Shed project part two

Another day of work on Chris’ shed still wasn’t enough. With predictions of rain arriving today Robert headed up to Chris’ yesterday to help him put up trusses, nail the roof plywood in place and to shingle.

Although not totally completed, the shed is now essentially ready for rain. This would not have happened if Chris hadn’t built all the trusses, paneled the last wall, framed the two doors, and installed the window after we were there a week and a half ago.

Two doors to build, the rest of the shingling and finish work and the shed will be done. So what do you think, another day?

Build a shed and they will come

Well, more like they will be wheeled, shoved, pushed, slid, hauled, carried, pulled, and/or dragged—they being shovels, lawnmower, shredder, wheelbarrow, rakes, wood, chemicals, trimmers, weed whacker, and anything else Chris decides should live in a shed.

Since the rainy season is coming Chris has been anxious for a shed thus Robert and I spent our weekend at his house to build one. I came along deciding I could use his sewing machine to work on outfits I am making for Rylan and Aubrey and to chronicle the shed project with my camera.

Robert had hopes the shed could be completed by Sunday night. Those hopes were dashed when reality set in. The shed had to be designed, a ton of materials had to be purchased, a floor had to be built…two days just weren’t enough!
