Siding Started1244 viewsThe 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.

Bouncy Seat1230 viewsThis bouncy seat was a godsend for William and now for Andrew. It vibrates, plays soothing music and makes bubbles, and calms down a baby really well.

Waterloo Boy1219 viewsHere Cathy poses with a John Deere Waterloo Boy in the Museum of American History. If you've browsed elsewhere in this site, you know we're John Deere fans. You can also find other Deere pictures from previous vacations to Moline and Charles City.

Front Siding1191 viewsOops, what happened to the window and half the door? This picture was taken as we worked on the front siding-- the openings will be cut out of the siding once it's hung. One other note is that this siding comes pre-primed the brown color you see. We will be painting the shed a light brown with dark brown trim to match our house.

Budweiser1190 viewsOne rainy morning in St. Louis, we decided that a free tour of the Budweiser brewery might be the ticket to stay out of the rain. However, once on the tour, we found out that much of it involved walking outside! It wasn't too bad, though, and was interesting, even though the two of us aren't beer drinkers.

Ramp Foundation1109 viewsThe next task was for Tim to set out and complete the ramp for the shed. The first step was to create a level foundation for the far end of the ramp. For this, we used patio blocks, placed over a limestone base and placed and leveled so the end of the ramp would rest on them and have a solid surface.

Cleanup1086 viewsThe 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.
