Looks kinda drafty. Lol

Thats what coats are 4

wws

Nice job. Wish you all the luck.

We have finally progressed in the shed build since waiting for the rafters. The rafters got here Monday and they were put up on Wednesday. Today we finished up all of the purlins, did a couple of other things, and got the starter tin on. We're hoping to have the outside fully tinned, all the corner caps on, the door on, etc. We're hoping to have it all "dried in" by the end of Monday. We're looking at having a local spray foam company spray foam it or we're going to do batts if it's too expensive to do spray foam. That's the only update I have right now, will keep you guys posted on any more things that happen.

nice,,,,, Make sure you look into mouse proofing......they climb ,.......

Your building but I’d never put a window or a door with a window. Easy access for thieves! You have to have lights to see anyway.

Looks like great progress!
My friend had his home spray foamed insulated when he remodeled and I swear you could heat that thing with the warmth of a match.



I love having windows to look out of. Otherwise it's like being in a jail cell lol. If he's worried about thieves, he could just weld washers to rebar and lag bolt them from the inside of the windows for bars. I couldn't imagine having to worry about that, but I guess some people do.

Spray foam is expensive but a great idea. If done right, keeps draft,bugs,mice out.
2 suggestions. Make sure to have a decent overhang on eaves and gable ends.
Consider an (outswing) door instead of standard in swing. Give you a few more options .

Looking forward to seeing you proceed.

You can always put smoke of one way mirror film on the windows. I would make sure to seal coat the bottom of your door threshold or it will rot out in just a few short years. Spray foam is well worth the cost.

If not climate controlled, spray foam will most likely cause condensation issues imo.

Not worried about thieves around here especially ones looking for traps.

We're getting a couple of other quotes from other spray foam guys but the first one quoted us 3000$ to do the walls and the ceiling. IMO that's way too much for what this building is so if the other quotes are like that then I'm going to go with batts. I love windows too, my other fur shed has none and it's terrible.

Our overhang is set at the of our rafters, I wish it had a bit more because there's no overhang so that's a little different but I don't know much. I went with an inswing door because I don't know how this area is going to drift and I'd rather not get stuck in the fur shed if its windy outside in the winter. The first quote was 3000$ for a 12x20x8 building with the ceiling. One of our family friends had a guy do his 36x40 for 6000$ so we're looking around for different spray foam guys.

There's different types of spray foam make sure the quotes are for the same type of foam.

Well, got another update for you folks. The last couple of days have been busy. We have gotten the J tin all on. Today we got tin from our family friend for free, most of it is pretty much brand new with holes already pre drilled 2' on center. We got all 4 of the walls up today with 2 guys in about 8ish hours. The door was also put in a couple of days ago. We did mess up on the spacing of the purlins on the roof so now we're fixing that. We're going to do R-11 batts on the inside and then 1/2" plywood covering that. I'm hoping for it to be all wrapped up and for me to move into it by the end of September, leaving me with October to prepare for the season. It's coming along very nicely and should be a nice building for me to work out of. I'm starting to get a feel of how big it really is and I think I might have to buy some more stuff to fill it up.

Looking good, can't wait to see it filled w/fur!

Looking good young fella.

Nice job young man and Dad!!! You have a very supportive dad...kudos dad!!!

Get the roof on, a source of heat next and a power cord and you can work on it anytime then. Root first rain can do a lot of damage. You’re on the right track doing the same here it’s rewarding when you finish a goal and move on to the next one keep up the good work.
