My husband built a backyard shed totally on his own.
It was such a relief since storage was a big concern in our household.
We had one bedroom that was converted into a storage area. I ended up needing the space for laundry. All my husband’s tools had nowhere to go then. He leveled the ground, made cement pillars, and erected a shed. He did the siding, flooring, and the roof. I was so proud of him. He just didn’t connect the roof fully to his shed walls. There was a little bit of finished work left. It was over a year before he decided that it needed to be done. By that point, my husband was done with all things roofing. So he ended up hiring a roofing business to take care of it themselves. It took the guys under an hour and cost hardly anything. They just did a few finishing touches to ensure the roof was sealed properly. My husband was relieved not to go back up there and tackle that project again. I was glad that he was willing to hire something out. After doing all that work on his shed, he deserved a break. The roofers did a really good job. We saved their number and figured that someday they would be back. Residential roofs don’t last forever after all. It will be within ten years that a whole new roof will be needed on our house. I will call those guys up and have them match the roof to the shed most likely.
