What home improvement work did you do today?

We are working the process. We need to improve the drainage around the driveway first, then work the driveway.

 

Sketching out some ideas for a shed build this morning, most likely a 8x12 on treated skids.
I would love a waterproof floor with a drain, for parking a 4wheeler/snow blower in there.
The only thing I've come up with is marine grade plywood with a trench drain.

Any other ideas?

 

Why not a slab?

 

I need it on skids. I thought about doing a skim coat on the floor but figured it would just crack whenever I move the shed.

 

I used some marine plywood as a deck in my work truck, I even coated/sealed with thomsons or whatever. It’s already delaminating……… granted it’s exposed but I thought it would have lasted longer than 2 months.

 

What about bed lining the floor. Then give the shed a slight pitch towards the back or side with a drain that flows to a pipe out the back

 

That's failing pretty quick, but you do live on the sun.

 

Hahah true, but the sun is different than the ocean, so I don’t get why it failed so quickly!

 

I like that idea.
Raptor liner or something that has a little flexibility and can also be touched up easy

 

True, you even have the "but it's a dry heat" climate so I got nothing!

 

Finally! Took 4 months for full gut and remodel. Glass took 4 weeks to come in but finally installed!

Bathroom done.

It took 10 years but we’ve de oaked and remodeled the entire house.

 

I got nothing

Maybe diamond plate decking?


How come you gotta be able to move it? Genuinely curious. I’ve always built structures to stay put

 

Lol.
Where I want this to sit, I'll likely build a shop in the future. If it's on skids, I can always sell it too.

 

Maybe buy a cheap utility trailer and build it on top of that?

 

Not sure if this is the advice he wants, but maybe what he needs

 

Now we're talking! Tiny home/shed

 

Mobile Man shack

 

In his climate, it might double as an ice fishing shanty

 

As long as the poop hole and fishing hole are clearly labeled, it shouldn’t be an issue

 

Just as long as Dirty Mike and the boys don't show up, I'm in.

 

Ended up going with a soft corner rectangular mirror. I had to move it over due to a vent I knew was in the wall so it’s like 1/8” off….hope you can’t tell. Also, sealed the marble tub surround. Grout and trim and touch up paint and it should be good. Also hung the door. Man solid core doors are heavy.

 

Looks really good

 

Not done yet, but while we were eating dinner our samsung dishwasher started barking at us. Pulled it out and found the inner drain hose dripping. Quickest I can get one is through the small business steam roller... $70 for a foot of corrugated pipe with a rubber check valve.

 

Love your name for bezos-mart

 

Weekend work,

Full house with youngest & oldest granddaughters Plus here for the weekend BUT dam don't that make a house feel like a Home and we all had

room to stretch out , 350 square feet don't seem like much BUT throw in a second bathroom with a house full of girls

Son & I pressure washed 3/4 of the house after some landscaping details BUT the girls wanted "Dad time" so the "list" can wait

 

Today I went from this:



To this: I purchased a big peg board from Lowes and cut it to size. I also spray painted it black. I still hate the cord situation but haven't come up with a better solution.

 

Tiled the kitchen backsplash tonight. Almost used the simplemat, thought better of it and went old school with thinset adhesive.

Had dinner plans last night and duck hunted yesterday morning, so ran out of time to finish the grout last night. Got all but the right hand side of the oven done. Got the pot filler installed.
