Fossil Man Shed

[Latimeria]

So this thing is going to be serious.  Already went through the plans with my buddy and he's going to overbuild.

Only allowed 120 square feet without a permit, so we're fitting the space available with an 8'x14'.  Going to be made like a house with full insulation, two 3'x3' windows, Double Door, 36" steel door, and overhead storage.  Going to be about 11' tall, so like a legit shed. 

I got all of the wood ordered, but I had to buy the 2x4's separate since Lowe's didn't have 92-1/4" studs we were looking for.  (In order to make things easier and quicker to have lumber in the exact size we need)



I'll update this thread as progress moved forward.  I think we'll be starting it on Friday when the truck arrives with the rest of the wood, windows and doors.

Got me wondering what makes a shed vs. ADU needing permits, I guess being living quarters does change the need for regulation a good bit for an ADU. Are you gonna lay a foundation? Interested in the build.

Electric and water to start.  lol

We're keeping the DG pad and putting in 10" concrete deck blocks to hold it off of the DG and that way we can raise the shed if any more settling happens over time.

I have to admit, it's a bit overwhelming as it will be full 8' walls inside.  My wife is stoked since all of the skulls, antlers, and fossils will be out of the house and garage now.

I see more animal parts in the bed of a truck in your future now that you have a place to store them

Perhaps the whole skull will appear in his truck in 2026

Careful, your wife may see it as a place to send you to sleep when you piss her off.

I'll have a folding cot in there just in case.
