New Man Cave

Its almost level, Its square, whats plumb?? See what happens this next winter? Started the sidding yesterday, hoping to have all done this weekend but the roof. But we are calling for some rain
 
2nd what Mac said about the cable....and get yourself a little woodstove for the cold northern winters. When I build I'm definitely going with a woodstove.
 
Just like in a boat, I have a rope in the tube underground just to be able to pull other things thur!
Wood stove will be in there! :nice:
 
Whats the square footage and are you using a set of drawings or build as you go. I need to build something for my mom but don't want to get a contractor to do it. Any info you have will be appreciated. Thanks
 
16 x 24 = 384 sq, but I am doing a Gambril roof so I will have a 2nd floor for storage so that's 768 sq
Building from my head, no plans (now that's scary!!) I am not a builder at all and I have made a few mistakes and I am sure there will be a few more to come! But it will be solid and last as long s I am alive that's for sure.

Cost for the basic building is about $5000 I am sure after flooring the 2nd floor and doing the electric and water I will be at $6000

Heck my house is a ranch 30 x 24 768 sq, They are the same!! My wife asked if I was going to live in it, I said if need be!
 
Not wind talking at all. He means a gambrel roof. Kind of hard to describe, but it does exist. Just google gambrel roof and I think you will immediately recognize the style.
 
hey MJ come on down once you're done with the siding, then you can help put siding on my shop :sly: it's a little larger but no biggie. it 40' x 60' with 16 ft walls.
 
Gambrel roof = aka a barn-style roof.

My house has one and looks a lot like a barn....ask skools, he has seen it.

I built my house when I was 23 and only had 1 bedroom w/all living quarters on the 2nd story. It is 28' x 36'. Without the gambrel roof there wouldn't have been much room at all upstairs. Now since I've had kids I finished off the bottom half which used to be kinda like a garage. Put in 2 bedrooms, laundry room, a full bath, and nice big closets. Looking forward to add on a garage with an extra room upstairs very very soon. My builder said he'd be ready to start in a month...that was 3 weeks ago. Foundation is in and part of it is already concreted.

MJ - what kind of stairs will you use to access the upstairs? Stairs inside or outside? How wide? If inside the stair casing can take up a lot of room. I'm assuming it will be inside and only wide enough to be practical as to not use too much space but still be able to carry stuff up to the loft.

Looks good, wish I could start building a shop.
 
well time for a update

You could have offered him indoor storage if this project was started earlier.
You're out of control!!!!!!!!! :oh: I think you're pushing the building permit envelope regarding what's considered a shed.
