Shed being built today

[Zod]

Run electricity to it. If you don't do it you will find yourself needing it.

Yeah thats a must. miter saw, table saw, battery chargers. All that crap has to be out in the shed.

My lot in Tega Cay, as most lots in Tega Cay, does not allow for a shed. Sucks.

You might be better putting a subpanel out there rather than just a circuit or 2, doubt youd want to have to go inside should the 1 breaker trip....

We've got a ground-up 10x16...

My biggest piece of advice is to go ahead and seal it up as best you can, while letting the roof vent stay open for circulation. I've killed several black widows in ours the past couple years, and that is something you don't want your boys being around.

Another thing to look for is our builder was kinda careless when putting the outer boarding on, and missed the studs pretty bad in places (he then re-nailed into the studs, but left all his misses)... I had to cut off a lot of nails on the inside...

I think mine get in around the doors... so I'm going to put in some weatherstripping, etc this winter.

Also, any little crack and crevice will need to be filled to totally prevent them... My shed is in a partially wooded plot, so that doesn't help... If Zod's is going to be in an open, yard-type area, they won't be as bad either...

You can also spral thresholds and such with Ortho or a comparable insect spray... that will help some too...

Or, call John Goodman...

I would build a shed then a year later raze bc of spiders

[SCP]

Spiders make me scream in a very high pitched voice

[Guest Super_Freak]

Lol if you don't want spiders just bomb the place out every month or so.

[Guest Super_Freak]

Excited for my shed to be built today. 10x16 with an 8 foot sidewall.

Anyone build one out with shelves and such? Looking for ideas. Will be used for all the typical stuff, tools, work bench, etc.

Mini fridge.

Perhaps your wife could get into "Shedscaping"

[mmmbeans]

I built a 16'x24' a few years back. Its 1/2 my tools & 1/2 my mancave, unfortunately my wife thinks its 1/2 her storage... I ran electricity, satellite, phone & network out there. Got the whole thing from Builders Discount in Elizabeth City, about $4k plus concrete & my labor. It servers me well, have 2 tables of poker comfortably, 7 TVs for my viewing pleasure and I can still pull out my table saw when needed....

Added a 6'x8' & a 3'x'8' sheds off the backside for yard tools, dont need that clutter inside...

did you say 7 tvs?
