Roofing the shed

 I did get some rain! The tarps held, but wow did it rain. It took me forever to get the tarps down before I could start roofing again. The first thing I had to do was actually take down the ridge beam and set it again so I could get a straighter ridge, then hang the rest of the roof joists.

Tarp roof is only so good

Water testicles hehe

The other side

After dumping the water and removing the tarps, I reset the ridge beam to the right height and added the rest of the joists

Sheeted the gable walls and started the roof

Blocking for the overhangs

Finished sheeting and added tar paper

taped a copy of the house floor plans to the inside of the door

Then I took Ella to a movie. we're huge anime fans

This trip up I got everything ready to shingle, then just ran out of time before I could start. It's starting to look like a shed now! In the dry!

Let's build a shed!

 On the land in Boone, step 1 is to build a shed after I staked out where I wanted to put the house. There is a post script to that shed, but it starts with building it.

Loaded down and ready to build

The blocks beside the driveway are where we're going to build

It's a build site!

Blocks are in the ground

Floor framing is on and leveled

Now with more subfloor!

First wall is standing

2nd wall got sheeted before standing

Now with more walls

Carpenter up!

Cut the roof rafters and stood up the ridge beam

I covered this in tarps because I ran out of time to finish getting the roof put up and it was supposed to rain. See tomorrow's post for the result of that haha

This was Easter weekend so I had a long time to get this done. The trick was that Lowe's was closed for Easter Sunday, so I lost half a day when we ran out of supplies. I used a generator to run the tools for the first time and that worked out very well until I ran out gas. We got an airbnb for the long weekend so I could get out and build this with Kelley, her mom stayed with the kids. It went up pretty quick and I'm pretty happy with the way this part turned out. In the end, the ridge beam is pretty warped so I had a really tough time getting a flat roof haha
