Tuesday August 9, 2011-shed west wall

Hello faithful reader.

Between Sunday with its off and on rain and yesterday, i managed to get the west wall built. Managed to screw up twe cuts on Sunday, so no more partial work, do it all or not at all. Needed to do some minor edge adjustment on the north wall lay out to get it square enough Rod will not notice during rafter placement but that was ll. So far i have impressed my self.
Oh the cat shot is for fun.

Saturday August6, 2011-Shed floor and some walls.

Hello faithful reader.

Well a couple of busy days on the shed build. Thursday i built and painted the south wall which is close to the garage, so i wanted to prep as much as possible on the floor. I can get between the wall and the garage, but its just easier this way. Friday i built and painted the north wall, figured what the hell might as well stay consistent with the other wall right. Liz did the priming and paint on the OSB board then i just cut to fit my 10' x 6' high frames. The south wall seems to look out of level at the front, but i checked the corners with a rod and level, well actually a Wild T1a transit at 90 degrees but the results are the same, and all of the corners were with in my 1/4" tolerance, or at least i thought they were.
Any way here are some more build photos.

Thanks for listening

Tuesday July 26, 2011-The shed project

Hello faithful reader.
I have decided to rebuild my old tins shed. Its leaking and falling apart. This was not a spur of the moment decision, but a 5 year master plan. The plan you ask, well it takes me 5 years to get off my ass and do it.

Any way, the work has started , lumber in the driveway, so I thought i would do a pictorial essay of the progress.

Here is day 1 and 2.

Thanks for listening.
