Your neighbor is quite the gardener.
Building my own shed with patio

That’s a nice shed!
Started staining the wood today. I sanded off any marks and printing on the wood, you cant tell where they were once the stain goes on. I was worried, because the wood looks much lighter once sanded
I really need a cordless sander...

I don't think I posted this anywhere yet, but I found the BEST electrical boxes. These are deep enough to be closed while in use (Assuming the cord is not too thick) but is still almost completely flush with the outside. $50 a pop so not cheap. I am going with a 20a outlet with the tabs broken, top outlet on L1 and bottom on L2, and then an L14-30R on a 30a outlet
I will have 3 of these boxes around the shed. They will share a single 30a outlet, and 2 x 20a breakers
Covers don't seem to exist for this config, so I had to get creative. Don't worry, I have some stainless screws on the way too

I think its really going to pop when I paint the trim brown. The stain will loose a bit of zing as it dries, so its not as orange when its fully dry
Sanded off any marks from the back today, big job tomorrow!

Slow going, but we're getting some trim done! I think brown looks good. I did also do the soffit and patio roof

So much nicer than cement board …
I got some cement board on my house, on some huge gable walls, and I sometimes regret it. Its nice because it will never rot out, but thats all I like about it
I really do like wood

Forget about storing your lawn mower in there, that would be a solid AirBNB for the low budget traveler.
Yeah, it has come quite nice for a shed...
More painting done, apart from any second coats, all thats left is the soffit/trim border. I've been putting that off!

Really happy! Think I'm pretty much done with painting apart from a few touch ups here and there
Removed some lumber to get the roll up door clearance. I don't think it poses any structural concerns, but I went ahead and added some extra supports and screwed everything to everything
Haha, so 3.8 feet and 3 foot 8 inches are somewhat different! I measured my door for 3.8 feet which is 45.6. The door I actually ordered was 3 foot 8 inches, which is 44 inches!
Thankfully, I had not yet figured out what I was doing for trim, so just adding 1 inch (3/4 actual) trim on either side fixed my mistake
Came really good. I was a little bummed its slightly smaller, however its still a really big opening, big enough for a shed I think. And the smaller the door, the stronger it is
VERY VERY happy with the door
