I don't work in the shed often, but some days when in the shed, it would be handy to put the camping gas stove on while I am in there. Camping gas stove has advantage in that it is so convenient to put it on, and no smells or smokes, instantly heats up (I have a metal can which works as heat...

Yes, metal is a natural resource which could be recycled to turn into something useful. The rusty nails which lie on the ground, drive way or garden path can cause damage to tires of cars or wheelbarrows, so they need to be picked up and cleared from these areas. I have been thinking about...

Good points. Thanks for your info and advice. Some says to go for WBP or external purpose ply for durability. We are going to look for WBP grade ply at least.

It should be ok gas stove is on only when the doors are open for ventilation, and when working in the shed with the doors widely open.

The metal shed will be kept open doors as often as possible for ventilation, and some sort of wood stove or gas stove will be running in the shed to dry out the space. Also planning to cover the roof with some sort of tarp to trying insulate from the elements. Height of the metal floor kit...

They are rusty but not too bad. Most of them are bent when pulled out from the pallet woods with the claw hammer. The nails are not that many to sell for money to scrap metal traders. At max. they could be about 200 - 300, or full in a shoe box. I was thinking of heating them with a gas...

Just set up a metal shed 13x11 on the slab in the corner of the garden. It came with the floor kit, and it is all installed. What would be better for the floor board on the floor kit in the shed? I can think of OSB or plywood. Which would be better for longer lasting floor board? Are there...

We are wondering why such a large hole had to be drilled into the wall for such a thin wire to come in?

Great instruction for the cosmetic repair process, thanks.

Got new internet installed by an ISP. The engineer from the ISP came out, and put a line in through the house wall by drilling it. After the installation is done, the internet seems working OK, but wife not happy about the way the wall was drilled. The drilled hole is way too large, and looks...

I saw the old post below the new post in the new thread under the heading "Similar Threads". The old post was relevant to what I am planning to do to my old shed repair, so I opened it, read it, and replied to it.

Could you have put down concrete for the floor?

Who buys them?

I am taking out 100s of the old rusty nails from the old pallets. (a very tedious job indeed) The dismantled woods will be cut into the lengths and made into a new door for the garden shed, replacing the old rotten shed door, and some slats will be patched on the rotten parts of the shed. Any...

Sure. I was just wondering if the leftover gravels / red chips could be used for subbase, if it would work ok without immediate obvious fault.
