Default re: Storage shed for fish & other stuff

Got some plywood cut-offs from that TomR's Cabinet company's garage sale on Monday , so I decided to build my wife (& I) a shed for her birthday present. She's been bugging me for a year for a shed, so I built her a big one. It's almost 11' wide, 8' deep, 7.5' tall (in the front). It's got a sloped roof. Total cost was under $300, & the roofing material was $102. I panelled the sides with 1/2" plywood (waterproof white vinyl outside, mahogany veneer inside).

Some of the raw materials.



2/3 complete. My wife was sooo excited, she loaded it up before the roof was on.



The finished product. 3 days & roughly 24 man-hours later.


Now our home is clean & less cluttered. Half my extra fish stuff is stored in there

Thanks TomR for the plywood cut-offs.

Anthony

Yeah, but when it was level, it wouldn't open/close properly
