Got Sheds

My last house which my younger sister now lives in has a shed. Ceder, 8'X10'. A previous owner put it in. I wanted to replace the shed with something having a loft, but the city codes only allow for a 100 square foot.
A loft would add storage or could be a clubhouse for your kids.

Da shed, as in "You guys go putcher toys in da shed!" because y'know, Chicago.
The "Old Shed" (built in 1929), the "new shed", and the "middle shed". They all get filled up with mostly junk!

That's a nice man cave.

Yes … my storage building (not on shed list, similar to picture) has a front and rear loft …

Ain't that the truth … and have some junk stored in town, out of site, out of mind …

I've thought about making an additional shed/ barn thing or perhaps getting a shipping container, but it'll be cheaper just adding a lean to onto my existing pole barn.
Wife doesn't want a shipping container because of how tacky it'll look, but it'll be behind the barn and won't be seen from the house or road. I would also paint it barn color. It's no different than somebody with 20 cars and a few campers spread throughout their property, but it's best not to argue. Lol.

A friend in Louisiana added those wings to his barn … once he moved boats and tractor etc, etc under those … he finally has working shop space inside …

I don't recall seeing a lot of sheds in Chicago yards.

Nice. I'm trying to get some ideas on how to fasten the higher side onto the barn. I've seen some people just use a 2x8 or 10 and some hoist hangers. Seems simple enough I guess.
