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.
