Heavy Duty Incorporated

This is a shed I built in the backyard of house we had about ten years ago. We moved shortly after it was completed. We took some snaps with a polaroid, but couldn’t get back far enough to get a shot of the whole thing because some trees were in the way. I finally scanned these last year.

My dad, for some reason, had some galvanized panels laying around and I was happy to take them off his hands. It was the exact number needed to make this small shed. I dimensioned it to fit what I had for material. There was one panel with a different pattern so I used that for the door. For the most part it’s pretty much a conventional frame job, with the panels used as sheathing. I used plywood for the door and then clad it with the oddball. You can bet that cutting the arcs in the panels and beams was a PITA.

I think I called in sick for a couple days to get it done. I was working for the man, big time, at the shipyard. I didn’t need much reason to be “sick.”
