First Time Shed Build

The first picture is where the project started. It was a small and short shed that was rotting. I needed more storage space and decided to start fresh. The entirety of the build was completed over the course of 6 weeks, the majority of it being solo. The only items I did not complete myself were the spray foam, mini split installation and epoxy flooring. Everything else was constructed by myself and the tools hanging on the wall in the final picture. This was my first attempt at building any type of structure. I wanted to say thanks to the group for the months of research it provided me before starting this project.

Some things not show, every rafter has hurricane ties on both end, I used 1/2x6 Simpson titan anchors immediately opposing each side of the door, each corner of the structure then every 4’ thereafter. The sub roofing system is ZIP 5/8” with the standard temp zip ice and water shield covering the entirety of the roof decking. Following that I laid GAF SBS cap sheet down.
