  • Hi Guest - Did you know?
    Hot Topics is a Safe for Work (SFW) forum.

Have you ever sleep inside of shed?

Yeah, if you buy a pre-built one. If you're the DYI type it supposedly has been done for $8000.

I really wouldn't recommended doing you're own plumbing or electrical though. You're asking for loads of trouble if you're dumb enough to do either of those.

I would never pay someone to do electrical ... that is one of the things I would absolutely without a doubt do myself!
Electric is fine (and fairly easy) as long as you know what you're doing.


The 8k price range seems much more like it...but I'm also the type that would DIY for most things

Have fun frying yourself.

If you know what you're doing and follow the local codes (and get a permit to do the work), you won't fry yourself. And it's completely legal. Same with plumbing. But you MUST get permits so the work can be inspected.
 
^^Yep just what gsdx said.
Its a matter of knowing what you are doing, and (knowing codes is you plan on getting permits/having it inspected).
If you don't know what you are doing, then electric is not something to mess with.

I've done electrical work (at home) before, and yep I have passed the county inspections.
To me plumbing is harder, but yeah I have done small things.
 
^ Unfortunately, a lot of people watch YouTube videos and think they're experts. If they don't burn down or flood their homes, the potential is always there because of their inexperience and cockiness.
 
I can do some simple wiring. Like replacing a light switch, wall plug or light fixture. Running wires in walls and into a breaker panel, I wouldn't even think of attempting.

I can do a tad with plumbing. Yanking a toilet and reinstalling it. Putting new guts in it. I've replaced a hot water heater (electric) too. Replace a faucet I can do. But I'm not going to attempt full out plumbing.
 
I have remolded kitchens and bathrooms, also replaced old wiring and installed ceiling fans and water heaters. I never ran into problems, but I wouldn't recommend that just anyone do it, some could cross thread a light bulb.

I did build a shed, not from a kit, but I never slept in it.
 
Most of the light fixtures I've installed have lasted for at least nine months. :biggrin:

For something the size of a shed plumbing and electrical aren't much more difficult than building with Tinkertoys, and less complex than many LEGO sets.

Only for people who know what to do and how to do it. I know the codes about plumbing and wiring, but I would never dare to wire and plumb even a small shed.

You don't need to "know what to do" any more than with a LEGO set: there are instruction books easily available at libraries.

Only when you're putting more than like two things on a single circuit does any difficulty arise. In a shed, you'll have a couple of lights, possibly a heater, perhaps a ventilation fan, and an extra couple of outlets just in case. You're putting in fewer circuits than there are fuses in a small electrical box, so it's essentially tinkertoys.

I've done a number of wiring jobs that small and hadn't the slightest clue what I was doing with the first one; I just put the right colors in the right slots and checked the simple addition to be sure I wasn't overloading the fuses, and that was that.
The real fun in wiring comes when you start to put enough things on a circuit that having them on all at once would overload the fuses or box, but you're working with average load or expected load -- for that, I go down to the building supply store and they'll help me print out a diagram; they have software that do the math and such and produce instructions very much like LEGO instructions. And I don't sweat those much; they have to be inspected anyway, so I'm not depending on myself for the final result.

I find plumbing a new building to be more of a pain, because it's necessary to be very precise with slopes and such especially for drain pipes (when they say a one inch drop per yard, they mean at every single point, not on average, and not more-or-less).

I've seen DIY nightmares from people who read library and store-bought books and watched online videos. Books and videos can't teach everything.

Sure, they could do it, and so could JP, but would it be safe? Probably not. If you don't know what you're doing, don't do it.

I would guess that the barely completed high school, if at all. Either that, or they watched some basics and thought they knew everything.
