    Another view of the pavers and the ramp leading to the shed. The base of the ramp was where the dogs were helping me dig.

    Based on this guy's handiwork, I believe he's capable of just about anything! ::

    Very good so far. If I had the room, I would have used this as a "how to" to build one for myself. Put a pellet stove in and you can definitely sleep in there.

    Very Nice Progress IMHO

    Super job so far. I can't wait to see the outside. Are you going to use siding, stucco, or what?

    I can't hardly believe it. I rarely injure myself working with tools anymore. Somehow, today, I managed to get one of those really inconvenient boo boo's. Right behind the nail of my left hand.

    I was on the ladder running a 4-inch grinder with sanding attachment on the hip of the gambrel roof. My left hand was below the hip for balance and I was sanding on the hip line above the joint with my right hand. I was extended slightly, but didn't feel the position was unsafe.

    The aggressive grit of the disc caught the hip just right as I was making the last sweep to the left. The grinder went over the edge of the joint right over the top of my thumb. I was irritated that I had to stop and clean it up. I knew it would really be a dirt bomb if I did not put something over it. It smarted a bit because I used a toothbrush to clean it up. Soft bristles of course. Then a bit of Neosporin, a swath of gauze and duct tape. Now I'm good to go again.


    If you want to see what a half second of a spinning sanding disc on flesh does, go here. Warning! Don't do it if you get upset looking at injuries.

    This project is taking way too long. In my own defense, I've done everything by myself. I still have the rest of the insulation, sheet rock, shelving, and doors to finish... but it is gradually getting there.
    [vbpg]781[/vbpg]


    Oh yeah, and I gotta finish the soffit and ventilation system too. I don't think you can see the skylight that is already in place.
    [vbpg]782[/vbpg]


    There's a reason the studs don't match the rafters... trust me.

    Heh Heh Heh! I beat the rain. Whoo Hoo.

    Sorry Bill,

    There is no way that building can be construed as a shed; this is a shed. Well in the UK it is anyway. :rofl We would have to get planning consent to build a construction that big in our gardens. Looking good though;)

    Wow Bill,

    It's coming along very nicely and looks great. I need a shed as well, your making me think about building it myself vs. ordering one from Tuffshed or something similar. I would assume the costs of the materials aren't too bad in comparison..

    Keep up the great work Bill! :signs107 :happy096
