This project is small potatoes compared to the stuff I've seen in this thread, but it was my first "major" improvement project that involved framing and carpentry, and I am very proud of the product.
I have a 10' by 20' shed with an attic crawl. The original construction was done well, but some ignoramus decided that some storage in the attic would be useful. Good idea, but the implementation was lacking. They hacked through the ceiling, cutting the 2x6 joists, and slapped some random scraps of plywood and particle board up on top of the rafters. They took the hacked out paneling and formed a door out of it, something that you had to climb up a ladder and hold it up to undo three brass latches. The cuts were no where near square. They just drilled a row of holes in order to get a handsaw through and went to town cutting.
When I went to open the hatch and it fell off the hinges and knocked me off the ladder, I said "screw it, I can do better than this.". And so it began.
