Building A Shed HQ

I’m writing this post to give you some pointers on building a storage shed and de-cluttering homes – which is I would say an expertise of mine.
Probably, a lot of questions come in mind before starting off with a project and for this one, first question would be how much will you spend and second, how beneficial would it be on your end. I think the ultimate question here is what is the importance of building a shed?
Well, all this is covered below so please read on!

Of course we don’t really need an expert or even a relative to tell us, ‘hey, fix your stuff’. We just need some good advice on the right way to build a shed to solve the mystery of our unending clutter problems and in doing so increasing our property value.

Where you might ask yourself is where does this clutter come from anyway? First we have all that old stuff we kind for memories sake. Like all the ‘firsts’ – that is – first outfit from the hospital, first Halloween costume, first pair of shoes, first toy, and so on. Then we have clothes we have out grown but simply can’t part with because of too much sentimentality – pants, sweaters and the like. Not to mention all the things that aren’t needed anymore but we still keep because we might use it someday. Lastly, we have Christmas decors, coats and boots, items we do not use so often but feel we need them – all of which are actually filling the spaces in our homes but aren’t really that essential at the moment.

Remember, our homes are for our family’s security, health and comfort. Not storage space for old stuff and memorabilia.

So then what’s keeping you from building a shed? I bet when you get to start with your storage shed and see the outcome of it, you’ll just tell yourself – wow! I can do it!

So if your building a shed for storage you need to:

• Pick-up a copy of some good quality plans such as Ryan Henderson’s ‘My Shed Plans’
• Select the shed plans that best fits your design needs.
• Select your building site and prepare the site for the build.
• Use the list of materials that are included in the set of shed plans to purchase everything you will need.
• Call on a few of your pals to help with the heavy lifting, I like the term ‘Shed Building party!’ (beers and a BBQ after?…)
• Let your clear out begin!
