Ok, so I had a junkie awning and no shed. I had an idea in my mind of how I could use it.
One day we tore the old awning that I was going to use for the shed
roof construction down. It was a weird structure that was built upside
down. The framework was on top. Later a friend revealed to me that it
looked like the old metal stripping that used they used to make trailers
for semis.
A week later, we pulled the decking boards off of the deck. It was
about ten by ten, and the floor joists were made from 2 X 12 lumber.
My wife and I dragged the deck joists in one piece about 30 feet
across the yard. Actually, now that I remember, we rolled it to the
shed site end over end.
I had in my possession free floor joists, a roof and old cedar siding
from a commercial building. As I began to piece it together, I wished I
had a plan. In my mind I saw plywood decking on the joists, 2 X 4
studs for walls and my old used awning laying frame down on top. I
learned that there was more to it than I figured on.
A plan with all the elements laid out and the order of progress would
have been nice. My advice is that if you are going to build anything, get a plan even for a shed.
