Framing FinishedWe didn't pause to take any other photos-- this one shows where we stopped for the day when rain started falling. The front of the building will have a roll-up door and a window (being demonstrated by Cathy). We made good progress before the rain-- getting all the walls framed and trusses up and temporarily braced.

Shed Rear FramingHere's a view from the rear of the shed. The trusses made roof construction simple -- just place them and nail them up (bracing them temporarily with some scrap wood). At this stage the gables still need to be framed out a bit wider so there will be a slight overhang on the gable ends.
|
CleanupThe intensity of the rain increased quickly, so I snapped one final picture of Cathy bringing in the last of the tools and supplies. Now that framing is essentially complete (other than the gable framing mentioned above) the next task is to hang the plywood siding and roof sheathing.
|
Siding StartedThe next two days (Sunday and Monday) we were able to get some of the siding hung. The siding we're using is some nice quality 4x8 plywood siding which looks like 8" boards hung vertically. One nice thing about this type of siding is that it serves as both the sheathing and the siding, so it means less work. This picture shows the back of the shed fully sided, and the two sides partially sided.
|
Back finishedHere's a view from the front, which has yet to be sided. Having the back wall finished definitely makes the shed start to look more complete. With just the two of us working, it was a bit tricky at first to position each panel and get it hung in the proper place, be we got better at it as we went along.
