I work in commercial construction. I spend my days looking at buildings that cost millions of dollars and take years to put up. And I kept thinking: I could build a room. A room is not hard. A room in my own backyard would take me from twenty minutes away to fourteen steps away.
So that's what The Shedquarters Co. is. Not a brand that sells you a dream — a record of one guy framing gambrel trusses after work, getting some of it wrong, and putting a real gym in a real backyard on a normal budget.
Every product on the gear list is something I paid for and used. Every phase on the build page is a weekend I actually spent out there. If you're thinking about doing the same thing, this is the version of the internet I wish existed when I started: the receipts, the mistakes, and the order to do it in.
Ten by twenty. Gambrel roof so there's headroom to press overhead. Rubber over ply. Steelers and Penguins on the wall, Aggie maroon on the floor. The rack is sitting in the garage right now, waiting on a floor. Not much longer.
