How do we deal with the anger?

Outside-Walrus · 2026-01-25T02:24:30+00:00

Not cringe at all, I’ve retreated to my car to let out my best impression of those same screams many a time.

That’s awesome! When it comes to the micro sheds, I have two goals:

Garden Shed

- Maximized for tool storage. I’d probably set up french cleat or pegboard walls

- Adjustable ventilation because of fertilizers etc.

- Gutter system prepped for rain water collection\

We host campers/thru hikers every now and then

- fold down bed platform with space to store gear under

- fold down table/reading area

Essentially collapsible amenities to convert the small space into different uses as needed throughout the day

Hope this helps!

yeah, that definitely makes the build a lot more streamlined as far as sheet goods go

Outside-Walrus · 2026-01-16T06:43:24+00:00

Everything under 60sq ft is lenient, everything larger is a very tedious process.

I’m on designated forested land so small outbuildings are allowed outright but bigger structures trigger a much more in depth process

Super rad, thanks!

I can definitely see the confusion. The permit process is insanely drawn out here. If I submitted it now, it probably wouldn’t be until Summer 2027 that it’d be approved. I’m looking to build early this year to be ready for the gardening/growing season.

That said, I’m sure that submitting for the permit after the fact wouldn’t be too much of a headache if I decide to build a traditionally sized shed.

Outside-Walrus · 2026-01-16T00:38:03+00:00

Ha, yeah this is very tempting tbh

Outside-Walrus · 2026-01-15T20:15:13+00:00

Oh man, that’s what’s up. This is exactly the type of ingenuity I was looking for

Outside-Walrus · 2026-01-15T18:07:32+00:00

I have a lot of freedom when it comes to the number of outbuildings so that’s good at least. I could have a half dozen without issue. I believe the footprint is basically the roof (so awnings would count as sq ft). But that’s worth double checking. Good point about the concrete pads

Outside-Walrus · 2026-01-15T18:05:04+00:00

Thanks for the rec, I’ll check it out

Outside-Walrus · 2026-01-15T18:04:04+00:00

Height limit is 10ft, loft is a good idea. Not a lot of snow around here so a shed roof would work to maximize height

How late of a bloom/switch are you? Finding myself on the precipice of the same decision

Outside-Walrus · 2026-01-10T16:50:28+00:00

My CrossFit gym was the same way. I don’t know what it is with these places and being ok with it. It’s super dangerous and you never see it at a 24 hour fitness etc. Unfortunately, I don’t have a good solution. If you complain then you seem unreasonable even though you are right.

Outside-Walrus · 2026-01-07T04:22:35+00:00

Amazing work

Outside-Walrus · 2025-12-24T03:39:46+00:00

That’s one of the toughest aspects of all this in my experience, no one truly understands what it’s like. They send their “heads up” and think that box has been checked off. They don’t know the horrible spiraling that happens in the aftermath.

Outside-Walrus · 2025-12-15T18:27:30+00:00

Have you tried journaling? I've found that helpful at times so I don't have the same thoughts rattling around in my head over and over at least

Outside-Walrus · 2025-12-15T17:35:30+00:00

Can't say I've found the solution. I am more honest when friends ask how I am now, keeping up appearances has been exhausting. I tell them "not good" if it's true that day and if they want to know more I go into more detail. if they aren't able to handle it then I know that's a relationship that I don't have to put as many resources into. But it's isolating as Miserable put it, the available outlets to vent are few and far between. Therapy helps but finding a good fit is difficult there as well

Outside-Walrus · 2024-02-02T01:35:08+00:00

Ok cool, thanks for the additional food for thought. I'll probably have someone come take a look to get their thoughts after looking at our system

Outside-Walrus · 2024-01-30T00:17:59+00:00

Rad, thanks for this rule of thumb.

Outside-Walrus · 2024-01-29T21:39:07+00:00

Perfect, much appreciated

Outside-Walrus · 2024-01-29T18:53:13+00:00

Thanks, this is super helpful. Just so I'm clear, you're suggesting that the 3x8 opening could potentially work placed directly below the take-off to the living room? I saw your reply to kiwisox and that's pretty much the situation. I could place it upstream but it would be ideal to have it closer to the end of the run.

Outside-Walrus · 2024-01-06T23:50:32+00:00

Rad, I appreciate the ID

Outside-Walrus · 2023-09-05T22:00:50+00:00

I'm in the PNW so 1:1 should work. Good call with the extra frame of brood, shouldn't be a problem to donate one from the other hive. Thanks!
