy it by the square foot which was not that much compared to the hassle of making the old glass work. I also bought separate panels for the top from Home Depot whaich are plexiglass. They really look too "plasticy" to me so if I had to do this all over again I would just buy the tempered glass pre-cut to the size needed.

Here's a progress photo of the shed with the roof on.

More Treasure

Some more great finds at the Habitat for Humanity Re-Store. I got a can of varnish for the floor for $2, wood strips for $3 that will be perfect for the window stops, and the best find of all, a tempered glass sliding door that may cover all my glass needs for $100. I priced out tempered glass at $4/sf and plexiglass at $10/sf so both would have been expensive options.
