What Hacker News says?

  1. It's definitely challenging if you don't have any prior experience. My dream was always to have an office shed in my backyward until I decided to build one earlier this year before the pandemic. It turned out pretty good and it took me around three months to build it. Its hard work for sure but I couldn't be happier. I wrote a blog post about it. https://eduardosasso.co/blog/how-i-built-a-wfh-shed/

  3. This hits home in so many levels. I’ve built a shed for many of the reasons mentioned and it was such a rewarding and gratifying experience. Just seeing that constant tangible progress and the primal feeling of building something that protects you from the elements felt strangely satisfying. I documented the process in here. https://eduardosasso.co/blog/how-i-built-a-wfh-shed/
