A Shedding We Will Go!

Weekend two of shed construction. We completed the roof rafters Friday afternoon and Saturday we screwed on the fascia board roof sheathing. Wrestling oriented strand plywood boards up onto the shed rafters was a bit challenging with two people and a breeze. Fortunately, the wind didn't get really stiff until after we finished screwing the boards down.

Kenny, my brother, camped Thursday through Sunday on Die Weide. He has camped for years and has all the supplies for a nice camp site. I'm envious! You can see his tent under the picnic pecan. Before the month of March is over with I intend to camp out at Die Weide too.

Did you see the pickup next to the shed? There's a story behind that too. Pressure Treated 4x6 posts warp at a sneeze and Kenny noticed a warped lean on the shed, so he backed his truck against the offending post and ratcheted a 2x6 board to the warped post to straighten it out until we get the sheathing on.

I ordered the metal roofing supplies to be picked up this week. Along with the gutters, I hope we will have the shed ready to collect rain next week.
