Siding Complete - West Side835 viewsHere's another view from Bailey's run. Here you can see how the gable was framed out further from the truss so there is a slight overhang. The fascia boards are also installed, but the soffit boards are not.

Inside View of Door833 viewsHere's a view from inside the shed of Cathy working on the priming. Here you can also get a good view of the roll-up door in its rolled position.

West Side794 viewsHere's a view of the side of the shed, from inside Bailey's run. Having the shed this close to the fence makes for some tricky work. We had hoped to side the wall before we set it up, but the way the walls are staggered didn't allow for this. At the time this picture was taken, we had one panel of siding to go on the front, and the partial panel left to go on the side you see here, as well as the gable ends, which also need to be framed out so there is a slight overhang.

Garage Door790 viewsHere's some detail on the garage door. As noted above, it's made of coro cut to size, and "prerolled" so that it wants to roll up with the door tracks. The tracks were made out of 2x4 stock, making an L-shape using a half-lap joint, then freehand-routing a groove in them for the door to slide in. Four stabilizer bars of wood, bolted to the coro door, add lateral strength, similar to the struts on a real garage door. There's an extra 2x4 on top in this pic that shouldn't be there thanks to William!

Flashing New Door774 viewsHere the flashing is going around the new door to keep it weathertight.

Finished Shed712 viewsAnother view of the finished shed from a side angle. Eventually we will add some landscaping to soften the edges and foundation of the shed.

Priming finished, Painting started706 viewsThe priming is now finished, and we've painted the siding! If you compare this picture with those above, you'll see the siding has changed from a darker brown (which was the original primed color) to a lighter brown, which matches the color of our home. Notice we had already started using the shed at this point.

Insidethe Shed679 viewsHere's a view with the door open. We added some hanging storage for long-handled tools to the left of the tractor. Eventually we will add shelving in front of the tractor as well.

Starting the major assembly601 viewsWe continued outside on Wednesday afternoon. Cathy holds up "frame two" so it can be attached to "frame one" and the base. Before this whole project started, we had to do some semi-major leveling of the area, since it was on a gradual slope down toward our pond (most of our yard is sloping in some way).

Pond594 viewsAnother lovely view of the pond.

|
Side View580 viewsHere is a view from the side of our home. The pond is shown here, and is actually "L" shaped, framing one corner and most of one edge of our yard. The pond has been a wonderful natural element-- ducks, geese, a large turtle, and many other animals have been frequent visitors, and have been fascinating to watch.

Kitchen579 viewsWe did some major redecorating in the kitchen, using green/gray faux-finish look, and changing the cabinets to white. We also added some new lighting, as the previous didn't light the room well. The kitchen has enough room for a small tableas well. After this picture was taken, we replaced the range hood with an over-the-range microwave, and added new blinds on the window.
