Shed 2.0

Grandpa Farmer Bob came to town. We took a pile of wood and turned it into a shed in 3 days. The high temperature the first couple of days: 100 degrees F.

DAY 1:
Laid and squared out the foundation on the not-so-square slab. Built walls, raised walls, and placed center support beam.

Here is where things stood a couple hours into the second day.

DAY 2:
Measured angles, cut, and secured rafters. Put up walls. Cut and secured USB boards for the roof, applied drip edge.
Specials thanks to:

• Joe (tool rental and roofing work)
• Dien (walls and siding, and more)
• Nick (roof sheathing, walls, drip edge, and more)

Lining up the fascia boards with Nick and Bob.

 

Dien and Bob work the circular saw for wall assembly.

Day 2 materials glitch: 3 feet short of trip edge = late night trip to Home Depot.

DAY 3:
Applied shingles. Finished siding and eves. Applied trim pieces.

On day 3 the safety regulations were loosened.

Weekend 2:

The next weekend I had to fly solo. Luckily not much was left to do ... built doors, painted, and used some left over 2x4s to build the interial workbench.

Shed 2.0 Planning

Shed 2.0 was planned. Per Fairfax County regulations, the height would be less than 8' 6" tall. Using Punch! Home and Landscape Design, I was able to design and create a bill of materials. After three trips to Home Depot and an online order for windows/door hardware, we are ready to go.

About 70% of the materials
