Say hello to our mighty little shed! This little gem has lived a few different lives, including living quarters during our house build, a workshop, a guest house, a welding studio, and a pottery studio. Solid construction with 12” on center floor and ceiling joists, fully sheathed in 7/16” OSB with house wrap, insulation, roof underlayment, metal roof, cedar T&G siding. All windows are operable.
The shed is wired w/ 15amp outlets, LED ceiling can lights on a dimmer, and a small baseboard heater/thermostat. At the moment, the shed is connected to power via a single extension cord plugged into an exterior reverse outlet. It would not be that difficult to install a sub panel and run 30, 60, or even 100 amps from your power source of choice.
The interior subfloor is a little worn out and warped, mainly from the shed settling unevenly because it was not on a solid surface. The floor is mostly covered with vinyl flooring. If you plan to use this for living space, I would recommend putting down 1” rigid insulation over the subfloor, and then the flooring of your choice over that. The door threshold is set up off the subfloor so is ready to go for this kind of upgrade.
Built on 3 long skids so that it can be moved “easily”, but this thing is very heavy. I am willing to help you load onto a trailer, I would recommend renting a heavy duty flatbed. Happy to provide some recommendations and offer my non-professional moving advice.
Shed Construction:
~Dimensions: 12 feet wide, 18’ long, low wall is 8’, high wall is 10’. Total height from bottom of runners is appx 13’. Walls are 2x4 construction.
~The shed is built on top of three 4x10x18’ long runners
~Both the roof joists and the floor joists are reclaimed true 2x10s at 12” on center, salvaged from a house in Tetonia and have that tight grain that you don’t see with new lumber these days.
~Walls and ceiling are insulated with fiberglass batts. Floor is un-insulated.
~There is some very ugly 70's paneling on walls and ceiling that you can leave up or cover with drywall if you'd like.
~Shelves and workbench are easy to take down if you have a different purpose in mind
Electrical:
~Wiring is 12 gauge romex with 15 amp receptacles.
~Can lights are globe electric on a dimmer switch, and take GU-10 style bulbs
~Baseboard heater is a simple 120V unit with a wall mounted thermostat
~Outdoor sconce light, and an outdoor GFCI outlet
~Entire shed is powered through an in-line outlet with a reverse plug that can be used with any heavy-duty extension cord.
